Fabric Backdrops use high-resolution printed fabric — typically polyester or coated canvas — and are available in Backlit and Frontlit options. Their matte, non-reflective surface makes photography and video capture easier and colour reproduction more consistent when printed with dye-sublimation or high-quality inkjet. Fabric rolls up for compact storage and transport, making it ideal for studios, events, exhibition booths and premium brand displays. Octopus provides full-service support from artwork setup and printing to frame systems (frame / pop-up / SEG) and on-site installation.
