Wrinkle-Resistant Background Use and CareUpdated 7 minutes ago

Our wrinkle-resistant backgrounds feature a textured pattern that helps conceal minor wrinkles. Combined with the natural bokeh blur from your camera lens, this creates a smooth, seamless appearance. For best results, make sure to photograph the textured side, not the smooth side.

When using our X-Drop Frames, pull the background tight to achieve a clean, polished look.

Due to our retail packaging, backgrounds are tightly folded, so deeper creases may be visible upon initial unpacking.

Removing Creases

  • Fabric backdrops can be put into a dryer using a normal heat setting for drying clothes.
  • A steamer can be used on the smooth side while the background is hanging to remove the deep folds. 
  • You can gently fold the background in the opposite direction of the existing creases and let it rest that way for a day, or as long as possible, to help reduce deep creases. 

Wrinkle-resistant backgrounds are best stored loosely, wadded up in a storage bag, such as our Background Storage Bag. Do not fold or roll for storage.
