What stage is a 12 × 8 m backdrop suitable for?
At 96 square meters (approximately 1,033 sq ft), this is a festival main-stage format: suitable for open-air stages 12 to 15 meters wide, stadium support acts, and large corporate events. The printed fabric weighs approximately 19.7 kg and is hung by a crew of four from flown truss or ground support. It is secured at the top using 25 grommets spaced at 50 cm intervals. At this size, the backdrop must also be tensioned at the bottom; otherwise, wind can exert considerable force on it. The format is made from several panels, with seams that are invisible in the matte decor fabric. Prepare your print files at a scale of 1:10. Intermediate sizes up to 25 × 20 m are available as custom-size stage backdrops.
