Frequently Asked Questions

What are the backgrounds made of?
Super Smooth 15 oz Matte Vinyl

What sizes are available?
24″ x 36″

Are the backgrounds waterproof and stain proof?
All backgrounds are waterproof but not stain proof. Use caution to avoid spillage and wipe immediately to avoid staining (especially colourful fruit such as raspberries or strawberries).

Are the backgrounds heat resistant?
No, the backgrounds are not heat resistant and will become distorted if exposed to heat so do not place hot dishes directly on the background.

What is the best way to store them?
Roll loosely and store in the sturdy mailing tube it’s shipped in, or lay flat.
Never fold your backgrounds! folding will produce creases that may not come out.

Why does the colour of my background look slightly different than the background I ordered online?
All monitors display colour and brightness differently, and when you are shooting your own images, different light situations result in different tones: morning light is blue (cool), afternoon and evening light is yellow (warm).

How do I use the backgrounds?
For flat lays, we recommend placing the background on a smooth surface such as a large piece of white foam core (available at most craft stores). The backgrounds are well suited for top-down photography with the camera placed at least 2-3 feet above your subject. In a vertical image, use small bits of masking tape to secure the background to foam core, and position it behind your scene.

Where are the backgrounds created?
The backgrounds are created in Canada and/or the United States.
