The backdrops you are renting are quite expensive to produce and to repair. If they are allowed to get wet, torn or dirty, significant repair costs can accrue.

Small tears and simple repairs can be accomplished by our warehouse personnel with a charge of $20.00 per man hour. If we need to touch up a drop, the charge is $50.00 per man hour with a minimum charge of $50.00. Sewing labor is charged out at $30.00 per hour.

Please make certain that the personnel responsible for hanging our backdrops are experienced and comply with the following instructions.

    1.When unpacking the backdrops, make certain the area is clean and dry to reduce the chance of staining or otherwise damaging the drop.

    2.Use care when tying the drop to battens and pipes, and allow time for the drop to hang so wrinkles will be eliminated.

    3.If clamps are used, be sure they are rubber tipped or that cloth is used beneath the clamp to reduce the chance of damage to the drop.

    4.If only a portion of the drop will be used, be sure to roll up the unused section of the drop rather than folding it so it doesn't crack the paint.

    5.When your performance is over, lower the drop onto a clean surface, removing all remnants of props, tape, dirt, staples and other items. Do not roll dirt or other debris into the backdrop or damage could occur resulting in costly repairs. Replace the drop in its shipping bag and seal with tape for protection when it is being returned to our studio.

By observing these procedures, the backdrops will remain in good condition and costly repairs can be eliminated.
