Paper Back Drop Rolls

[Tin Can]

Very happy to see AMAZON now delivers it

I have 3 roll rack bought used, well before I signed in here

The trick is to get it without a crease

now do I trust them or B&H



I really hate returns

I use to get the wide rolls shipped to the university regularily -- never received one damaged.

Savage rolls usually come boxed, little chase of creasing unless the box has been majorly mauled.

Can buy them locally if I ever need it again. Last one was deep blue and hung from a rod on a high ceiling. The bottom touched the floor. The couple being posed came to the door. But right then, the kitten got ahold of the bottom of the roll, unfurled about 15 feet of it, managed to re-roll that amount on the floor, then ran back and forth inside that paper tunnel going crazy with it. When I walked into the studio room with my clients, there was blue confetti everywhere! That was long ago, but everyone got a huge laugh out of it, and the clients waited for me to clean up the floor, boot the cat outdoors, and pull down the still intact part or the roll.

I think I still have a roll of that 70’s portrait-background blue, strapped to the ceiling of my attic because I can’t bear to throw it away.

It didn’t occur to me to mount it and use it as a video backdrop, which I really needed as of about three years and eight months ago. That blue is actually pretty good for video training courses.

I bought a 6-foot-wide cellular window shade online from Lowe’s, and when I went to the store to pick it up, it was folded at the midpoint in its cardboard box. The funny part of that was having to convince the dolts at Lowe’s that there was a problem.

But I think a longish roll of paper has a lot of inherent strength that window shade did not.

My DIY hanger is for backdrops is a two rod brackets and a wood dowel. Works great. It even holds the pretty heavy DIY canvas backdrop my wife made, that was quite a process in itself.

I bought the Impact large roll support from B&H as it came with 2 heavy duty 13.5 foot light stands and was on sale. The crossmember works with any 5/8 spud so I usually use 6 or 9 foot stands.

B&H ships backgrounds Fedex ground for a fee now. Nice to see competition.

I've bought paper backdrop rolls from Amazon for years and not once have I received a damaged roll.
