Ordering a personalized backdrop is easier when you know the display size, the artwork you want to use and your event deadline. Whether you are planning a birthday, wedding, graduation or business event, a few details help turn an idea into an approved print layout.
YardSignPrint offers custom printed Coroplast event displays. Start with the photo backdrop collection to compare products and select the display that fits your event.
1. Choose the Display Before the Artwork Layout
Think about where the backdrop will stand and what it needs to do. Is it an entrance display, a portrait feature, a setting behind a table or part of a larger themed arrangement? Measure the available height and floor space before selecting a size.
For the standard custom photo backdrop, the 5–8 ft size options refer to height and a support stand is included. The separate photo arch backdrop offers an arched portrait display. Ask for exact finished dimensions if width or venue access is a concern.
2. Prepare Your Photo, Text or Artwork
Use your original photo or artwork file where possible. Include the exact wording, names, date and any requested colours. If the display uses a business logo, send the best original logo file available rather than a screenshot from your website.
A reference image can help explain the style you want, but tell us which parts matter: the colours, layout, shape or wording. We can review a lower-quality image and work on improvements where possible; some files may need an alternative image or additional design work.
3. Check the Product Options and Submit Your Details
Choose the listed size and complete the required customization fields. The custom photo backdrop product has an artwork upload field, so prepare your file before adding it to your cart.
If a field is unclear, an upload is rejected or you need help selecting a product, contact us with the product link, requested size, event date and delivery postal or ZIP code. Avoid guessing an option whose meaning is unclear.
4. Review and Approve the Mockup
Check the spelling, date, image selection, cropping, layout and agreed size carefully. If something needs changing, request the correction before giving final approval. Simple personalization is free; a dedicated custom design or substantial redesign has a separate fee confirmed before that work begins.
Your production timeline begins after the final mockup is approved, not when the first photo or message is received.
5. Allow Separate Time for Production and Shipping
Backdrop production takes 3 business days after final approval. Typical shipping transit is 2–4 business days in Canada or 3–6 business days to the United States. Customs processing can extend US delivery, so these figures should not be treated as guaranteed event-arrival dates.
For an approaching event, confirm timing before placing the order. Allow room for design discussion and revisions as well as production and transit.
