When I say “Step and Repeat”, you say? It’s not quite pipe and drape, but it’s close. 

We’ve had a few questions recently regarding step-and-repeats, or “banner stand-ups” (or a combination of the two!). What are these, and how can Drape Kings help? 

What is a Step and Repeat? As referenced on the dictionary.com website: 

…noting or pertaining to a process by which successive photo-offset plates are produced automatically or semiautomatically with great precision: used esp. in making plates for multicolor printing…

While not much help when it comes to drape or banners, the idea is the same: There is a piece of fabric that is hung on hardware that acts as a backdrop for photographers during an event photo shoot. We’ve all seen it – a person enters the venue, steps up to a platform with a fabric backdrop (with or without advertisements), is photographed, then moves on. The process is repeated for the next entrant. Step, and repeat. 

How can Drape Kings help? It’s likely you have the banner ready (if not, we can help!), so you’ll need the hardware to hang it. No problem, here’s what we’ll need to provide the right hardware for your setup: 

• The width of the banner (This will help us pick the right size horizontal for your setup)
• The height of the banner (This will help us pick the right size uprights for your setup)
• Is there a pole pocket in the banner? (This pocket is normally found in the back, at the top/bottom of the banner, allowing the it to hang on a horizontal)
