About EZ Backdrops
Born in the trenches; after years of shipping and /or lugging my booth set-up materials to trade shows in trains, planes and automobiles, it was time for a "new mousetrap". When I had to ship them, I became frustrated with never really knowing where they were, when they would arrive, or worse - would they arrive! My 10 x 10 exhibit space without a display provided no significant "sales time" with "prospects"! Set-up and tear-down were cumbersome.
Now there's EZ Backdrops.
This is the only backdrop system designed and engineered to be truly "EZ"!
Our product is manufactured from a superior high density, fire retardant, wrinkle resistant fabric, with ALL colors infused through a fabric dye process. No need to carry poles or any framework. The EZ Backdrops is designed to use the poles provided in your standard booth.
This is not your traditional inkjet print on fabric process. This is a process where the colors are infused into the fabric producing eye-popping graphics, ensuring your
EZ Backdrop will continue to look brand new show after show.
This process also makes maintenance a snap...
If needed, EZ Backdrops are washable, just like any other fine garment. Our light weight design, (less than 5 pounds), allows you to arrive at the show with your EZ Backdrop in your briefcase!
Then, all you need to do is replace the standard generic tradeshow drapes, with YOUR eye-popping full color, 9' x 8', 1 piece, seamless EZ Backdrop in minutes! Once the show is over, your EZ Backdrop easily folds to fit back in your briefcase and you're done!
