Our new world standard AV-Drop Modular Backdrop Modular system creates the highest quality Step and Repeats available. This totally modular system can create structures of virtually any height or width, and our printing facilities offer the highest quality, state of the art dye-sublimation and latex print options.
Drape Kings exclusively uses AV Drop Modular Backdrop Frames to build broadcast quality Step & Repeats that can be used both indoors and out. AV Drop requires NO TOOLS. All frames are Velcro wrapped with Seamless Grand Format Dye Sublimation or UV Prints. Everything is custom sewn and finished in our workshop to ensure quick, easy and precise on-site setup.
By using dye sub sewn prints and Drape Kings exclusive AV Drop Frames, the entire system can be packed up and reassembled multiple times and is easily shipped around the country. Gone are the bulky wooden theatrical flats that are cumbersome to install, ship and store. Also gone are the fabric prints being stapled onto the wooden frames. With Drape Kings Step & Repeat system, this is no longer an issue.
Our modular aluminum framing system offers the highest quality solution for Branded Backdrops. Rock solid modular framing is quickly covered in a Velcroed blackout material which creates the base layer. The seamless printed graphic is then placed around the blackout material creating a taut and much more aesthetically pleasing banner than older traditional foam board step & repeats that have visible seams every few feet.
Dye-sublimation printing is a digital printing technology using full color artwork that works with polyester and polymer-coated substrates. Also referred to as digital sublimation, the process is commonly used for decorating apparel, signs and banners.
Traditionally, dye sub has been known for its rich, vivid colors; high-resolution, photorealistic reproduction capabilities, and extreme durability. Using sublimation of dyes is a different process to printing with inks on either other digital or analogue presses. The process sublimates the dye and permanently bonds inside the fibers of the textile. This gives a high-resolution, permanent coloration that is long lasting, and will not peel, crack or fade over time.
