Excellent print quality. We were so happy with our the Shell scheme Exhibition Graphics we got from BackDrop Source NZ. We were provided tracking details through WhatsApp which was odd, but everything arrived as expected. And the quality of the graphics was very good. We used them at an Expo over the weekend just been and everything was the size and quality we wanted.

Great quality and exceptionally fast delivery Very happy with the result. Our backdrop is light and very portable, and looks excellent on display. Thank you! In the photo it’s just the wall at the back.
Paul DNZ
Easy to assemble and looks great I was pleasantly surprised how easy the backdrop was to put together (and disassemble afterwards) and how good it looked on the night of our event. Made our workshop guests feel like celebrities - all that was missing was the red carpet!

Amazing service and product Super fast team.. helpful on live chat always got back to me within 10 minutes on email about art work.. great price.. their process is very quick and slick ..
Justin L.NZ
Fabulous Service and Product We have ordered new skins for our media wall 3 or 4 times in the past, and have always been happy with the product, which is so easy to use and change out. This time we had a few additional requests; we wanted a double-sided product, had a fairly low-resolution image we wanted up to 3m wide... and of course, we needed it in a hurry! The team were amazing to deal with. The product arrived early, and we were blown away by the absolutely outstanding quality of the image. Thank you so much, we will be customers for life!

What can you use to create a 9m backdrop?

A 9m backdrop has to cover a lot of wall without looking patched together or cheap. This collection gives you three ways to get there, all dye-sublimation printed on fabric for a smooth, matte finish that suits a large trade show booth or exhibition stand.

Non-backlit SEG fabric walls

Six wall-mounted frames that differ only in depth: 20mm, 40mm, 60mm, 80mm, 100mm and 120mm. Each is listed in widths from 1m to 5.5m. The 1m and 1.2m widths come in 2m or 2.3m heights, the 2m width is 2.3m high, and every width from 2.3m to 5.5m is 2.5m high.

Wall-Mounted SEG Light Box

A backlit option for when you want the graphic to glow. Widths run from 0.9m to 3m. Sizes up to 2.4m x 1.8m use an 80mm deep frame, while 2.4m x 2.4m, 3m x 2.4m and 3m x 3m use 120mm.

Expo Craft Backdrop

A custom-shaped media wall for stands that need a distinctive outline rather than a straight rectangle. Check its product page for the current sizes and set-up details.

How do you build a 9m media wall from the listed sizes?

The widest non-backlit fabric wall in this collection is 5.5m and the widest light box is 3m. To build a full 9m run with these frames, you mount two or more sections side by side. The same applies if you started out searching for a 30ft backdrop, because that is roughly the same span.

Combinations that add up to 9m

  • 4.5m + 4.5m fabric walls, both 2.5m high: one central join, symmetrical layout.
  • 5.5m + 3.5m fabric walls, both 2.5m high: a wide hero panel plus a supporting section.
  • 5m + 4m fabric walls, both 2.5m high: a near-even split that leaves room for an off-centre logo.
  • 3m + 3m + 3m fabric walls, both 2.5m high: smaller pieces that are easier to handle and can be reused separately later.
  • Three 3m light boxes, either 2.4m or 3m high, for a fully backlit wall.

Keep the face flush

Choose the same depth and the same height for every section so the frames line up neatly. If you plan to mix a light box with fabric walls, remember that the 3m light boxes are 2.4m or 3m high while the larger fabric walls are 2.5m high.

Which depth suits a 9m wall mounted display?

Depth is how far the frame sits out from the wall. All six non-backlit versions share the same widths and heights, so depth comes down to the look you want, your budget and any rules your venue or organiser sets on how far a display can protrude.

  • 20mm and 40mm: a slim, close-to-the-wall finish and the lowest starting prices.
  • 60mm and 80mm: a middle ground with more visible edge depth.
  • 100mm and 120mm: a deeper profile that reads as more substantial from across a hall or auditorium.

Once you have chosen a depth, open that product and select each section width to see the complete price for every panel in your 9m run.

How do you keep a print this wide sharp and on-brand?

The biggest worry with a wall this size is that the print looks wrinkled, pixelated or off-colour. SEG graphics are tensioned into the frame, which keeps the fabric taut. Careful artwork planning handles the rest.

Plan the artwork across the joins

  • Design the full 9m as one continuous layout, then split it where the sections meet.
  • Keep faces, logos and key text away from the joins so nothing important is cut in half.
  • Use bold colour fields or patterns that carry across sections cleanly.

See it before it prints

Request a free 2D mockup to check how your design sits across each panel. Nothing prints until you approve the artwork, and any print errors are reprinted free. Since 2004, Backdropsource has printed custom fabric displays for stands and stages of every size. For file sizes, bleed and colour settings, see the FAQs below and the main FAQ page.

How do you get a 9m trade show display ready before the show?

With a show date approaching, work backwards from the day you need to install.

  1. Choose your display type: non-backlit SEG fabric wall display, light box or custom-shaped media wall.
  2. Pick a frame depth and the section widths that add up to 9m.
  3. Request a free 2D mockup, including your full dimensions and event date.
  4. Approve the proof. The production lead time is listed on each product page and is often 24 business hours after artwork approval. Your dispatch date is confirmed once you order.
  5. Confirm with your venue how wall-mounted frames can be fixed, then book install time.

Built to be reused

Most frame-based displays are tool-free and ship with a soft carry bag. When your branding changes, you can order replacement graphics for the frames you already own. For a large fabric backdrop NZ teams can rebrand without buying new hardware, that keeps the cost of future events down.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is there a single-panel 9m backdrop, or do I have to join sections? +
For the SEG fabric walls and light boxes in this collection, you join sections, because the widest listed sizes are 5.5m and 3m. Common splits are 4.5m plus 4.5m, or three 3m panels. For the custom-shaped Expo Craft Backdrop, check the product page or send your dimensions to confirm whether your 9m layout is achievable.
How much does a 9m media wall cost? +
The total is the combined price of the sections you choose, so it depends on the type, depth and widths. As starting points, the 20mm Non-Backlit SEG Fabric display is complete from NZD 386 and the Wall-Mounted SEG Light Box is complete from NZD 675. Larger widths cost more, so select each width on the product page and add the prices together, or request a quote.
Can a 9m display be freestanding in an island booth? +
The SEG fabric walls and the light box in this collection are wall-mount displays, so they need a solid wall or hard booth wall to fix to. If your expo stand has no back wall, look at the Expo Craft Backdrop product page for its set-up details, or contact the team with your floor plan before ordering.
How tall is an extra large backdrop in this range? +
Every non-backlit SEG fabric wall from 2.3m to 5.5m wide is 2.5m high, so a 9m run built from those widths stays at a consistent 2.5m. The 3m Wall-Mounted SEG Light Box comes in 2.4m or 3m heights. Check your venue's ceiling and any height limits set by the organiser before choosing.
Is a 30ft backdrop the same as a 9m backdrop? +
They are close but not identical: 30ft is slightly wider than 9m. Sizes in this collection are listed in metres, so plan your wall in metres. Measure the actual space, then choose section widths such as 4.5m plus 4.5m that fit inside it with a little clearance on each side.
Can I mix light boxes and SEG fabric walls in one 9m run? +
Yes, you can combine them, but plan the heights and depths carefully. The 3m light boxes are 2.4m or 3m high, while the larger fabric walls are 2.5m high, and depths may differ too. Send your proposed layout with the mockup request so the team can check how the sections will line up.
Should I design a 9m backdrop as one artwork or one file per section? +
Start with one continuous design covering the full width so the layout flows, then mark where each section joins. Keep logos, faces and text away from those joins. The free 2D mockup shows how the design splits across each panel, so you can adjust it before approving anything for print.
Can I change the graphics on a 9m wall mounted display later? +
Yes. You can order replacement graphics for frames you already own. A replacement print only (no frame) starts from NZD 150 for the Wall-Mounted SEG Light Box and from NZD 641 for the Expo Craft Backdrop. For the non-backlit fabric walls, ask for a replacement graphic quote with your frame sizes.
Do I need venue approval to install a wall-mounted display? +
Usually, yes. Many venues and exhibition organisers set rules on fixing anything to walls and on how far a display can protrude. Confirm the fixing method and the allowed depth before ordering. Those rules may help you choose between a slim 20mm frame and a deeper 120mm profile.
