4.9from 7,200+ reviews
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!
Simon YNZ
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!

Which custom fabric printing option suits your project?

Every product in this range is made to order with dye-sublimation, which bonds the ink into the fabric rather than leaving it on the surface. The quickest way to narrow your choice is to start with where the print will hang and what it has to do there.

Outdoor, exposed and windy sites

  • Airmesh Fabric Banner Printing has an open weave that lets wind pass through, which makes it the safer pick for fences, scaffolding and open fields.
  • Scaffolding Banner is made for building sites, hoardings and site wraps where your branding or project details need to be seen from the street.
  • Heavy-Duty Polyester & Oxford Fabric Printing suits banners that will be handled, moved and put up again and again.

Light, layering and see-through effects

Ultra Sheer Fabric Backdrop Printing lets light through for window graphics, layered stage sets and soft wedding or event backdrops. If you need the opposite, Duplex Blockout Fabric Printing is designed for opacity, so lights, windows and clutter behind the print stay out of sight.

Premium looks and everyday indoor graphics

Duplex Satin Fabric Printing gives a sheen that suits galas, launches and VIP areas. For exhibition stand graphics, conference walls and retail displays, Duplex Knitted Polyester, Duplex Oxford and Polyester Taffeta cover most indoor needs. Customized Truss Banners are made for stage and expo truss frames.

What size fabric banner do you need?

Size is where many orders go wrong, so measure the space before you finalise the design. For a trade show booth or expo stand, check the back wall width and the height the venue allows. For scaffolding, measure the bays or the run of fence you want to cover, and note where ties and fixing points sit.

Sizes for scaffold and truss banners

The Scaffolding Banner (complete from NZD 99) and Customized Truss Banners (complete from NZD 78) share the same size options: 3m W x 0.5m H, 6m W x 0.5m H, 9m W x 1m H, 12m W x 1.5m H, 3m W x 2m H, 6m W x 2m H, 3m W x 2.5m H, 6m W x 2.5m H, 9m W x 2.5m H, 3m W x 3m H, 4.5m W x 3m H, 6m W x 3m H, 9m W x 3m H, 12m W x 3m H, 15m W x 3m H and Custom Size.

Tips for choosing

  • Short, wide sizes such as 6m W x 0.5m H work well as header strips above a stage or along a fence line.
  • Taller sizes such as 3m W x 3m H suit a single scaffold bay or a backdrop behind speakers.
  • If your space does not match a standard size, choose Custom Size and give the exact width and height.
  • The other fabrics in this collection list their own size options on each product page.

Keep key text and logos away from any edges that will wrap around a frame or be tied to scaffolding.

How can you be sure the print will turn out as planned?

Most buyers worry about the same things: colours shifting, low-resolution artwork, or a banner arriving in the wrong size. The ordering process for custom fabric printing is set up to catch those problems before anything is produced.

  1. Choose your fabric and size, or select Custom Size.
  2. Send your artwork along with your event or install date.
  3. Request a free 2D mockup to see your design laid out on the size you chose.
  4. Check the proof carefully. Nothing prints until you approve it.
  5. Your fabric is printed with dye-sublimation and finished ready to hang.

Why sign-off matters

Because every piece is custom printed, graphics cannot be returned once you have approved the proof, so treat sign-off as your final check on spelling, sizes and contact details. If a print error is on our side, it is reprinted free. Artwork specs, bleed and colour matching are covered in our general FAQs.

Is fabric printing near me faster than ordering online?

Not always. Searching for fabric printing NZ will turn up local shops alongside specialist suppliers, and a local shop can be handy for small jobs. Many, though, do not produce large-format fabric for scaffolding, truss or exhibition stand graphics. With online fabric printing services, you can compare fabrics, sizes and complete prices in one place and get a proof without leaving the office.

Planning around your city and date

  • Fabric printing Auckland: expo and conference calendars fill fast, so request your mockup as soon as your stand is booked.
  • Fabric printing Wellington: for exposed waterfront or hillside sites, consider airmesh and confirm sizes early.
  • Fabric printing Christchurch: scaffold banners can be planned alongside a construction schedule so they are ready when the scaffolding goes up.
  • Elsewhere in NZ: the same process applies, whether you are in a regional centre or a smaller town.

The production lead time is shown on each product page. Work back from your event date, allow time to review and approve your proof, and include your date when you request the mockup.

What else is worth checking before you order?

Before you place an order for custom fabric banners NZ-wide, run through these final points so nothing catches you out.

Reuse and replacement graphics

If you already own a frame, replacement graphics can be ordered for it, which is useful after a rebrand or when a banner is worn. Leave dated details such as event years off graphics you plan to reuse.

Sustainability

Ask about PVC-free fabric options such as 600D eco polyester if your venue or client has sustainability goals.

Finishing

Finishing varies by product, so check each product page to see how the fabric is prepared for hanging, tying or fitting to a frame.

Experience behind the print

Backdropsource has made custom printed fabric displays since 2004, from media walls and SEG lightboxes to flags and tents. That background in fabric printing New Zealand businesses rely on means you can get practical advice on custom fabric printing NZ projects of every kind, from a single header strip to a full scaffold run.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does custom fabric printing cost? +
The cost depends on the fabric and size you choose. Complete starting prices include Customized Truss Banners from NZD 78, Scaffolding Banner from NZD 99, Duplex Knitted Polyester Fabric Printing from NZD 118, Ultra Sheer Fabric Backdrop Printing from NZD 122 and Duplex Blockout Fabric Printing from NZD 212. Larger sizes cost more, and the exact price for your selected option is shown on each product page.
What is the difference between a truss banner and a scaffolding banner? +
The main difference is the structure the banner is made for. Customized Truss Banners suit stage and expo truss frames, while the Scaffolding Banner is designed for building sites, hoardings and construction fences. Both offer the same size options, including Custom Size. Truss banners start from NZD 78 complete and scaffolding banners from NZD 99 complete, so choose based on where the banner will hang.
When should I choose ultra sheer fabric printing? +
Choose ultra sheer fabric printing when you want light to pass through the print. It works well for window graphics, layered stage designs, ceiling features and soft wedding or event backdrops. It is not the right choice if you need to hide what sits behind the banner; blockout fabric is designed for that. Ultra Sheer Fabric Backdrop Printing starts from NZD 122 complete.
Is duplex satin fabric printing worth it for a premium event? +
Duplex satin fabric printing is worth it when guests will see the backdrop up close and the look matters, such as at galas, product launches, weddings or VIP areas. Its sheen gives a more premium finish than standard polyester. It starts from NZD 181 complete. For everyday expo graphics, Duplex Knitted Polyester Fabric Printing from NZD 118 complete may be enough.
Which fabric printing option works best on a building site? +
For most building sites, the Scaffolding Banner is the starting point because its size options match common scaffold and fence runs. It is complete from NZD 99. On exposed or windy sites, Airmesh Fabric Banner Printing, from NZD 129 complete, lets wind pass through the weave. For banners that will be moved and refitted often, consider Heavy-Duty Polyester & Oxford Fabric Printing from NZD 129 complete.
Do you offer fabric printing services in Christchurch and Wellington? +
Yes, orders can be placed online for sites and events anywhere in New Zealand, including Christchurch, Wellington and regional towns, and the same process applies to fabric printing Auckland orders. The production lead time is shown on each product page. To keep your project on track, include your event or install date when you request your free 2D mockup and approve the proof promptly once you have checked it.
Can I order a fabric print in a custom size? +
Yes, the Scaffolding Banner and Customized Truss Banners both include a Custom Size option for spaces that do not match a standard size. Measure the exact width and height of the area, allowing for fixing points, and enter those measurements when you order. Your free 2D mockup will show the artwork laid out on your custom size before you approve it.
Which fabric printing option is the most affordable to start with? +
In this collection, Customized Truss Banners start from NZD 78 complete, followed by the Scaffolding Banner from NZD 99 complete. The least expensive option is not always the best fit, though. A banner on a windy fence may need airmesh, and a backdrop in front of bright windows may need blockout, so match the fabric to the site first.
Can I reuse a printed fabric banner at future events? +
Yes, many printed fabric banners are reused across several events, especially when the artwork avoids dated details such as event years or one-off offers. If you already own a frame and your branding changes, you can order a replacement graphic instead of a whole new display. For banners that are packed down and refitted often, the heavy-duty polyester and oxford option is worth considering.
