What Is a Step and Repeat Banner?
A step and repeat banner is a backdrop covered with a repeating pattern of logos or graphics. You've seen them at red carpet events, award shows, press conferences, and brand activations.
Why Use a Step and Repeat?

- Professional atmosphere: Instantly elevates any event
- Shareable content: Guests love posting their red carpet moments
- Sponsor visibility: Multiple logos can share the backdrop space

Materials for Step and Repeat Banners
Vinyl
Durable and vibrant. Best for outdoor events. Use matte finish to minimize flash glare.
Fabric (Recommended for Photos)
The preferred choice: no glare from camera flash, wrinkle-resistant, lightweight, and machine washable.
Designing Your Step and Repeat
Standard logo size is 8-12 inches wide. Logos are arranged in a staggered grid pattern (like a checkerboard) so at least one complete logo appears behind each person.
