How to Store Your BackgroundTown Backdrops

1. Use Boxes or Containers

For storing multiple backdrops, especially seasonal ones, large containers are a practical solution. Group similar backdrops together and use sturdy boxes to prevent damage. You can also store backdrops individually and label each box with a picture of the backdrop inside and write the size to make identification easy and efficient. 

Pros:

• Provides protection from dust and physical damage
• Allows for easy organization and clear identifiication

Cons:

• May need a lot of storage space if you have many backdrops

2. Storage Bags

Storage bags are ideal for protecting individual backdrops from dust and dirt. Place the bagged backdrops on shelves for easy access and organization. This method is particularly useful for backdrops you need to keep separate.

Pros:

• You can easliy store backdrops seperately
• Protects individual backdrops from dust and dirt
• Effecient use of shelf space

Cons:

• Bags may offer less physical damage protection than boxes
• Shelves can become cluttered if not managed properly

3. Hanger Rack

Hanging backdrops on a rack is a versatile and space-saving option. Use a movable rack for flexibility or a fixed rack attached to a wall. For backdrops not in use for an extended period, consider storing them in a garment bag on the hanger for added protection.

Pros:

• Conserves floor space
• Easy access and organization
• Garment bags provide extra protection for long-term storage

Cons:

• May require installation of a rack
• Need space to store a rack
