FAQS/PrivacyWho is Bad Sass Backdrops, Inc?Bad Sass Backdrops is the Best Friend Team of Kristen Caldwell, Photographer and Terry Cutlip, Graphic Designer and Owner of Sassy Designs, Inc. They have taken all of Sassy Designs digital goodies and have now made them available to be printed on 100% Canvas Backdrops and a Luxurious Silk Textile that is a high quality Polyester that allows for Double Sided Print and is 90% Wrinkle Resistant. They have also teamed up with Heather Green of Heather Green Designs, Jessica Drossin of Jessica Drossin Textures, and Shana Rae of Florabella Collection to offer exclusive designs from each of their collections as well. It is important that we offer an array of designs that cater to every style of photographer. By offering these extensive collections, we feel there is something here for everyone! CANVAS BACKDROPSOur Backdrops are made of the highest quality 100% CANVAS! Too often consumers have been misled by the "Vinyl/Canvas" blend sold by other suppliers. Some "Vinyl/Canvas" blends contain a 'glare' that is not ideal for most shooting situations and it is very flimsy. Our backdrops do NOT contain any 'glare' whatsoever as they are sprayed with a MATTE finish just prior to the curing process. By sending each canvas backdrop through our spray booths, this is just another step that we take to ensure the highest quality canvas backdrop. We stand behind our Glare-FREE product 110%! DOUBLE-SIDED FABRIC BACKDROPSMATTE POLYPAPER BACKDROPSOur high grade Matte Polypaper produces brilliant color and is a sturdy alternative to our premium Canvas. It is water, tear, and scratch-resistant. All Polypaper Backdrops are printed on one side and will be left with 4” of unprinted material at the top to allow for clamping.

How do I hang my Canvas and Polypaper Fabric backdrop?
Each CANVAS Backdrop is left with an additional 4” of non-printed canvas material at the top that will allow you to clamp your backdrop to your backdrop stand, put in your own grommets, sew your own rod pocket, add velcro or secure to your own hanging system. Get creative! All Split and Tri Split Canvas Backdrops will be left with an additional 4” of non-printed material at both ends.
Are you looking for a high quality backdrop stand and clamps? We recommend the following: Is my Canvas Backdrop Sprayed with a Sealant?Unlike other backdrop suppliers, EVERY backdrop we sell goes through a spray booth and is sprayed with the highest quality matte sealant. Our backdrops are then sent to a temperature controlled warming room where the finish is cured for at least 24 hours. This finish acts as a UV protector as well as a water resistant barrier. Should your backdrop become dirty or soiled, it is recommended that it be cleaned with warm water and air dried. Because of the sealant our backdrops are sprayed with, you will not lose any ink, color or damage to the backdrop. There is absolutely NO GLARE on our backdrops! This is the extra step in our process that guarantees you are purchasing the absolute BEST backdrop for your hard earned money! How should I care for my Canvas and Polypaper Backdrop?When not in use, you can leave your backdrop hanging or roll it back up and store it in the tube it was shipped in, or the like, making sure neither end is crushed and free from possible wrinkling. It is imperative that when you roll your backdrop up that it is a nice “round” roll and not "oval". We even suggest laying your backdrop flat, take the tube it was shipped in and lay on top of backdrop at one end and roll up backdrop around the shipping tube and secure with rubber bands at either end. This will ensure a nice even round roll up of your backdrop so when used again, it unrolls nice and flat and hangs straight. NEVER fold your backdrop. Should you wrinkle your backdrop, we recommend steaming from the backside at a low setting or dampening with warm water and leaving it to hang and air dry. It is important to recognize that care should always be given. Should your backdrop become dirty or soiled, it is recommended that it be cleaned with warm water and air dry. NEVER use any cleaners, chemicals, or Mr. Clean Magic Erasers. Our backdrops are an investment, an investment that will last a photographer nearly a lifetime if taken care of properly. We use the highest quality materials, inks and sealant to ensure the longevity of your backdrop. How should I care for my Fabric Backdrop?Upon receiving your fabric backdrop, we do recommend placing it in the dryer on a low heat setting with a fabric softener sheet for approximately 20 minutes to release the hard folds from shipping. Once this is done, your backdrop will be ready to use and will then maintain it's 90% wrinkle resistance. Our fabric backdrops can be cleaned by placing them in your household washing machine in cold water only, on a gentle cycle using Woolite. They can then be placed in your household dryer on a low setting to dry. The fabric backdrops can also be dry cleaned. If needed, our fabric can also be ironed or steamed. When not in use, they can be folded up and set aside or hung on hangers. Can you use our Canvas Backdrops for Cake Smashes?In most cases, yes our canvas backdrops can be used for cake smashes and clean up easily by using dry paper towels to wipe up excess and then a sponge lightly dampened with warm water and left to air dry. We must warn that there have been a couple reported cases where the dye in the frosting has left a faint hue/staining to the backdrop/flooring. While our canvas materials are of the highest quality, we suggest using a piece of clear plexiglass that is cut to size to lay over the backdrop/flooring which will help to preserve the longevity of your backdrop and prevent it from being stained by dyes used in some frosting. Variances in Monitors When Viewing our PatternsIt is important to remember that there are variances in monitors therefore there may be color differences when viewing our patterns. Monitor brightness along with contrast will also vary and can also play a role when viewing designs. When viewing a backdrop pattern that has example photos, please consider that the photographer more than likely used an image editing software. This of course may increase or decrease color hues to the backdrop being used in the photo. Many of our patterns were created with the use of textures/overlays and/or vignettes. These textures/overlays and/or vignettes are of various kinds ranging from brushed artist strokes to faint wording. We suggest that you click on the thumbnail of each pattern to view it larger. Most textures used are not overly obtrusive and for the most part will not be overly prominent when photographed. Our keywords are used to briefly describe our designs and patters and are not meant to be taken literally. Again, there may be slight hues to some patterns that may be viewed differently due to monitor differences. ReturnsIt is important to inspect your backdrop upon delivery. If your backdrop was incorrectly printed or arrives with a defect, please notify us within 7 days of delivery. We are human and mistakes do happen. We will not however, accept returns because a customer chooses the wrong pattern and decides after receiving the backdrop they would like a different pattern. Nor will we accept returns due to a customer choosing the wrong size backdrop. Our sizes are clearly listed on the PRICING page and in the pull down menu of each listing. These backdrops are custom items and are printed as each order is placed. We do not stock inventory of our backdrops. ALL SALES ARE FINAL. Are Gift Certificates Available?
