*Biggest brand for backdrops in the sense that it is the most bought brand is Amscan. All Amscan
backdrops are made from thin vinyl. Most common problems for Amscan buyers are: difficulty setting it
up due to creases, delivered folded so there are creases, easily damaged, mistakes will make it unusable.
This bad review is almost in every vinyl backdrop listing there is. At the slim chance that the backdrop
did not have any damage, most buyers use it as wallpaper for their rooms.

*Most bought backdrops are from Animated Movies, and customized ones (sellers are photography
studios/firms).

*Polyester made backdrops is still not that popular. Encountered polyester material at 10th page of the
search results.

*Party scene setters are given good feedback on the quality of the material. Most commend the
polyester material for it is very convenient to use. Convenience include, it’s easy to pack-up (can be
folded unlike other materials), easy to clean, easy to re-setup, no creases (easy to iron).

*Buyers of polyester-made party scene setters almost always reuse the product, putting it in storage to
be used later, or putting it up in their rooms to give it a theme.

*Printing in polyester looks good since it is already commonly used as canvas for painting (it does not
rot).
