We offer a Seamless Paper Chip Chart for purchase to ensure you order the best color for your upcoming project.

We do not currently accept any custom color, print or size requests for paper. Please see questions about how to custom cut your roll at home.

Our paper is custom made using dyes uniquely for Savage distribution. Therefore our backdrops are not made to exactly match specific color systems, like Pantone or RGB values. We do our best to visually represent all 65 shades on the website and we do provide approximate RGB values, but pictures may vary slightly from the actual product. We recommend ordering a Seamless Paper Color Chart to receive small samples of each paper, if you are looking for a very specific shade for an upcoming project.

We recommend storing your backdrop roll vertically to avoid sagging of the inner cardboard core if left hanging for long periods of time. Looking for storage options? Check out our Storage Clip or 53″ Paper Floor Display.

We recommend purchasing our Seamless Paper Backdrop Accessory Kit, which includes the essentials: clamps and gaffer tape. We also recommend purchasing a storage system like our Seamless Paper Storage Clip or the 53″ Seamless Paper Display Stand.

While our seamless paper is designed and meant to be torn off at the end when dirty, reducing clean up efforts, rest assured it is a durable and thick paper material. When using care working with the paper, a roll can last in good condition for years. Paper density: 145 GSM

We recommend hanging seamless paper from a backdrop stand. Because the paper is wound to a cardboard tube, it is easy to slide any standard crossbar through the inner core for an even hang. Hanging the 107″ wide seamless paper rolls can be difficult to do alone, so be sure to bring an extra set of hands to hang properly and efficiently from the stand. If hanging from a backdrop stand, secure the seamless paper in place by clamping the top two ends of the roll once you have swept out the paper to the desired length. This will prevent the paper from unraveling further. If you do not have a backdrop stand, you can cut off as much paper as you need to tape to the wall!

For more information on how to hang seamless paper check out this blog: https://savageuniversal.com/blog/how-to-hang-seamless-paper-backgrounds/

If utilizing a wall mount hanging system, an aluminum or PVC core insert is recommended to maintain cardboard core structure and decrease sagging over time. The core insert must fit snugly inside the 2.125″ inner core diameter.

The standard use of seamless paper is rolling the paper under the roll. This makes it easier for you to secure your paper down with tape. Our paper is also dyed on that front side, so the color may be lighter if rolled out on the back.

We recommend seamless paper to be used on a flat, hard surface. If seamless paper is rolled out onto carpet, the paper can crinkle and tear when walked on.

When sweeping the paper out onto the floor for full body portraits, we recommend placing a few strips of gaffer tape along the edges to prevent it from curling. You can also use the Savage Background Leader Bar to weight the seamless paper down if you are not extending the paper onto the floor.

It’s easy to cut your own seamless paper roll using a saw and a straight-edge. Using a mitre box from hardware stores, you can ensure an even, straight cut.

Absolutely! Get creative with your seamless paper by using acrylic paint!

Savage Seamless Paper has three different white shades available: #01 Super White, #66 Pure White and #50 White.

Super White contains UV brighteners and is popularly used for product photography. Choose Super White to easily achieve an absolute white color using backlights.
Pure White is a great all-around white with a neutral tone. This color is great for anything from headshots and portraits to product photos. Works well with or without backlights.
White is a much warmer white tone compared to Super White and Pure White, and tends to complement skin tones well. This is ideal for headshots or portraits where absolute white is not needed as it delivers more of an “off-white” look.

We are committed to producing products that are eco-friendly. Our paper products utilize on average 75% recycled fiber.

Yes! Savage Seamless Paper is 100% recyclable!

When possible, we recommend purchasing this size locally.  Because the dimensions exceed the maximums allowed by FedEx and UPS, they must ship by LTL truck, which is very expensive. A full listing of local retailers by zip code can be found in our Store Locator.

Our 140″ W x 35yd L seamless paper is available in four staple colors:Black, Super White, Tech Green and Storm Gray.

Our Seamless Paper is not flame retardant.

Paper and vinyl are both popular backgrounds that produce a professional and seamless look, but differ in several ways regarding ideal use and lifespan. Check out our blog that discusses the two materials.
Paper and muslin both offer beautiful backdrop options in an array of colors for studio photography, but also have key differences. Check out this article for an in-depth comparison.

Our Focus Gray Seamless Paper is our closest color to neutral gray. Please note that while Focus Gray does not have a temperature/color cast and can be useful when adjusting your image for white balance, it is brighter than a “medium gray” or 18% gray card often used for determining image exposure. The Savage Seamless Paper closest to 18% reflectivity is Dove Gray, however it does have a warm color cast and should not be used as a white-balance reference.

If you are hanging these backdrops one at a time, we recommend our 12′ x 12′ Background Stand, which can accommodate larger backgrounds with ease.

53″: 1 person
86″ 1-2 people wide
107″: 3-4 people wide
140″: up to 5 people wide

Color Banding occurs when there aren’t enough tones available in the bit depth of an image to create a seamless transition two graduating areas of color, brightness and/or saturation.  Banding is often seen in images with a bright sky and can also occur with any smooth background such as with seamless paper or solid vinyl. Most frequently, the problem is seen in 8 bit images and in files that have been too heavily edited or compressed. When uploading to some sites on the internet that use strong compression methods, banding can occur in the converted image on the receiving end and that can be difficult to prevent. Here are some tips to avoid and fix:

In camera
Set your image quality to the highest available setting
Set your camera’s color space to AdobeRGB
Shoot in RAW file format (vs. JPEG)

On the computer
Edit in 16 bits per channel mode
Perform all post-processing in a PSD or TIFF file format before converting the final version to sRGB and JPEG format (which compresses the image data)

Here are two suggested approaches to correcting banding in Photoshop:

1) Blur method (effective on strong banding)
Work in 16 bit mode:  Image \ Mode \ 16 bits/Channel
Copy the background layer: CTRL/CMD – J
Make the layer copy into a Smart Object (so you can modify as desired): Filter \ convert for smart filter
Add a surface blur: Filter \ blur \ surface blur (won’t affect detailed areas as strongly as other blur modes)
Zoom into an area where banding is visible in the preview window
Adjust the radus and threshold values to the lowest values that resolve the banding. Threshold will have the most impact.
Add a black layer mask. Layer \ Layer Mask \ Hide All
Select the Brush tool. [B] Select a soft brush and set the opacity to 50%
Paint with white on the mask over the areas affected by banding.

2) Noise method (effective on mild banding)
Work in 16 bit mode: Image \ Mode \ 16 bits/Channel
Create a new 50% gray fill layer – Layer \ New \ Layer… then  Edit \ Fill… in “contents” field, select 50% gray
Change the layer blend mode to “Soft Light”
Add noise: Noise \ add noise
Choose Uniform, and tic the box for “Monochromatic”
Adjust the level until you see improvement
Add a black layer mask. Layer \ Layer Mask \ Hide All
Select the Brush tool. [B] Select a soft brush and set the opacity to 50%
Paint with white on the mask over the areas affected by banding.
