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, 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!

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.

Savage Seamless Background Paper is a dyed product, therefore does not have exact CMYK/RGB/Pantone matches. You can find similar matches to each color on its individual product page under the tab titled “Specs”.

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.

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.
