Achieve Your Banner Vision with Options Ranging from Traditional to Step & Repeat
Banners are lauded for their uncomplicated yet impactful nature. While most people have a solid understanding of what constitutes a banner, what they may not realize is just how detailed and specific you can get with their design. Now we’ll discuss some of the different types of banners, including the step and repeat.
As discussed, banners are a common tool that event coordinators and businesses will use for temporary purposes. You can use just about any type of banner in a temporary setting; however, the step-and-repeat is decidedly a top contender in this specific realm.
What is a step and repeat banner? Events and photo opportunities go hand in hand, which is why you’ll often encounter a banner with a specific backdrop where people can take photos. Step and repeat banners consist of large backdrops, designated almost exclusively for photo ops as they project imagery and text relevant to the event. These banners can also be retractably structured, making them easy to assemble and pack away.
Why are they called step and repeat banners? The meaning behind the step and repeat is actually very straightforward. Step and repeat refers to the process of creating a layout where multiple images are repeated several times over. In most cases, this pattern is created in a way that is uniform, meaning it follows a repeating, mirrored, layout. Step and repeat banners are ideal for events and advertising because photographers can capture both the person and the text or imagery that appears on the banner.
What type of events feature step and repeat banners? Frankly, a step and repeat banner can appear just about anywhere. However, due to their structure and intended purpose, they are often present at sponsored events. A branded step and repeat can easily showcase information like who is hosting the event, who is sponsoring the event, and any other relevant logos or text.
Red carpet events, like exclusive parties, grand openings, and movie premiers, often opt for step and repeat banners. This is because step and repeat banners require minimal setup, are reasonably priced, and can convey important information about the event. For instance, banners can indicate who is throwing the event, who is sponsoring the event, and a host of images and logos.
Our graphics team can help walk you through the process, crafting a step and repeating banner that is perfectly rendered for your event. With an easy setup process, custom backdrops, and a low price tag, you can get a lot out of your monetary investment thanks to the increase in exposure that this type of banner promotes.
