Which should a church choose?
Indoors, a fabric backdrop: it stands by itself, has no glare on camera and can be washed. Outdoors, a vinyl banner: it handles rain and wind. Sunday Backdrops sells fabric backdrops only.
Does a fabric backdrop cost more than a vinyl banner?
Usually, because it includes a frame. A fabric backdrop with frame and bag starts at $419. After the first order you buy only the print, from $229.
