How to Hang Seamless Paper

Seamless paper is typically hung on a backdrop stand or other mounting device. The paper is wound around a thick cardboard tube, made for sliding a crossbar through to hold evenly across. 

Use Clamps to Hold the Paper in Place

You will need to use a few pony clamps or "A-Clamps" to secure your paper background to the stand. Because of the weight of the roll, it may start to unravel further than you need if it is not secured. Secure a clamp to the top of both ends of a roll to keep it in place and secure. Clamps are an inexpensive tool that can be found at most hardware store.

Don't Have a Backdrop Stand? No Problem!

An alternative we’ve seen to hanging the roll on a stand is to first lay the roll on the ground, and pull up the paper as high as you’ll need it and tape it to the wall.

TIP: Find an Assistant for 107" Rolls

When handling 9 foot wide rolls, having an extra pair of hands can be very helpful in sliding your backdrop onto a support system, clamping, and rolling it back up evenly.
