Seasonal events often require something more specific than an ordinary backdrop or stock fabric.
A theatre may need two 25-foot lengths printed with a Christmas motif. A hotel may require a winter-themed backdrop for a corporate party. A retailer may want custom fabric for a seasonal display, while an event company may need a branded Halloween or Valentine’s Day installation.
At Equus Fabrics, we provide custom fabric printing for seasonal events, theatrical productions, corporate celebrations, retail displays and commercial installations across Canada.
Clients can supply their own artwork, logo, pattern or scenic design. We can help select the appropriate printable fabric and arrange sewing or finishing when required.
Custom printing allows event professionals to create fabric that matches the exact theme, dimensions and branding of a project.
Seasonal printed fabrics can be used for:
Unlike a standard preprinted backdrop, custom fabric can incorporate the client’s own colours, artwork, logos, photography and design elements.
Christmas productions and holiday events are not always built around standard backdrop sizes.
Custom printing makes it possible to produce Christmas and winter designs based on the actual dimensions of the stage, display or event space.
We can review projects for:
Designs can include snowflakes, winter scenery, ornaments, foliage, architectural settings, repeating Christmas patterns, company logos or completely original artwork.
If you already have a finished design, send us the file for review. If the artwork still requires preparation, graphic-design assistance may be quoted separately.
Custom fabric printing can also be used for Halloween events, fall displays and theatrical productions.
Printed Halloween fabric may be used for stage scenery, haunted attractions, corporate parties, photo booths, retail installations and branded event environments.
The same service can be used throughout the year for:
Event companies and venues can also replace the printed graphic while continuing to use the same frame or display system for different seasonal events.
Corporate seasonal events often need to feel festive without losing the organization’s branding.
Custom-printed fabric can combine seasonal artwork with:
These graphics can be used for corporate holiday parties, employee events, awards ceremonies, product launches, branded photo opportunities and hospitality installations.

The appropriate material depends on how the finished fabric will be displayed.
A practical option for general backdrops, banners, stage graphics and decorative panels requiring a relatively smooth printed surface.
Velvet provides a softer and richer appearance for theatre, luxury events, photography and seasonal displays. Its surface can also help reduce unwanted light reflection.
Printed sheers can be used for layered installations, ceiling treatments and decorative effects involving light.
Stretch materials work well for tensioned frames, fitted displays and shaped event structures.
These materials are useful when the printed backdrop must conceal structures, equipment or lighting behind it.
If you do not know which material to use, tell us what you are creating and how it will be installed. We can recommend an option based on the required appearance, opacity, drape and finishing.

Hotels, theatres, schools, churches, casinos and convention centres may require flame-rating documentation before fabric can be installed.
Selected printable fabrics may be available with documentation showing testing to CAN/ULC-S109 or NFPA 701.
Requirements vary according to the fabric, venue and finished application. Tell us about any flame-retardant requirement before ordering so we can review the available options. Final approval remains with the venue or applicable authority.
Printed fabric can be supplied as yardage or sent to our workroom for finishing.
Available finishing may include:
Finishing requirements should be confirmed before printing because additional fabric may be required for hems, pockets, seams and pattern placement.
For complete temporary backdrop systems, Equus also supplies pipe-and-drape systems in Canada.
Providing complete project information helps us calculate the fabric, review the artwork and determine whether the required schedule is possible.
