HOW TO ORDER - PROP GRAPHICS

Props - Printed Prop Graphics

Immerse your audience into the production’s setting with custom printed props in any size.

Step-by-Step Ordering Process:

1. Browse Our Catalog Props
   Explore our extensive collection of pre-designed props. These designs are ready to go, and you can order them as-is for the fastest delivery.
   
   

2. Customize Any Catalog Props (Optional)
   If you'd like to make small modifications, such as changing the color, our team can assist. Modifications to catalog designs are quick and affordable.
   
   

3. Opt for New Custom Prop Designs (Optional)
   We can work with you on fully original custom prop designs to make the best impact for your show. Our design team is here to create something unique that meets your vision and fits your budget. There are one-time art fees that vary in cost (added to final invoice) depending on your requests for the designs. To start this process, we recommend that you compile some visual references in a folder for your art designer to guide them towards what you are hoping for in your custom design. These can include links to images online, napkin sketches, written detailed descriptions, anything you want your artist to reference as they create your custom design for approval.
   
   

4. Choose your Prop Material
   Each of our prop materials have unique benefits that you’ll want to consider for your intended use. Indoor marching ensembles frequently choose 9oz vinyl prop material for its bold print quality and its affordability.
   Outdoor ensembles using props must take the possibility of wind into consideration. Solid vinyl prop materials (9oz is most popular) have the best “hiding” quality for performers going behind the props, but the prop frames will need to be secured enough to resist wind if this material is chosen. Wind vents are available for an additional cost. Fabric props give the benefit of helping to prevent glare from sun or stadium lights during performances, which could obscure the audience’s view of the prop designs. Talk to our team about which option is best for you.
   
   

5. Choose your Prop Size (length x width) to fit your frames
   Props can be ordered in almost any custom size (min of 120 sq ft), so our graphics are a perfect fit for your prop frames. If you also need prop frames, let our team know and we can provide options.
   
   

6. Choose you Prop Finishing/Attachment Method
   Prop Graphics come with your complementary choice of finishing:
   – Grommets
   – 6-inch bleed (an added 6-inch border around the outside of your graphics, that you can use to wrap around your prop frames and attach DIY using heavy-duty adhesive velcro)
   – Pole Pockets on top+bottom edges, finished edges on sides * only available on fabric props
   – Finished Edges Only *only available on fabric props
   – No Finishing / Straight Trim * only available on vinyl props
   
   

7. Contact us to Request an Estimate
   Once you have decided on your prop material size, contact our sales team through our website, by email, or by phone to request an official estimate. Review the details shown on the estimate and let your sales representative if any final adjustments are needed.
   
   

8. Review and Approve Prop Designs
   Whether you are getting a catalog design or custom designed props, you will receive an art proof of your props art design from your sales representative via email for approval. Let us know if you have any requests for revisions, or if it is officially approved. Our custom art design fees includes up to 4 total versions of the design (the first version, plus 3 rounds of revisions). After the 4th version, an additional art fee will be required for further revisions. Art design approval must be given in writing.
   
   

9. Payment, 50% Deposit, or School Purchase Order
   We can start production with a 50% deposit, full payment, or valid and signed school district purchase order. For payment methods we accept checks, ACH bank transfers, or credit cards (with a 3% processing fee added for credit card payments). If 50% deposit is paid to start production, the remaining balance is due prior to shipment.
   
   

10. Inspect Props Once Received
    Once received, open and inspect your prop graphics. Confirm they are accurate to what was ordered. Reach out to us right away if anything is not to your satisfaction so we can address any concerns.
