How To Buy Band Scrims For Your Band
More than another piece of band merch, band scrims are a one time investment that will take your shows to the next level!
Here’s why our customers love printing band scrims with us:
- Stage scrims enhance an already stunning backdrop; by placing the scrims closer up to the front of stage, you’ll create a visual that looks like you’ve covered the entire space with your branding.
- Skrims are versatile – good for indoor and outdoor shows
- Band scrims come in pairs! Unlike a stage backdrop, with stage scrims you can position them in numerous ways or distances for maximum effect every show.
- Stage scrims are also affordable – pricing starts at $180 per scrim for 5’x5’s. They’re currently in stock, and we offer free shipping on our scrims.
3 Tips For The Best Band Scrim Designs
- Use bright contrast and colors that pop against each other in your band scrim design. You can use an online tool like this one to find complementary colors that match your brand, but also contrast to give you maximum pop on stage.
- Simplify your design: less is more. Your logo on contrasting, sharp background color will be memorable long after your fans get over their show hangovers!
- Don’t use Canva for band scrim designs. While you can create some good mockups in Canva, the resolution will not be high enough for printing a large banner scrim. Also, the best scrim designs that we see every month are all custom designed for quality creative graphic designers, not AI tools. Need graphic design help? We can help vectorize low quality Canva designs for printing.
What Size Backdrop Or Scrims
Does My Band Need?
After printing countless banners for all types of bands, we have found these recommendations work best:
- SMALL VENUES approx. 150 people: Try two 6’x6’s scrims, or two 8’x8′ scrims. Or, if you prefer a backdrop, an 8’x10′ works well.
- MIDSIZE VENUES approx. 300 people: Go for the 8’x12′ backdrop or 10’x15′. Both will also look great with some additional smaller scrims complimenting the backdrop if you are looking to add more coverage.
- LARGE VENUES approx. 500+ people: Our recommendation is to go as big as your budget will allow. The 15’x20′ and 20’x30′ are a popular size for the larger stages. Get pricing for band backdrops here.
Materials are an important consideration too. You can check out our mesh vs cloth banner comparison to see the pros and cons of each material, and choose the right one for your band. For band looking for cheap band scrims, you can go for our 5’x5’s or 6’x6’s.
Don’t ForgetYour Banner Stand!
Stands are an easy way to display your stage scrims quickly and without any hassle. Our stands are high quality and will last you for years. They can fit up to an 8’x10′ banner so they are a great addition to smaller backdrops or scrims:
- Metal telescopic poles that click in to each other easily for fast set up
- Poles come apart and break down into smaller sizes for storage in a handy travel bag
- Great for travel for touring bands – throw it in the corner of your van and get going, or throw it over your shoulder as you head over to your next venue
- Ideal for bands that need to get on and off the stage quickly – set up the stand with the banner attached before you get on, and two bandmates can quickly position it as you get on stage.
