Let’s be real: Event planning is chaotic enough without worrying about a backdrop that lets you down. Whether it’s a trade show where you’re fighting for attention, a product launch that needs to pop, or a corporate gathering that screams “professional,” a good step and repeat isn’t just decor—it’s your brand’s silent hype person. For businesses in Europe and the US hunting for something reliable, vibrant, and actually tailored to them, Tongjie Printing Products Co., Ltd. (Shanghai) brings over 20 years of custom printing know-how to make backdrops that match your brand’s vibe.

Let’s Cut to the Chase: Why Tongjie’s Step and Repeats Win
At Tongjie, we don’t just “print backdrops”—we fix the little (and big) headaches that come with event displays. Our own factory is packed with top-tier printing gear, so every line of your logo, every shade of your brand color, gets reproduced like it’s fresh from your design file. No blurriness, no “close enough”—we’re for brands that refuse to let their graphics look “meh.”
And our sales team? They’re not here to pitch jargon—they’re here to listen. Want a bold, in-your-face design for a trade show booth that stops foot traffic? Or a sleek, low-key look for a corporate event? We’ll hash out the details with you, no matter how specific (yes, even that tiny pattern you swear makes the design work). Your idea, our job to turn it into something you’ll be proud to hang up.
The Quality That Stands Out (And Doesn’t Quit After One Use)
What makes our step and repeats different? Let’s start with the fact that they’re built to survive event season chaos.
Think about it: Hauling backdrops to venues, setting them up and taking them down, shoving them in storage—most displays would fade or fray after a few rounds. Ours? They keep their color sharp, indoors or out, so your brand looks consistent even if you’re using the same backdrop for three shows in a month. No “wait, why does the logo look dull now?” panics here.
Plus, we customize everything. Single logo? Repeating pattern? A graphic that tells your brand’s story (yes, even that inside joke your team loves)? Our printing process catches every detail. It’s why European and American brands keep coming back—they want displays that feel like theirs, not a generic template.
Large Orders? Tight Deadlines? We’ve Got This (No Stress Required)
We get it: Event dates don’t wait. You might need 50 backdrops for a multi-city campaign, or a last-minute order because someone forgot to hit “submit” earlier. Either way, we don’t make you choose between speed and quality.
Our production team has been handling rush jobs and big batches for years—we know how to keep up without cutting corners. You won’t hear “sorry, we can’t make that date” or get a backdrop that looks like it was thrown together. We deliver on time, every time, so you can focus on the million other things on your event to-do list.

Step and Repeats vs. Other Displays: Let’s Be Honest About the Pros
Pop up banners and tension fabric banners have their places—don’t get us wrong. But if you want something light, flexible, and easy to haul? Our step and repeats are the clear winner. Here’s why, no fluff:
Setup & Portability: No “Heavy Lifting” Headaches
Our step and repeats are the lightest of the three—seriously, one person can carry them to the venue without breaking a sweat. They unfold fast, too—no fancy tools, just “unpack and go.”
Pop up banners ? Let’s keep it real: Their frames are heavy. Like, “you’ll probably need a buddy to load them into your car” heavy. Carrying them from the parking lot to your booth? Not a fun solo task. They’re great for big, formal events—think galas or large conferences where “sturdy and substantial” is the vibe—but they’re a hassle if you’re moving light or setting up alone.
Tension fabric banners are better on weight—they use round tube pieces you snap together, so they’re not a backbreaker. But even then? They can’t touch our step and repeats for lightness. And that “snap-together” part? It’s not hard, but it’s an extra step our skips entirely.
Durability: Sturdy Without the Bulk
Our step and repeats prove “lightweight” doesn’t mean “flimsy.” They hold up to repeated setup/teardown and transport—no dents, no loose parts, just consistent sturdiness.
Pop up banners are tough, sure—their heavy frames mean they stay put once set up—but that weight is a double-edged sword. Bump them too hard during transport, and you might end up with a bent frame (not ideal mid-event).
Tension fabric banners ? Their tube frames are lightweight, but they’re not built for frequent rough-and-tumble use. Drop a tube or yank the fabric too hard, and you could be stuck with a wobbly display or a torn banner.
Storage: Compact, No “Closet Hog” Issues
Our step and repeats fold down to a tiny size—tuck them in a closet, under a desk, or even a large tote bag. No need to clear out a whole shelf.
Pop up banners ? Their heavy frames take up space. You’ll need a dedicated storage spot—maybe even a rolling cart—to keep them from cluttering your office. Not a big deal if you have room, but a nightmare if you’re short on storage.
Tension fabric banners fold up small too, but their fabric can crease easily if you stuff them with other gear. Our step and repeats? No creases, no extra care—just fold and store.
Graphics: Flat, Sharp, No “Wrinkled Mess” Vibes
All three can look good, but our step and repeats win for consistency. Their rigid structure keeps graphics flat and aligned—no sagging, no wrinkling, even if the event runs all day.
Pop up banners can sag a little if their fabric isn’t pulled tight enough—annoying if you’re trying to look polished. Tension fabric banners ? Their thin fabric wrinkles easily, and once those creases set, they’re hard to iron out. Nothing kills a professional look like a logo that’s half-wrinkled.
