Orange Peel Backgrounds are a revolutionary background system. Gone are the days of wrinkles, folds, and flat…our backgrounds are peel and stick panels! Adhere to your wall, pink insulation or other, or for optimal flexibility, don’t adhere! Create sets by separating your panels to make staggered walls, corners, or anything else your imagination can come up with. Designed specifically with the small studio in mind, these backgrounds are lightweight, waterproof, and virtually scratch resistant. For even more flexibility and ideas, check out our soon to be released downloadable inspiration book…

Each panel is 42″x 8′:

Two Panel backgrounds are 7′ x 8′

Three Panel backgrounds are 10.5′ x 8′

Orange Peel Backgrounds … a new twist on an old idea!
