Media Event Press Walls.
A press wall is a working surface, not decoration. It has to hold a logo pattern that survives cropping, sit flat enough to avoid hot spots under broadcast light, and be up and away inside a window measured in minutes.

Broadcast lighting is what separates a press wall from an ordinary backdrop. Gloss surfaces throw hot spots straight back into the lens; matte tension fabric diffuses it, which is why every wall we build for media work is printed on the same wrinkle-free fabric rather than vinyl.
Logo layout matters more than logo size. Press images get cropped hard — often to a head and shoulders — so the pattern has to repeat densely enough that at least one full mark lands in frame whoever is standing there and however the shot is cut.
Press conferences are frequently called at short notice. If your date is tight, tell us the date first: we will tell you straight away whether it is achievable rather than after you have committed.

What size press wall do we need?
3–6m wide at 2.4m high covers most interview and to-camera positions. Wider than that only helps if you are shooting a group. Send the room and the camera position and we will size it.
Will the wall reflect broadcast lighting?
No — we print on matte dye-sublimated tension fabric, which diffuses rather than reflects. That is deliberate: gloss vinyl throws hot spots straight back into the lens under camera lighting.
Can you turn a wall around at short notice?
Sometimes — production plus freight is typically 5–10 business days by state, faster in Sydney. Send us the date before anything else and we will tell you honestly whether it is achievable.
