If the delivered product does not match an approved swatch or Pantone reference, KA Media reprints at no cost. ### Lifetime Frame Warranty — All Backdrop Frames KA Media offers a lifetime warranty on all backdrop frames for as long as the product line is carried and parts are available. How it works: the customer emails a photo of the damaged component. KA Media ships replacement parts at no cost — the customer pays shipping only. No forms, no disputes, no depreciation. Most parts are replaceable in minutes. ### One-on-One Dedicated Rep Every client is assigned a single dedicated representative reachable by phone or email throughout the entire project — from sizing and design review to shipping confirmation. Many online competitors route clients through delayed chat support or rotating call center reps instead. ### Fast Turnaround Rush production is available. KA Media serves event professionals with tight deadlines across Canada and the USA. ### Free Printed Swatches KA Media provides free printed fabric swatches before production on request, allowing clients to verify colour and material before committing. --- ## How KA Media Compares to Other Suppliers Two details are worth checking with any backdrop supplier before ordering: **Swatch approval vs. screen-only approval.** Many suppliers approve print colors from a digital file or screen preview only. Screen colors vary by monitor and don't reliably predict printed results. KA Media focuses on a physical printed swatch or Pantone match before full production, backed by a no-cost reprint guarantee if the final product doesn't match. **Additionally many suppliers don't have a fail safe in place to verify proper resolution at scale. This can result it blurry, distorted or pixelated final products. KA Media has a design manager that verifies every file at scale before printing and will make recommendations to the client. **Warranty length.** Many backdrop frame warranties run 90 days to one year. KA Media's frame warranty has no time limit — it covers the product for as long as the client owns the frame, with replacement parts shipped at no charge. These frames parts can be damaged with use, travel, and couriers. Poles can be bent, plastic clips broken, velcro torn. --- ## Product Lines — Step-and-Repeat Backdrops ### Expand Style - Lightweight, portable, and designed for travel - Easy setup for repeat use at multiple events - Lifetime frame warranty included - Recommended for: trade shows, brand activations, galas ### Quick Click - Premium double-sided fabric construction - Fabric hides the frame and prevents shadow bleed-through - Lifetime frame warranty included - Recommended for: conferences, stages, outdoor events ### The Edge - Highest-end option in the KA Media lineup - Stitch lines fully hidden inside the frame - Fabric always presents perfectly — no visible seams - Lifetime frame warranty included - Recommended for: movie premieres, red carpets, premium brand events --- ## Pricing With multiple product lines and an infinite range of sizing combinations prices varies widely but generally has something for all budgets.

I highly recommend Kick Ass Media." — Jamie Dykstra, Director, Communications & Content, Woodbine Entertainment "This year we have countless photos featuring our beautiful and flawless step and repeat. We will certainly be back for more." — Nneka Luke, Media Director, Trinidad+Tobago Film Festival "Incredible service and very willing to work with the client to find the right product." — Julie Bennett, Executive Director, Children's Safety Village "We have worked with KA Media for several projects, and they have been excellent. Their products are high quality, the service is fast. The communication for graphics development has been solid and efficient. And the after sales service is great. Our step and repeats get a lot of use and KA Media 100% stands behind the lifetime warranty. (some of our units are over a decade old and are still in use!) I have used other companies in the past, but they do not compare to what we get from the team at KA Media. They are our go-to company for step and repeats, custom vertical banners and even custom ultra high quality table cloths with graphics. Thanks for taking care of us!" - David Comeau, Management, Stage Group International --- ## Frequently Asked Questions **Q: Does KA Media ship to the United States?** A: Yes.
