Where to buy cheap paper background backdrops?

[Katyxa]

I'm looking for some cheap online shop that sells paper backgrounds for my studio portraits. I will probably need them in 9 feet wide. Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Cheaper than....???? Budget? Prices you've seen? That would help. So would your location.

and be sure to check the shipping! Don't be too surprised if the shipping is almost as much as the paper at some places.

Yeah - don't forget that a 9-foot-wide paper backdrop means a 9-foot-long roll in a 9-foot-long box. It might not be particularly heavy, but the length will make it expensive for places to ship...

Plus if you don't have a van or truck good luck taking a 9 foot roll anywhere lol.

i've been looking for paper backdrops in holland for awhile now. I dont need 9 feet probably 1 meter by 1 meter any suggestions ?

I had to buy roof-bars for my car, to be able to cart my paper roll around the place. Still, they're pretty useful to have..

Cypher - 1 metre square? Get yourself a piece of A1 poster board or something - Daler mount-board should be about 5 or 6 Euros a sheet, and will be durable and last you longer than paper.

Whereabouts in Holland are you? I was in Den Haag at the weekend, visiting friends and staying in Nootdorp..
