Ah, we know the struggle is real. You've uploaded all your pics to your Takealot/ Marketplace Catalogue and they've rejected them all because the background isn't white enough. EEEK!
Then you've discovered all those clever apps that can remove backgrounds but your products keep getting cut off and mangled in the process - so you spend hours trying to clean them up.
We know it. That's why our real life plain white background boards will help you create Takealot ready pics, even using your cellphone and the free Lightroom mobile app on your phone.
Grab this starter kit at a massively discounted price. NAIL it. Minimal time and effort. White backgrounds without hours of background removal or complex editing apps. Quality photos, even with a smartphone. View our other bundle starter kits here.
What's inside this bundle?
These are TWO plain white boards each plus 1x bracket set (a pair) to hold up your two boards and create a mini studio.
What size are the boards?
You'll need to select your size in the dropdown. We have Medium (600mm x 600mm) and Compact boards (600mm x 450mm) available in our Takealot bundle, as our bracket sets are made for these sizes. Decide on your size by reading more in our size guidelines here.
I need a bigger size, now what?
If you need our large boards, then head on over to our Plain White boards, and select Large 900mm x 600mm in the dropdown. But please note that our board brackets are not guaranteed to hold this size up. We also have white banners available for even larger size.
