We reuse  two wagons with flat birch doors for every show.  A local graphics company makes us reusable, sticky-backed panels the size of the door in any style we need - rustic for Fiddler, 6 panel for drawing room, etc. for $25 a panel.  From the front row, you can't tell that the doors are really flat.  Shipping would be minimal as they come in tubes. For $100, it looks as though we've got new doors every time.

Good tip Pandora!
Our props bloke, at my old theatre. Has a mate in the printing game & gets graphic printing done on vynil. Producing thinks like book shelves & grog bottle from behind a bar.
The only limit is in the width of the vynil & length is not a great problem. It has only cost the odd bottle of whisky or a few slabs of beer tinnies & on occasions a couple of cartons. Dedpending upon the value of work done in our local currency of the local beer economy.
All the prop bod does is supply a photo pic or trani of the set piece required.
But the sticky back is a good clue, as the vynil set pieces tend to evaporate after the show?

Sorry I didnt see your reply sooner!  The graphics company we used is pdfsolutions.com, and their website is www.millstreetgroup.com.  We've used them twice now for two different door looks, and I couldn't be more pleased.  My contact there is Jon.  Thanks!
