The backdrop is white seamless paper. It is about 8' wide and can be purchased at most photography stores. Otherwise we use qty 2 200watt/s studio strobes with umbrellas (bounced off of the inside, not soft lit) and some photoshop magic. Photoshop is only used to remove some of the gradients that appear in the white background and to fix any color cast in the polycarb, etc due to the ambient lighting.

Here is a picture of us setting up the backdrop, etc.
