More Information

Our premium blockout fabric printing service uses high-quality black back polyester material designed to prevent light show-through and provide vibrant, professional display graphics. Printed using advanced dye sublimation technology, the material delivers rich colours, sharp detail, and a smooth, non-reflective finish, ideal for exhibitions, stage backdrops, media walls, and promotional displays.

Because the fabric is printed edge-to-edge in full colour, we can produce completely custom graphics, including photographic imagery, textures, branding, patterns and bespoke backgrounds.

Black Back Fabric for Professional Displays

Black-backed fabric printing is widely used for exhibition displays, theatre productions, stage backdrops, red-carpet events, media walls, branded environments, and photo backdrops.

The material combines a premium printable surface with a light-blocking black backing, helping prevent unwanted transparency or lighting interference from behind the display.

Our fabric banner printing solutions are popular for:

  • Exhibition backdrops
  • Stage and theatre graphics
  • Media walls and press backdrops
  • Band banners and event displays
  • YouTube and streaming backgrounds
  • Retail and promotional displays

Light-Blocking Fabric Printing

The black backing layer blocks out background light, making this material ideal for applications where rear lighting or window light could otherwise affect the appearance of the printed graphic.

The anti-glare, non-reflective finish makes blockout fabric particularly suitable for stage productions, photography, filming environments and exhibition spaces where lighting conditions can vary.

Printed Blockout Backdrops at Any Size

We print blockout fabric graphics up to 3.1m wide in a single piece. Larger displays can be produced with professionally finished joins where required.

Custom sizes are available for everything from compact promotional backdrops to large exhibition and stage graphics.

Fabric Finishing Options

All blockout fabric graphics are custom finished to suit your installation requirements.

Available finishing options include:

  • Hems and eyelets
  • Pole pockets
  • Velcro fixing
  • Tension frame finishing
  • Custom finishing options on request

Fire-Rated Blockout Fabric

Our black back fabric printing material is fire-rated and compliant with UK and EU fire safety regulations, making it suitable for exhibitions, events, retail displays and public venues.

Blockout Fabric Material Specifications

  • BS5867-2:2008 Type B fire-rated material

Our Guarantee

Buying banners in confidence

Every BannerWorld order goes through several checks before it reaches production. Although most of our ordering system is automated, our team still checks each order manually before it is printed. If we spot a problem or have a question, we will contact you before manufacturing begins.

Our standard turnaround is 5 to 6 working days to delivery, and most products are also available on an express service. Some express products can also be produced on our super express service, with delivery in 1 to 2 working days.

How Your Order Is Processed

File checking is standard on every order, at no extra cost. We make sure your artwork matches what you have ordered, so you can order knowing mistakes will be caught early. If anything is unclear, we will get in touch before going any further.

Step 1: Initial Artwork Check

When your order arrives, we cross-reference your artwork against it. We check that the artwork sizes and file types match the order and that we have the correct number of files for the job. If anything looks wrong or a file is missing, we put the order on hold and contact you straight away.

Step 2: Order Processing

Once your order passes the initial check, we gather all the job details, including material type and finishing. This information is sent with your artwork to our pre-press department.

Step 3: Pre-Press and Second Check

Pre-press is the stage before printing. Here your artwork is converted into the correct format for our printers and finishing equipment. This gives us a second chance to catch any problems, and if we find one, we will contact you again.

Step 4: Printing and Tracking

Your job is batched with other items printed on the same material. Each item is given a unique code that tracks it through our factory and confirms the correct material, quantity and finishing at every stage. Your order then goes to print.

Step 5: Finishing

Every job is different, whether in size, material, shape or finishing, and each one is finished exactly as specified on your order. A banner with hems and eyelets is made in a different way to a flag with a pole pocket, so each finishing process is set up to suit the product. We automate as much of this as possible using our pre-press data, which keeps labour costs down and lets us pass the savings on to you.

Step 6: Packing

Finished items move to our packing department, where your order is collated and every item is checked off against it using the order code system. Your goods are then wrapped and packed ready for despatch.

Step 7: Delivery

Our logistics team arranges delivery of your order. Most orders are sent by next day courier, and large volume orders may go on a dedicated courier.
