Fabric Blockout Banner

Fabric Blockout Banners Let No Light Through

Our Fabric Blockout Banners are made of 240gsm flexible fabric with a non-reflective finish. They are water-repellent and feature a black resin backing to prevent light from showing through from the rear.

We use dye-sublimation print technology to create deep, vivid, and vibrant colours that will last for years. These banners are available in various finishing options and can be folded and packed away small, making them easy to store and transport.

Fabric Blockout Banners

We manufacture high-quality Fabric Blockout Banners. Our fabric light-stop banners are made from a special black-back polyester material that acts as a light-stop, preventing light from passing through the banner’s face. Our fabric blockout banners are perfect for both outdoor and indoor applications, providing a premium alternative to traditional PVC banners made from vinyl banner material.

Our banners can be custom-sized to suit your needs. Simply input the desired height and width in our on-page calculator for instant quoting and ordering. We utilise a full-colour dye sublimation process to print our fabric banners. This eco-friendly method uses waterproof, water-based inks containing no harmful chemicals, resulting in a vibrant and stunning, durable, and environmentally friendly appearance.

We ensure top-notch print quality by printing directly from your provided print-ready artwork. Our team checks all print files before production, ensuring a precise and accurate finished product. We offer various finishing options, such as pole pockets, hem only, and hem and eyelets, allowing your banner to be tailored to your specific requirements.

Our fabric banners are ideal for internal hanging banners and point-of-sale applications, boasting impressive colour vibrancy and print quality. These banners are an excellent choice for a high-end display showcasing your brand and message in the best possible light.

Our fabric blockout banners are crafted using top-of-the-line materials and carefully finished by our in-house seamstresses, ensuring the utmost quality and durability.

Why Choose a Fabric Blockout Banner?

Our blockout fabric banners are ideal if you require no light show-through from behind your banner. The black latex resin on the back prevents light from showing through, making them suitable for use in front of intense lighting or against a window.

These banners are also perfect for covering up existing graphics or hiding frameworks. They have a much better look and feel than cheaper PVC banner material.

If you cannot produce print-ready artwork, don’t worry – email us a design brief, and we will layout your backdrop. We print these using dye-sublimation technology to provide eye-popping, vibrant colours and photo-quality images. We print fabrics on rolls up to 3.2m wide to provide huge seamless panels. We manufacture larger banners by stitching panels together. 

Flame Retardant blockout fabric

Our Fire Certificate for this product is unique in the industry because our fabrics are tested for flame retardancy after printing. Many venue safety officers will now not accept a generic fire safety certificate if it is just for the base fabric. Tested to the highest UK standards, our backdrops surpass BS5867-2: 2008: Type B.

Vibrant Printing Process

At Banner World, we take pride in our vibrant printing process for fabric blockout banners. Our banners are manufactured from special black-back polyester, a light-stop material that prevents light from passing through the face of the banner. This ensures clear visibility and high-quality display.

We use a dye sublimation process to print our fabric blockout banners, resulting in stunning and long-lasting colours. This process uses eco-friendly, water-based inks that contain no harmful chemicals, making it an environmentally responsible choice for our business and customers. Furthermore, our inks are waterproof, making our fabric blockout banners suitable for outdoor applications.

Our fabric banners boast a premium appearance, thanks to the attention to detail in our choice of materials, printing process, and finishes. We offer a range of finishes, including pole pockets, hem only, and hem and eyelets, to cater to various display applications. This makes our fabric blockout banners an ideal choice for high-end displays, especially when compared to PVC banners using vinyl banner material.

To ensure the best results, we print directly from print-ready artwork provided by our customers. We carefully scrutinise every print file before printing to maintain the brand quality that our customers have come to expect from us. Our commitment to quality extends to our in-house seamstresses, who skillfully finish our fabric blockout banners with precision.

Will light show through my banner?

No light will show through a blockout banner

Can I fold my banner?

Yes, folding your banner for storage is fine.

How are your blockout banners printed?

Our banners are printed using a CMYK dye sublimation print process. Click here to find out more about dye-sublimation printing.

Can blockout banners be printed double sided.

The material itself can only be printed on one side as the reverse side has the black blockout liner on. However we do manufacture double sided fabric banners by stitching two back to back. Have a look at our double sided fabric banners page.

How do I store my banner?

We recommend storing in a dark place which is clean and free of dust.  Fold and store as you would a bed sheet.

How long will my banner last?

Your banner will last for years if looked after.

Will my banner crease?

As any fabric your banner can crease. You can iron out on a very low heat if required. If you need to iron, do so on the print side only not the black backing.

Will my banner require a join?

Blockout banners which are greater than 2.9m in one dimension will require a join. On larger banners, the viewing distance is greater so a join is never very noticeable.

Is this material waterproof?

Yes the material is waterproof and can be used outdoors if required. Please though make sure the backdrop is clean and dry before storing again.

Will my order arrive on a roll or folded?

As standard the blockout fabric is shipped on a roll if the smallest dimension is 2.5m or less.  Larger banners and backdrops will arrive folded.

Do you ship outside of the UK?

Yes, we deliver throughout Europe and Worldwide. Please contact us for a delivery quotation before ordering from outside Europe.

How do you hem or finish your banners?

All our banners are professionally stitched for strength and durability. Edges without hem and eyelets will be stitched as standard to stop fraying.

Do I need a pole pocket in my banner?

Pole pockets are ideal if you need to run a cable through the top to hang the banner. A pole pocket can also be used at the bottom of the backdrop to weight it down by sliding through wooden dowels, scaffold pole, metal chain or similar.
