More Information

Our Personalised Blockout backdrops are a fantastic solution. They are printed on a polyester black-backed fabric creating your very own custom band banners and stage scrims. We print and finish these in the same way as our standard Personalised Backdrop.

We also use the Personalised Blockout Backdrop material to manufacture stage backdrops, photography backdrops, exhibition displays and podium backdrops. The blackout fabric blocks out any light from behind, making these suitable for use outdoors, in front of windows or light sources. We print these superb fabric backdrops using dye-sublimation technology to provide eye-popping, vibrant colours and photo-quality images.

Large light stop backdrops

We print fabrics on rolls up to 3m wide to provide huge seamless panels. We can manufacture more giant band backdrops. Large backdrops will have a seam, but this is expected on any large format printing over a certain size.

Blackout backdrop finishing

We finish your personalised blockout backdrop free of charge. The finishing of your personalised Blockout backdrop to your specification and choose eyelets or pole pockets to suit. Many backdrop banners will have eyelets at the top for hanging, with a pole pocket at the bottom through which you would insert a weighted pole or dowel. Some backdrops are sized to fit across lighting rigs, with eyelets in each corner for secure fixing with bungee clips or cable ties. We also provide a Backdrop Stand.

High-Quality Blockout Backdrop Fabric

  • Lightweight and easily transportable, roll our banners and backdrops or fold them up.
  • Washable by hand – wipe clean. Machine washable at 30 degrees.
  • Flame-retardant (with Fire Certificate) and non-reflective – so no glare from spotlights. Band photographers and film crews love them!
  • Indoor or outdoor use.

We can also make even cheaper large format personalised backdrops from standard PVC or Mesh banner material. Although these save on initial cost, Cheap banners are more difficult to pack without creasing, take up more storage room, and not look as good for as long.

An Ideal Podium Backdrop

Blockout Fabric is ideal for a Podium Backdrop as it can cope with varying lighting conditions. On a stage, light can come from all angles and directions – from the outdoors and from internal lighting and spotlights. Strong light from behind a normal backdrop can cause the design to appear ‘washed out’ to the audience, whereas Blockout Fabric will prevent that.

Full Colour backdrop printing, Your Design

Our dye sublimation print process copes with any design. Feel free to incorporate text, logos, illustrations, solid colours and photographic images in your creation.

Our pre-press specialists will check your artwork for quality. If we spot any issues, we will contact you before production. If in doubt, email your design to us first.

Flame Retardancy Certificate

Our Fire Certificate for the Personalised Blockout Backdrop is unique in the industry in that we have our fabrics 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.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why are your the costs for your backdrops much lower than other suppliers?

We have developed our own unique manufacturing system. This system allows us to automate most parts of the print and finishing processes. We can now produce higher quality backdrops at much lower costs than our competitors.

Are your backdrops good quality?

Yes. Our backdrops are excellent quality. We have 1000’s of happy customers all around the globe.

Will you check my artwork?

Yes, if there is a problem we will contact you. You are though responsible for supplying your artwork correctly, and we cannot be held responsible if you send a wrong or incorrect file.

What is the print process?

We print our backdrops using a CMYK Dye sublimation process. Click here for more details.

What colour is the fabric?

The fabric starts out white. We can print any colour you require as we use a full colour CMYK print process. We then print your image onto the white material. If you require for example a banner with a black background please make sure that the background of your artwork is black, set to C-10%, M-10%, Y-10%, K-100%.

Will my backdrop require a join?

Dependent on the finishing specification, backdrops which are under 2.9m in one dimension will not require a join. Some finishing such as pole pockets top and bottom will require more fabric, so this figure then reduces to 2.6m.

Larger backdrops will have a seam where section pieces of material are stitch-seamed together. Due to the increase in the viewing distance on larger backdrops a join is never very noticeable.

How long will my backdrop last?

If you look after your backdrop it will last for years. When packing up just fold up neatly as you would a bed sheet and ideally store away from direct sunlight and dust. Over time direct sunlight will bleach your backdrop.

Are your backdrops water proof?

Yes our backdrops are fully waterproof so can be used outside if required. Like any material Please make sure you dry before storing as this can cause mold which may ruin your backdrop.

Can I Iron my backdrop if it develops creases in storage?

Yes you can iron the material on a low heat.

Can I wash my backdrop?

Yes you can wash on a very low heat of 30 degrees.

How do you produce your hems?

The hems are folded and then professionally machine stitched to create a strong durable edge. Edges that don’t require any eyelets will be stitched as standard which will stop the edges fraying.

Can I have pole pockets?

Yes we can manufacture pole pockets at whatever size you require. For a standard scaffold tube you will need a 150mm flat pocket size.

What if I don’t see the finishing I require?

Please enter your special information into the additional information box. Most standard finishing is free but if this isn’t something which we class as standard finishing we will contact you to advise.

Is this product fire rated?

Tested after print process to BS5867-2: 2008: Type B. The test certificate can be downloaded here.

Can you ship around the world?

Yes we offer international shipping. Please contact us for a quote.

Can light shine through my backdrop from behind?

No this is a complete blockout fabric thanks to the black resin liner on the back.

Does this product include a stand?

No. This is a loose backdrop and doesn’t include a stand.

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.
