Blockout – material for double-sided prints without show-through

Blockout is an advertising medium with an internal black layer that limits light transmission between sides. This keeps the graphics readable and the colors more stable in different lighting conditions.

In this category you will find display solutions where a double-sided message matters: presentations, booths, points of sale, and events. Blockout works well both in mobile applications and in permanent installations.

Why it works

The black layer reduces show-through between sides.
Better text readability and graphic contrast.
More consistent appearance in strong and uneven light.
Double-sided messaging without the need to use two media.
Aesthetic finishing of the display on both sides.

How to choose

Define the application: roll-up, wall, hanging sign, or freestanding display.
Choose the format and orientation for the installation location.
Check finishing requirements (bars, sleeves, eyelets, edges).
Prepare the file as a double-sided design with the correct side orientation.
Consider display conditions: light, viewing distance, and usage time.
