Custom-printed Blockout banners

Blockout banners feature an internal layer that reduces light transmission and prevents artwork on the opposite side from showing through. This makes them suitable for displays where background show-through needs to be reduced or the print must remain clearly visible.

This category includes 440 g and 650 g Blockout banners in both single-sided and double-sided versions. You can choose the material to suit the required dimensions and the way your artwork will be displayed.

440 g or 650 g Blockout: which option should you choose?

The current range includes four options:

440 g Blockout – single-sided
440 g Blockout – double-sided
650 g Blockout – single-sided
650 g Blockout – double-sided

When choosing, consider how the banner will be displayed and whether the message needs to be visible from one or both sides. Select the material weight to suit the intended use and available product configuration.

Single-sided Blockout banners

The single-sided option is designed for displays viewed from one side. Its light-blocking layer helps prevent the background behind the banner from affecting the appearance of the artwork.

This can be useful when the banner is installed in front of another surface and the legibility of the print should not depend on the colour or artwork behind it.

Double-sided Blockout banners

The double-sided option allows both sides of the material to be used for advertising. It is designed for displays viewed from two directions, with artwork presented on each side.

The designs on the two sides do not have to be identical. Each side can carry a different message, provided the files are prepared correctly for the selected product.

How does Blockout reduce show-through?

Blockout material contains an internal layer that reduces light transmission. This helps prevent artwork on one side from showing through to the other and makes the background behind the material less visible.

This is particularly useful for double-sided displays and for banners installed in front of other signage, structures or visually busy backgrounds.

Where can Blockout banners be used?

Blockout banners can be used for a range of advertising displays, including at trade fairs, events and presentations, as well as in retail spaces and POS materials.

Depending on how it is installed, the material can be used as a standalone advertising banner, as part of a display or in a system designed for materials with the appropriate specifications.

Custom-size Blockout banners

Blockout banners can be configured to your required dimensions. After choosing an option, enter the width and height needed for your planned display.
