Block-out banners, single or double-sided
Block-out PVC has a light-stop layer, so nothing shows through from behind. Print one side, or both sides for banners seen from either way. Pick a size or enter your own.

About our block-out banners
Block-out banners have a grey light-stop layer inside, so a bright background or the sun behind the banner never shows through the print.
Choose both sides for banners hung across a road, between posts or over a walkway, where people see them from either direction.

- Bleed: run your background 5mm past the finished edge. It’s trimmed off, so there are no white slivers.
- Keep words in: keep text and logos at least 60mm inside the finished edge.
- Resolution: photos at 100 dpi at full size (large prints are seen from further away, so they need less).
- Files: a PDF in CMYK is best, with fonts outlined. AI, EPS, high-quality JPG or PNG are fine too. A person checks every file and emails you a proof before we print.
