Custom 9.5 oz Blockout Fabric Banner | Low-Glare Photo & Event Displays

Beautiful fabric. Brilliant color. No distracting backlight.

Give your event, ministry, business, or photo backdrop a more polished presentation with Christian Supply's Custom 9.5 oz Blockout Fabric Banner. This premium three-layer, 100% polyester fabric is dye-sublimated for rich, full-color artwork and features a built-in light-blocking center layer. Its low-sheen surface helps minimize distracting flash and glare, making it a smart choice for photo backdrops, church stages, conference displays, professional events, and branded interiors.

Why choose 9.5 oz blockout fabric?

• Three-ply polyester construction: White fabric faces with an internal blockout layer help prevent light behind the banner from interfering with front-lit graphics.
• Photo-friendly, low-sheen finish: Helps reduce unwanted reflections from camera flash and event lighting.
• Vibrant dye-sublimation printing: Beautiful full-color graphics for logos, photos, event identities, and custom artwork.
• Professional fabric appearance: An attractive alternative to traditional vinyl for indoor displays and photo-ready environments.
• Made for your project: Custom dimensions available up to 8 ft × 150 ft, with hemming and grommets included.
• Flexible finishing: Choose pole pockets, sewn hems, flush-cut edges, grommets, or sewn-on hook-and-loop fastening, subject to order specifications.

Ideal for

• Church worship stages, ministry events, and conferences
• Step-and-repeat photo backdrops and media walls
• Business launches, seminars, and corporate presentations
• Trade-show branding and vendor displays

Finishing details

Hem stitching uses white or black thread selected to complement the graphic. Hem-only orders are single-stitched; hems with grommets and/or pole pockets are double-stitched. Number 2 brass grommets are available. With hook-and-loop fastening, the loop side is sewn onto the fabric and a matching adhesive-backed hook strip is included.

Pole pockets: A 2-inch pocket accommodates poles up to 1 inch in diameter. A 3-inch pocket accommodates poles up to 1.5 inches in diameter. A pocket seam will run across the design, so keep essential artwork clear of that area.

Artwork preparation

Provide your own logo, branding, photographs, or approved artwork. Preferred files are a single-page PDF or JPEG in CMYK, built at the ordered dimensions. For raster artwork, 150 dpi is recommended; convert live fonts to outlines, convert spot colors to CMYK, and omit crop marks and bleeds. Our team can confirm artwork and finishing details during your quote.

Care instructions

Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle when needed. Lay flat or hang to dry. Use a handheld garment steamer for wrinkles or creases. Do not bleach, tumble dry, or iron.

Frequently asked questions

Can this banner be printed on both sides?
No. This blockout fabric is printed on one side only; double-sided printing is unavailable.

Why use blockout fabric instead of ordinary fabric?
Its internal light-blocking layer limits interference from backlighting, while the low-sheen finish helps reduce reflections during photography and under event lights.

Can I request an oversized or joined banner?
No. The maximum custom size is 8 ft × 150 ft, and oversized joined prints are not offered for this material.

Does optional hook-and-loop fastening include both sides?
Yes. The loop strip is sewn to the banner and the adhesive-backed hook strip is supplied.

What pole size should I use?
A 2-inch pole pocket fits a pole up to 1 inch in diameter; a 3-inch pocket fits up to 1.5 inches.
