18oz Blockout Vinyl Banners

18oz Blockout Vinyl Banners

18oz blockout vinyl banners are a heavy-duty option for street banners, pole banners, double-sided outdoor displays, and situations where artwork needs to stay opaque from either side. The internal blockout layer helps prevent light and backside graphics from showing through.

The material has vinyl faces on the front and back with a reinforcing scrim layer, making it a strong choice for durable indoor and outdoor signage. Order the size and finishing style needed for your installation, from standard hems and grommets to reinforced options for larger displays.

FAQ

Why choose 18oz blockout material?

It is heavier and more opaque than standard banner vinyl, making it useful for double-sided displays and outdoor installs where light transmission needs to be reduced.

Can these banners be double-sided?

Yes. The blockout construction is designed for double-sided graphics, with print on the front and back.

What finishing should I use for pole banners?

Pole pockets, reinforced corners, webbing, D-rings, and proper grommet placement are common choices for pole and street banner applications.

How should pole pocket artwork be prepared?

Set up artwork at the final ordered size and keep important content away from pocket fold areas so it stays visible after finishing.
