Blockout Banners

What printing methods are suitable for blockout banners?

The Coala blockout banner from Antalis is compatible with a wide range of printing techniques, including solvent inkjet, latex inkjet, UV curable, and screen printing. This flexibility ensures brilliant colour reproduction and makes it easy to produce vibrant, durable graphics tailored to different display needs.

Can blockout banners be used indoors and outdoors?

Yes. Blockout banners are designed for versatile visual communication, performing reliably in both indoor and outdoor settings. Their full opacity ensures graphics stay bold and clear, making them ideal for double-sided signage, retail displays, exhibitions, and outdoor promotions. Built with strong tear resistance, excellent durability, and a smooth matt finish, they also withstand exposure to light and weather—making them a dependable choice for long-term use.

What’s the difference between a frontlit banner and a blockout banner?

Frontlit banners allow light to pass through, which can cause show-through from the reverse side or background when used double-sided. In contrast, a blockout banner has an opaque internal layer that prevents light penetration. This ensures clean, high-quality graphics on both sides without interference—making blockout banners the preferred choice for double-sided signage.
