Bespoke Velvet — Luxury Décor — A deep cut pile that swallows light — the heaviest, richest cloth we print.
Velvet's character comes from a dense cut pile standing proud of the ground weave. Light entering that pile is absorbed rather than reflected, which is why velvet blacks look deeper than any flat cloth can manage, and why the nap shifts tone as you brush a hand across it. It is heavy, it hangs with real authority, and it is the traditional specification for stage and ceremonial work.
Best for
- Stage curtains and drapes
- Ceremonial and liturgical banners
- Statement wall tapestries
- Luxury cushions and upholstery
- Acoustic stage treatments
Key advantages
- Deep cut pile absorbs light, producing blacks and jewel tones no flat weave can reach
- Substantial weight hangs with authority and falls into deep, even folds
- Naturally sound-absorbent, which softens acoustics in a hard-surfaced room
- Directional nap gives a shifting, luxurious surface that reads expensively
- Long indoor service life — a velvet drape is a multi-year asset

How ordering works
- Send your artwork — Upload print-ready artwork at any stage — we check scale, resolution and bleed before anything goes to press and come back to you if something needs adjusting.
- Made to your size — Every panel is cut and finished to your dimensions. Tell us the finished size you need and how it is being fixed, and we will allow for hems and fixings correctly.
- Printed by dye-sublimation — Colour is transferred into the polyester fibre under heat, so the image becomes part of the cloth rather than a layer sitting on top of it.
- Finished and shipped — Hems, eyelets, pole pockets, silicone edge and other finishing are applied before your order is folded, boxed and dispatched worldwide.

Technical detail
What to expect from service life. Indoors and out of direct sun, printed polyester holds its appearance for five years or more. Outdoors, published ranges for dye-sublimated polyester run from roughly six to twenty-four months depending on how exposed the position is, with the shorter end applying in high-ultraviolet regions such as the Southwest, Florida and the Gulf Coast, and in coastal or high-wind locations. Sheltered and north-facing installations reach the longer end. Coated and tarpaulin-grade constructions extend beyond that band because the coating carries the UV load.
Best suited to
Indoor stage and ceremonial work where depth, weight and acoustics all matter — stage curtains, liturgical banners, statement tapestries and luxury soft furnishing.
