FABRIC DETAILS
Custom Printed Double-Sided (Duplex) Fabric — made to your size in a choice of 8 fabrics, from 75gsm to 260gsm.
This product is offered across more than one fabric because the right answer depends on where the panel is going and how long it needs to last. The table below sets every option side by side on the specifications that actually decide the choice — weight, opacity, finish and weather behaviour — so you can compare them directly rather than opening a page for each one.
Best for
- Double-sided hanging banners
- Two-language flags
- Ceiling-hung promotional banners
- Double-sided feather flags
- Reversible event drapes

Key advantages
- One product, 8 fabric specifications — compare and choose without leaving the page
- Two completely independent designs on one panel — different artwork, different languages, front and back
- Reads correctly from both approach directions, which doubles the working face of a hanging banner
- Single-cloth construction stays lighter and more flexible than a bonded blockout panel
- Printed by dye-sublimation on both faces, so neither side can crack or peel
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.

Best suited to
Panels seen from both approach directions — double-sided hanging banners, two-language flags, ceiling-hung promotions and reversible drapes.
Also in this range
Where the two faces must be completely independent with an opaque core between them, our duplex blockout construction is the specification to choose.
