    The Secret to Clean Double-Sided Banners: Why Blockout Material Matters

    When producing double-sided banners, the material matters just as much as the print. If graphics bleed through from the opposite side, the message becomes difficult to read, and the overall impact suffers.

    Ultraflex DSS 13 oz Pro Blockout is designed specifically for two-sided banner printing. It delivers vibrant graphics on both sides with a built-in light-blocking layer that prevents show-through.

    Why Some Double-Sided Banners Show Through

    If you’ve ever seen a double-sided banner where the graphics from one side are visible on the other, the material is usually the reason.

    Many lightweight banner materials lack a true blockout layer, allowing light to pass through the material and reveal the opposite graphic- especially in bright environments or when backlit.

    That’s why true blockout materials are essential for double-sided printing. The internal opaque layer prevents light from passing through, keeping graphics clean, readable, and professional from both sides.

    Ultraflex DSS 13 oz Pro Blockout features two printable surfaces with an internal blockout layer, ensuring graphics remain clear and readable from either direction. This makes it ideal for applications such as:

      • Retail promotions

      • Trade show displays

      • Street pole banners

      • Indoor and outdoor signage

    No shadowing. No image interference. Just clean, professional results.

    Smooth Printing and Strong Color

    Its smooth, printable surface helps produce sharp detail and vibrant color while maintaining efficient ink usage. For print providers, this means consistent results across larger banner runs without sacrificing production efficiency. It integrates easily into most wide-format workflows and is compatible with solvent, eco-solvent, UV, and screen printing.

    Built for Versatile Banner Applications

    Available in widths up to 126 inches, DSS 13 oz Pro Blockout works well for everything from smaller promotional banners to larger display graphics.

    When your signage needs to be seen from both directions, this material helps ensure every message stays bold, clear, and professional. To learn more, contact a Customer Specialist at 800-453-9538 or visit LexJet.com.
