About our fabric banners
Fabric banners do the same job as vinyl but with a softer, more polished look. The print is dyed into a polyester fabric, so colours sit inside the weave instead of on top of it. The result is a banner with no shine under lights, which matters when people will be taking photos or video in front of it.
Fabric is also much easier to live with. It weighs very little, folds into a bag without cracking, and most creases drop out once the banner is stretched or given a light steam. That makes it a favourite for anyone who travels with their display, such as exhibitors, speakers, churches setting up in hired halls, and sales teams moving between sites.
We can finish a fabric banner in a few ways. Sewn hems give a neat edge for hanging with clips or ties. Pole pockets along the top and bottom let the banner slide onto rods for a flat, weighted hang. A silicone edge strip lets the print press into a matching frame so it sits drum tight. Tell us how you plan to display it and we will recommend the right finish.
Typical uses include stage and pulpit backdrops, shop window drops, table runners, hanging ceiling banners and reusable event signage. Fabric is best indoors or for short outdoor use in calm weather. For a fence in the open, a mesh or vinyl banner will cope better with wind and rain. If you are unsure which way to go, tell us where the banner will hang and for how long, and we will point you to the right material.

Photos and large blocks of colour reproduce well on fabric, though very fine text is best kept above a comfortable reading size. We will send a proof for approval before printing. Turnaround is currently 3 to 4 business days.

Fabric Banners FAQs
Can fabric banners be washed?
In most cases, yes. A gentle cold wash and line dry is usually fine because the colour is dyed into the fabric. We will include care instructions with your order.
Will my fabric banner crease?
Light creases can form when it is folded, but they relax when the banner is stretched or hung. A garment steamer removes stubborn ones quickly.
Can light shine through it?
Standard display fabric lets some light through. If the banner will hang in front of a window or bright lights, choose blockout fabric so the print stays solid.
Is fabric suitable for outdoor use?
It is fine for short outdoor events in mild weather. For permanent outdoor display or windy locations, vinyl or mesh is more durable.
Do you supply frames and stands?
We can quote banners on their own or with hardware such as pop-up frames and hanging rails. Tell us what you already have and we will match the finish to it.
