18oz Blockout Banners (Single or Double-Sided Heavy Vinyl)
When you need a banner that can be seen from both sides, holds up outdoors, and looks professional in any environment, an 18oz blockout banner is the right choice. These banners are made from extra-thick, heavy-duty vinyl that prevents light from shining through the material — which means your design stays bold and visible on both sides.
We print double-sided blockout banners for customers throughout Gallatin, Hendersonville, White House, Westmoreland, Bethpage, Portland, Nashville and all of Sumner and Davidson County. These are commonly used in outdoor setups, between posts, on fences, at events, and anywhere visibility matters from multiple directions.
Why Choose 18oz Blockout Vinyl
Unlike standard vinyl banners (13oz), blockout material:
Has a light-blocking layer built into the middle
Allows printing on both sides with no show-through
Is stronger and more resistant to wind + strain
Holds shape better over time
Works perfectly for high-visibility outdoor signage
If a banner will be hung where people approach from both sides, this is the material you need.
Best Uses for Double-Sided Banners
These banners perform great in environments such as:
Street & parking lot entrance signage
Church, school, or athletic campus perimeters
Fence lines at ballfields & parks
Outdoor vendor booth or fair signage
Construction or jobsite identification banners
Car dealerships & roadside promotions
Shopping center directional signage
If people will see your banner coming and going — double-sided is worth it.
Available Finish Options
We customize the finishing based on how and where the banner will hang:
| Finish Type | Best For | Benefits |
|---|---|---|
| Grommets (Standard) | Fences & hooks | Simple & universal hanging |
| Pole Pockets | Between poles / over entryways | Clean display with internal supports |
| Reinforced Edges | Long-term outdoor use | Extra durability & tear resistance |
If you’re unsure how you’ll hang it, just send us a photo of the location — we’ll advise the best finishing.
Choosing the Right Size
Because these banners are often used outdoors or in large spaces, we frequently make them in wider formats:
3’ x 6’
4’ x 8’
4’ x 12’
5’ x 10’+
But we can print any custom size you need.
