Overview
Blockout roller banner printing, made to order and dispatched from the UK.
The problem it solves
You set up at a show. Behind your stand is a big window, or a bank of spotlights, or the next exhibitor's bright red banner. On a thin material, all of that shines through and turns your white background grey or pink. Blockout PVC stops that light, so what people see is only what you printed.
When to choose blockout
- Stands backing onto glass, such as a shop window or a hotel lobby.
- Halls with strong lighting behind the display area.
- Back-to-back stands, where two banners sit close together.
- Any design with a lot of white or pale colour, which shows through most easily.
If none of these apply, a standard roller banner on banner vinyl will do the job.
Blockout roller banner printing: what you pick
Widths are 800, 850, 1000, 1200 and 1500 mm, all at 2000 mm tall. The cartridge comes as Standard Plus or Premium. Order from 1 to 99, which covers a single stand or a matching set for every branch or department.
A real set-up
A college runs its open evening in a glass-fronted atrium. Each course has a roller banner, and the evening sun pours in behind them. On blockout, the course names and photos stay sharp until the last visitor leaves.
Artwork, timing and delivery
Put the key message in the top two thirds, where it will not be hidden by a table. Upload a print-ready file, use the free online designer, or book the paid artwork service. A person checks every uploaded file for free. Standard production is 6 working days after your order and artwork are confirmed; express from 4, saver 8. UK mainland delivery is £7.95, free on orders of £100 or more after discounts; see delivery, and read the roller banner sizes guide if you are choosing a width.
Venues run fire safety under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, and many set rules on display materials. Check the exhibitor pack before you order blockout roller banner printing for a show.

Questions
Quick answers about blockout roller banner printing.
Who handles my blockout roller banner order?
FatPrint takes the order and a person checks your file before anything is made. Each roller banner is made to order for you, then sent by courier with tracking. Questions along the way? The question box on this page reaches a person.
Will the price go up when I reach the checkout?
No. What the page shows is what you pay for the goods at checkout. The £107.91 starting price for your blockout roller banner order is the full price of the goods. Any delivery charge is shown before you pay.
Do you check the design I upload?
Every upload is looked at by a person first: resolution, bleed and text size all get checked. If anything needs fixing on your blockout roller banner order, we tell you before it is made. Paid help is there too: a clean layout from your text and logo (£15), a design from your brief (£35) or a logo redraw (£30), each with one first draft and two rounds of changes.
Is there a discount if I buy more?
Usually, yes: the more you order, the less each one tends to cost. Anything from 1 up to 99 is priced on this page for your blockout roller banner order. Goods worth £100 or more travel free to a UK mainland address; below that, delivery is a flat £7.95 for the whole order.
How do I find out what my roller banner will cost?
Choose the options on this page and the total updates straight away. It opens on the cheapest combination, £107.91. What the page shows is what you pay for the goods at checkout.
How big do these come?
Choose 800 × 2000 mm, 850 × 2000 mm, 1000 × 2000 mm, 1200 × 2000 mm or 1500 × 2000 mm. Measure your space first so your blockout roller banner fits. Prices start at £107.91 and change with the size you pick.
Asked by buyers
How much will Blockout Roller Banners set me back?
£107.91 is where Blockout Roller Banners start, set up as 800 × 2000 mm (2 ft 7 in × 6 ft 7 in), Standard plus and 610gsm blockout PVC on the Saver speed. Change the size, material, extras, quantity or speed and the total on the page moves straight away. The price you see is the price you pay at checkout, with delivery the only thing that can be added. Delivery anywhere on the UK mainland is £7.95 an order, and it costs nothing once the goods come to £100 or more after any discount code (design and artwork fees are not counted).
If I order Blockout Roller Banners, what turns up in the box?
A stand that is ready to go: your print arrives already loaded into the roller base (the cartridge), plus the pole that holds it upright, so you simply pull it up at the venue. You pick the cartridge type from Premium, Budget or Standard Plus. Width: 1500 mm, 1200 mm, 1000 mm, 850 mm or 800 mm, always 2000 mm tall. Printed on 610gsm blockout PVC. Sizes for these roller banners go from 800 × 2000 mm at the small end to 1500 × 2000 mm, 5 in all.
If I buy Blockout Roller Banners today, when will they leave you?
As the page first opens, the speeds for Blockout Roller Banners are Express 4 working days, Standard 6 and Saver 8, counting Monday to Friday and skipping bank holidays. The count begins once we have your order and a file ready to print. A bigger size or a different material can move it by a day either way; each speed shows its own days as you choose. Tracking arrives by email on the day it ships, and the courier usually takes one to three working days from there.
Is delivery ever free?
It is £7.95 for the whole order, not per item, and free once the goods reach £100 after any discount code; design or artwork charges are left out of that £100. At £107.91 the opening price is already over £100, so mainland delivery costs nothing. A mainland Highlands postcode puts a single £10 on the order. Northern Ireland has its delivery priced before you pay, and so do the Channel Islands, the Scottish islands, Scilly, the Isle of Wight and the Isle of Man.
I cannot design at all. Can someone make the artwork for me?
Yes. When you choose the Artwork option you can pick from: send your own finished file (no charge), we set your words and logo on a tidy layout, called typesetting (£15), we design it from your brief (£35), we redraw a blurry or low quality logo as sharp vector art (£30) or we create a brand new logo (£50). Each fee is fixed, sits as its own line in your basket and covers every item on that line. Typesetting and design from a brief each come with one first draft and two rounds of changes. Prefer to do it yourself? The online designer is free to use. Material choices for Blockout Roller Banners: 610gsm Blockout PVC.
What goes where on the design for these roller banners?
A club or charity stall usually gets it right with this simple order: logo up high, a short headline, a few words about what you do, then a web address or handle. Keep that lower 150 to 200 mm empty of anything important, since the base hides it. Five short lines at most reads better from across a room. Send your design 1:1 with the print, which here means 800 × 2000 mm. The free online designer shows the hidden bottom area as you work.
Could I lay out these roller banners myself on your website?
Yes. Start the designer from this page, choose a layout to begin with, then drop in your text, logo and photos and drag them where you want. It checks as you go and warns you about leftover sample text, lettering that is too small, anything outside the safe area and images too low in resolution, all before you finish. Designing and previewing costs nothing. The watermark you see on screen is never printed; once you finish, it goes into the basket. Make the artwork for these roller banners the same size as the one you order, such as 800 × 2000 mm.
How do I pick between the Budget, Standard Plus and Premium roller stands?
Think about how often it will come out. Once or twice a year, say for a church fete or a single careers fair? Budget does the job; just let the print go back down gently. Out every month at markets and shows? Premium is the tougher base, built for being set up and taken down again and again. Standard Plus is the middle ground and fits most shops and clubs that use a stand a few times a year. Change the option on the page to see what each one costs at your size. We print these roller banners on 610gsm Blockout PVC.
My stand will be in front of a big window: should I get blockout PVC or banner vinyl?
For a spot like that, go blockout. 610gsm blockout PVC carries a layer that stops light passing through, so a sunny window or bright hall lights behind it will not show through your design, and the heavier sheet sits very flat. The everyday choice is 440gsm banner vinyl, with vivid, crisp print, and it is fine in a normal room with nothing bright behind. On this listing the material is 610gsm Blockout PVC.
Which is the smallest and which the biggest roller banner I can order here?
Smallest: 800 × 2000 mm, from £107.91. Biggest: 1500 × 2000 mm, from £185.39. 3 more are listed in between, each priced on the cheapest options. Not sure which? Mark the space out with tape or string first and stand back to look.
How wide a roller banner do I need for my stall?
Every one of our roller banners stands 2000 mm high, so only the width changes: 800 mm, 850 mm, 1000 mm, 1200 mm and 1500 mm. 850 mm is the all-rounder and slides into most car boots. 1000 and 1200 mm give a roomier layout, or look neat as a pair side by side. 1500 mm works as a backdrop on its own. Measure your pitch or reception space before you choose. Sizes for these roller banners go from 800 × 2000 mm at the small end to 1500 × 2000 mm, 5 in all.
Will these roller banners be alright outdoors at our summer fete?
Not really. A roller banner is an indoor stand: in a breeze the printed panel behaves like a sail, and the base is not built to hold it down, so it can tip over and get damaged. On a calm day, under a gazebo or tucked into a sheltered doorway, it can manage if someone stays close by. For the open air, a PVC banner lashed to railings, or one of our flags in the feather or teardrop shape, copes far better. We print these roller banners on 610gsm Blockout PVC.
Are these roller banners easy to put up on my own?
It is a one-person job and takes a few minutes, which is handy when you are setting up alone before a parents evening. Step one: base flat on the floor, feet folded out if there are any. Step two: pole assembled and slotted in. Step three: both hands on the top bar, lift the print slowly and hook it on. When you finish, lift the bar off and guide the print back down yourself rather than letting it shoot back. We print these roller banners on 610gsm Blockout PVC.
Can a private person buy a single roller banner?
Yes. One is enough, and you do not need a business name or an account to check out. The opening price is £107.91, and any bank card will do. At £107.91 the opening price is already over £100, so mainland delivery costs nothing. A person still checks your file before it is printed, just as for a big order.
How much for the biggest size, 1500 × 2000 mm?
From £185.39, with the cheapest settings and the Saver service. That clears the £100 mark on its own, so UK mainland delivery costs nothing. Select it on the page and swap materials, finishes and speed to watch how the figure moves. Nothing is printed ahead of time: each roller banner is made to order for you.
Could you price a 1000 × 2000 mm roller banner for me?
From £127.29, with the cheapest settings and the Saver service. That clears the £100 mark on its own, so UK mainland delivery costs nothing. Select it on the page and swap materials, finishes and speed to watch how the figure moves. Before delivery, these roller banners cost from £107.91.
Is there a minimum quantity for these roller banners?
The smallest order is 1 and the largest listed is 99; the list starts 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 and carries on from there. The price on the page covers every item in that quantity. To compare two quantities fairly, split each total by its number. A bigger run than the list allows can be priced separately on our Get a quote page. Sizes for these roller banners go from 800 × 2000 mm at the small end to 1500 × 2000 mm, 5 in all.
Could the total go up after I reach the checkout?
The only thing that can join the goods price is delivery; the price you see is the price you pay at checkout. Delivery anywhere on the UK mainland is £7.95 an order, and it costs nothing once the goods come to £100 or more after any discount code (design and artwork fees are not counted). If you pick a paid design option, it sits in the basket as a separate line with its own fee, so every penny is listed before you pay. Sizes for these roller banners go from 800 × 2000 mm at the small end to 1500 × 2000 mm, 5 in all.
I have an event coming up: what is the latest I can place my order for these roller banners?
Work backwards from the day. Saver needs 8 working days before it ships and Express needs 4, and the courier then takes one to three working days. Add a few spare days to sort your artwork and to put the display up once at home or in the office. Ordering the leaflets and cards for the same stall at the same time helps the goods reach £100, when delivery becomes free. Before delivery, these roller banners cost from £107.91.
I live in the Scottish Highlands. Will Blockout Roller Banners cost more to send?
The whole UK is covered. Outside it, sadly, we cannot deliver. Mainland addresses in the Highlands pay one extra £10 on the order, even when delivery would otherwise be free. For Northern Ireland, and for the Channel Islands, the Scottish islands, Scilly, the Isle of Wight and the Isle of Man, we tell you the delivery cost before you pay, so message us your postcode on the Contact page or our Get a quote page. Choose Saver and these roller banners leave us after 8 working days; Express brings that down to 4. Before delivery, these roller banners cost from £107.91.
Is there a quicker turnaround for these roller banners?
Work back from the day you need them. Express takes 4 working days to get Blockout Roller Banners out, against 8 on Saver, and costs £143.89 on the opening option rather than £107.91. Add up to three working days for the courier, plus any time you need to finish the file. Cutting it fine? Put your date in the question box before you order.
Our wording is not finished yet. Can I still pay now and send it later?
Yes. Pay now and add the file afterwards: uploading after ordering is allowed, so you do not have to wait for the final version. If a volunteer, friend or designer is preparing it, they can send the finished file to you to upload, or get in touch through our Contact page quoting your order number. Nothing goes to print until the file arrives and has been checked, so if there is a date to hit, get the artwork over as soon as you can. Sizes for these roller banners go from 800 × 2000 mm at the small end to 1500 × 2000 mm, 5 in all.
How many pixels does a photo need to print well on these roller banners?
Roughly 5,906 pixels across and 7,874 down for a 1500 × 2000 mm design, which is 100 dpi. That is plenty for something people read from a few metres away; anywhere from 100 to 150 dpi at full size will do. Text and logos are safest as vector art, which never goes fuzzy. Pictures saved from a website or social media are nearly always too small, and our file check will point out any that could print blurred.
I am not a designer. What if the file I send turns out to be unusable?
You will not be left guessing. Each uploaded file is opened and looked over by a member of the team, and problems such as low-resolution pictures, no bleed or the wrong page size are sent back to you to fix before printing. If fixing it sounds like a chore, choose typesetting for £15: we lay out your text and logo, show you a first draft, then make up to two rounds of changes. Make the artwork for these roller banners the same size as the one you order, such as 800 × 2000 mm.
Which file formats can I upload?
A PDF made at the size you ordered works best, with the fonts embedded or turned into outlines. AI, EPS and SVG are fine too, as are high resolution JPG, PNG or TIFF images. Word, PowerPoint or Canva designs can be used, but save them out as a full quality PDF where you can. Attach up to 3 files of up to 25 MB each on the product page, or order first and send them afterwards; we email you a link. Make the artwork for these roller banners the same size as the one you order, such as 800 × 2000 mm.
Will anyone look at my file before it is printed?
Every file gets a human check for size, bleed and resolution, and we contact you about any problem before printing. With the online designer, what you see on screen is what gets printed. Nobody can know your details better than you, so double-check names, numbers and dates: we print what is supplied, and work begins once the order and file are confirmed. Make the artwork for these roller banners the same size as the one you order, such as 800 × 2000 mm.
Once I finish designing these roller banners online, is the file mine to keep?
Yes. Order printing with an online design and a full resolution PDF comes with it; after payment you can download it from your confirmation email or from My Account. Just want the file? Finish the design and buy the print-ready PDF on its own for £9.99. As digital content, it cannot be cancelled once the download begins. Make the artwork for these roller banners the same size as the one you order, such as 800 × 2000 mm.
Cartridge on Blockout Roller Banners: how do the choices differ?
The cartridge option has 3 settings: premium, Budget or Standard plus. The cartridge is the base the graphic winds down into, and it decides how solid the stand feels. Budget is fine for the odd event, Standard Plus for regular outings, and Premium is the strongest if you put it up and take it down a lot. Switch between them on the page and the total updates straight away, so you can see what each one adds. We print these roller banners on 610gsm Blockout PVC.
Are these roller banners a good idea for a school open evening or a church fundraiser?
For a PTA, a church or a sports club it is one of the easiest things to reuse. It goes up in a few minutes without a second pair of hands, then rolls away into its bag afterwards. Put the name and the one key message at the top, where it shows above a table. This listing starts at £107.91.
We have a school fair coming up. Would these roller banners be suitable?
A roller banner is one of the easiest things to take to a fair: it needs no wall, goes up fast and fits in a car boot. It is an indoor product, so keep it inside the hall. Order with enough time for the making and the courier before the event. We print these roller banners on 610gsm Blockout PVC.
How would I decide between Roller Banners and Blockout Roller Banners?
Comparing Blockout Roller Banners with Roller Banners, this is what changes. Material: 610gsm Blockout PVC on this page, against 610gsm Blockout PVC or 440gsm Banner Vinyl on the other. Sizes: 5 on this page, the smallest 800 × 2000 mm, and 4 on the other, the smallest 850 × 2000 mm. Opening price: £107.91 on this page and £62.06 on the other. On the Standard service it is 6 working days on this page and 4 on the other. Go by the spot it is going in and how long it needs to last, then open both pages and compare the live totals.
We need a few different designs. Do they each need their own order?
One checkout covers the lot. Add a basket line for every design, attach the right file to each, then pay once. You pay a single delivery charge of £7.95 for the whole order, or nothing if the goods add up to £100 or more. Repeating one design on another line? Choose the artwork choice that points to a file already in the basket, and no second design fee is charged. Before delivery, these roller banners cost from £107.91.
Our club needs a big batch of roller banners, or an odd size. Can you price it?
Our Get a quote page is the place, and it also handles delivery to Northern Ireland and the islands. For anything the page cannot do, tell us the size, number, material, date and postcode on Get a quote, add a file if you have one, and we email a price back. Sizes for these roller banners go from 800 × 2000 mm at the small end to 1500 × 2000 mm, 5 in all.
Our treasurer needs a receipt for the accounts. What do we get?
Every order gets a confirmation email listing what was bought, the options chosen and the amount paid, and a club, school or small firm can file that as its record of payment. What you pay for these roller banners is the price shown on the page plus any delivery charge, nothing more. If your accounts need a particular kind of invoice, ask through the Contact page before you order and we will tell you what we can provide. Sizes for these roller banners go from 800 × 2000 mm at the small end to 1500 × 2000 mm, 5 in all.
Which cards do you take, and is paying online safe?
You pay by debit or credit card when you check out, and you can do it as a guest without making an account. Card details are handled by Stripe, a specialist payment company, so the full card number never reaches us or sits on our system. Printing starts after payment goes through and your file has been checked. If your group needs a price agreed before anyone pays, ask for a quote instead. Before delivery, these roller banners cost from £107.91.
Can I swap my file once I have paid?
It depends on timing. Until production begins, a new file can replace the old one, or the order can be cancelled with a full refund; once it has begun, nothing can be changed. Message us straight away on the Contact page with your order number. Items printed exactly as supplied or designed do not count as faulty, so check names, numbers and dates first. Before delivery, these roller banners cost from £107.91.
Next year we will want the same roller banner again. Is reordering easy?
Yes. Treat it as a fresh order of the same item with the same settings, and attach the file you used last time. For online designs, the print-ready PDF from the original paid order is waiting in My Account and your confirmation email. Change any details that have moved on, such as a new email address or this year's date, before uploading. Nothing is printed ahead of time: each roller banner is made to order for you. Sizes for these roller banners go from 800 × 2000 mm at the small end to 1500 × 2000 mm, 5 in all.
The parcel turned up damaged. How do I sort it out?
Look everything over when it arrives. If something is damaged or missing, contact us within 48 hours through the contact form, with your order number and photos of both the item and the packaging. Please keep hold of it until we reply; we then sort out a reprint or a refund. Your legal rights stay the same, as the returns page sets out. Before delivery, these roller banners cost from £107.91.
Which mistakes does the online designer warn me about?
Spelling is the one thing it cannot judge, so read that yourself. It does catch placeholder words nobody changed, tiny lettering, anything drifting beyond the safe area or near the trim, blurry logos and photos, and objects covering words. Issues that would spoil the print stop you finishing until they are sorted; lighter warnings you may choose to accept. Make the artwork for these roller banners the same size as the one you order, such as 800 × 2000 mm.
Which material is used on Blockout Roller Banners?
It is what your design gets printed onto. On Blockout Roller Banners there is no choice to make: 610gsm blockout PVC is what we use. Your size, quantity and turnaround settle the final figure. Switch between the options on the page and the total moves with you, so comparing costs is quick.
