Double-Sided Custom Vinyl Banners (18 oz)
When your banner needs to read clearly from both directions — hanging over a walkway, spanning an aisle, or facing traffic from two sides — our double-sided 18 oz vinyl is built with a block-out layer between the two print surfaces, so neither side's image shows through the other. Each side can carry the same design or two completely different ones.

Printed using full-spectrum, industrial CMYK color for consistent, accurate results, with UV-resistant ink that keeps both sides vivid year after year.
Double-Sided Vinyl (18 oz)
18 oz vinyl with a 1000x1000 denier scrim and a block-out lining sandwiched between two print layers, so light and imagery from one side never bleed through to the other. Rated for indoor and outdoor use.
Sizes & Orientation
Available from 1' x 1' up to 9' x 30'. Choose Landscape (horizontal: H x W) or Portrait (vertical: W x H) orientation — this is the first choice you'll make when customizing.
Need a custom banner size that isn't listed? Select the next size up and note your exact dimensions in the design instructions — we'll trim it to spec at no extra charge.
Sizing tolerance: finished dimensions may vary by up to 1 inch on small format banners, or up to 10% on large format banners.
Finishing Options
- Grommets & Hemming — Heat-welded hems with rust-resistant metal grommets for hanging, included at no extra charge. Grommets are placed 0.5" from the vinyl edge.
- Hemming Only — Reinforced heat-welded edges without grommets.
- None — Raw cut edge, no finishing.
- Pole Pockets (optional) — Available on the top, bottom, top & bottom, or both sides.
- Edge Velcro (optional) — Add hook-and-loop fastening along the edge; specify placement in your design instructions.
- Windflaps (optional) — Relief cuts along the edge that let wind pass through a solid banner in exposed outdoor mounts.
- Pantone Color Match (optional) — Match a specific Pantone color for brand consistency. Provide your Pantone number in the design instructions.
Safe zone: keep all important artwork, text, and logos at least 1.75" inside the edge so nothing is covered by the grommets.

Artwork & Design
Have print-ready art? Upload it directly during checkout — we recommend vector files, or high-resolution raster images (at least 150 DPI at full size) for the sharpest results. Starting from scratch or need a template to build to the correct bleed and safe area for your size? Download one from our artwork templates page linked above; we offer sized, print-ready templates with bleed and layout guides built in for every product we sell. Once you order, our design team reviews your artwork and sends a digital proof, typically within 24 hours, with unlimited revisions before anything goes to print. You can also design online using our built-in customizer, or hire one of our designers if you'd rather we build it for you.
Frequently Asked Questions
- Will the image on one side show through to the other?
- No — a block-out layer is built between the two print surfaces specifically to prevent show-through, even with two different designs on each side.
- Can I use two completely different designs on each side?
- Yes, each side is printed independently, so you can run the same design on both or two different ones.
- Is double-sided vinyl good for outdoor use?
- Yes — the 18 oz double-sided vinyl is rated for indoor and outdoor use, with UV-resistant ink to keep both sides from fading.
- Do I need grommets on my double-sided banner?
- Grommets are the standard way to hang a banner with rope, zip ties or S-hooks, and they're included at no extra charge with our Grommets & Hemming finishing option. If you're mounting to a frame or pole instead, Pole Pockets or Hemming Only may suit you better.
- How accurate is the finished size of my banner?
- Finished dimensions may vary by up to 1 inch on small format banners, or up to 10% on large format banners.
