Fabric Banners
Knitted polyester with a matt surface and no glare under lights. It folds instead of creasing, which matters if it's travelling to a different exhibition every fortnight.

Why matt matters on camera
PVC has a slight sheen that catches every light in a room and shows as hotspots on camera. Fabric is genuinely matt, so it photographs evenly — which is why press walls and studio backdrops are almost always fabric.
Folding, not rolling
Fabric can be folded into a bag and shaken out on site. Any residual fold lines drop out within an hour or two, and a cool iron on the reverse removes them immediately.
Finishing options
Sewn hem as standard. Pole pockets top and bottom for hanging systems, or eyelets if you're tensioning it into a frame.
Common questions
Can fabric banners be used outside?+
For a day or a weekend, yes. For anything permanent use PVC or mesh — fabric holds water and will sag.
Will the folds show?+
Briefly. They drop out in an hour or two hanging, or immediately with a cool iron on the back.
Can I wash a fabric banner?+
Yes — cool wash, no fabric conditioner, air dry. Useful for exhibition stands that live in a van.
