Description

What is Blackback Backing?

Blackback Backing is a light-blocking textile designed specifically for lightboxes. Made from dense polyester with a black outer side, it blocks and reflects internal light, preventing light bleed and enhancing the contrast, sharpness, and color depth of the front-facing SEG graphic.

Installed behind the main backlit print, Blackback Backing helps direct the light forward, delivering brighter and more vivid visuals, especially in brightly lit spaces or when the rear of the lightbox is visible.

It does not contain any printed graphics. Each backing panel is finished with a 10×3 or 14×3 mm silicone edge (keder) stitched along the perimeter, allowing quick and secure installation into the rear channel of a frame.

How to use

  • Simply choose the corresponding size for your frame
  • Easy to insert and remove
  • Compatible with all standard SEG frames and lightboxes

Why use Blackback Backing?

  • Prevents light from leaking through the back of the frame
  • Improves contrast and visual impact of the front graphics
  • Eliminates ghosting and unwanted backlight bleed
  • Lightweight, reusable, and quick to install

Please prepare your artwork according to the following specifications to ensure the best print quality:

  • Submit files in PDF single-page format.

  • Use CMYK color profile (RGB may cause unexpected color shifts).

  • Resolution: 150 dpi at final size (higher if the design includes fine details).

  • Add bleeds on all sides.

  • Keep all important text and logos at least 2" inside the trim area.

  • Embed or outline all fonts.

  • Black color. To achieve the best result, please use one of the following settings:

  • True Black (C:60 M:40 Y:40 K:100)
    → Recommended for most applications – provides a deep, balanced black.

  • Rich Black (C:75 M:75 Y:75 K:100)
    → Can be used for large background areas when maximum density is required. May result in a slightly cool/blue tone.
