Your fabric should be chosen for how the finished piece has to behave: how it hangs, whether light or air needs to pass through, and how hard the colours need to hit. All three options here are polyester and printed with dye-sublimation. They suit very different jobs.

Ultra Sheer Fabric

A lightweight, translucent fabric that lets light pass through. It suits layered stage drapes, scrims, window treatments and overlays where you want the artwork to glow when lit from behind or to soften a scene. Printed colour reads lighter on sheer than on a solid weave, so plan bold, high-contrast artwork for maximum impact.

Polyester Taffeta

A smooth, tightly woven fabric with a crisp hand and a slight sheen. It is a dependable choice for backdrops, sewn displays, pillow covers, table drapes and props where you need sharp detail and saturated colour on a surface you can cut and stitch cleanly.

Airmesh Fabric

A perforated, open-weave material that lets wind pass through. It is built for banners on fences, scaffolding, railings and outdoor stages, where a solid fabric would catch the wind like a sail.

Accurate colour starts with a clean file and a clear brief. Before you upload, gather the following:

1. Finished dimensions of each panel, plus whether you need extra fabric beyond the artwork for hems, pockets or seam allowances.
2. Your artwork at full size or to scale, with any brand colours specified.
3. Repeat or placement notes if the design must line up across seams or panels.
4. Your deadline, so the team can confirm timing before production.

You will receive a free 2D mockup with unlimited revisions and no obligation to order. Use it to check layout, orientation, cropping and where seams or hems will fall. Nothing is printed until you approve the proof, and production starts within 24 business hours of approval. A mockup shows placement rather than the physical fabric, so if colour is critical, mention it when you submit your file. For file and colour specifics, see the brand FAQ or the FAQs below.

Printed polyester handles like any polyester of its weight, but a few habits protect the print and save fabric.

Before you cut

• Lay the fabric flat, print side up, and check alignment against your pattern before marking.
• Use a rotary cutter and a sharp blade on sheer to avoid snagging the fine weave.
• Plan seams so key artwork such as faces, logos and text stays clear of stitch lines.

Finishing edges

• Sheer: narrow rolled hems or French seams keep edges neat and avoid bulky lines that show through when lit.
• Taffeta: serge or zigzag raw edges, or sear them lightly with heat, as you would any polyester.
• Airmesh: reinforce edges where you add grommets, ties or bungee points, since this is where tension concentrates on fences and frames.

Pressing

Use a low, synthetic setting and a pressing cloth, and test on an offcut first. Excessive heat can mark polyester.
