Diffusing fabrics
The black back is the art of showing only the essential: your visuals, nothing else.
Thanks to our expertise in textile sublimation, each canvas reveals high-definition visuals with intense, long-lasting colours, set deep within the fibre. Our stretch textiles share the same demanding standards: a wrinkle-free tension and perfectly controlled opacity.
The black recycled backing fabric, our versatile and eco-responsible choice for stands, retail, and interior design. The acoustic stretch fabric, which dresses volumes while softening sound environments. And the grey blackout backing fabric, for enhanced blackout where light must never pass.
Every project has its canvas: we'll help you choose the right one.
Stretch recycled black back fabric
Supple, opaque, always impeccable. Black stretch fabric is the star material for events, stand design and retail. And at EG Print, we offer it exclusively in a recycled form: recycled 100% polyester (r-PET), combining visual performance with environmental consciousness without compromise. Sublimation printing produces intense, long-lasting colours, whilst its matt satin finish minimises glare under lighting.
Its elasticity changes everything: tension is achieved without a single crease, even after folding or prolonged storage, and its dimensional stability preserves the integrity of each visual. The opaque black reverse (polyacrylic coating) masks interfering light sources, such as imperfections on the mounting surface, for a crisp result in all circumstances.
Tension frame with cane, stapled to a structure, wall covering with Velcro, weighted banner or cover on a display: light and versatile, it adapts to all contexts. UV and moisture resistant, fire rated B-s1,d0, it can be installed indoors or outdoors, safely - including for long-term displays.
Applications : display banner, roll-up banner, hanging display, circular sign, tension fabric frame, frame and rod system, frame clipping, stand backdrop, stand covering, stage backdrop, image wall, photocall, decoration…

Stretch acoustic fabric
The fabric that lowers the volume. Designed for communal spaces, the acoustic stretch fabric combines visual communication with sound comfort. Its very tightly knitted structure limits the spread of ambient noise and offers a high opacity that perfectly masks structures.
Stretched over a double-sided profiled frame - with insulating fleece to enhance efficiency even further - it can be used for acoustic partitions as well as freestanding structures, tubular image walls or pop-up stands. Its elasticity ensures a perfect fit for the covers and immediate crease removal upon tensioning.
The fine weave of its threads ensures high-definition sublimation printing with spectacular colours. Made from PVC-free, recyclable 100% polyester fibres, Oeko-Tex certified and classified as fire rating B-s1,d0, it is the ideal material for safely furnishing and decorating communal interiors.
Applications : Acoustic panels, stretched textile frames, soundproofing partitions…

Grey-backed knitted blackout fabric
Obscuring, without the slightest coating. The grey-backed blackout fabric effectively blocks light, even from direct sources like a window or strong lighting – and it does so without any chemical treatment. Its distinctive feature: blackout is achieved through a knitted structure incorporating a grey yarn on the back. The result is a more eco-friendly material, a sharp finish, and vibrant colours thanks to high-definition sublimation printing.
Lightweight, flexible and slightly stretchy, it is wrinkle-free and folds without leaving marks, even after multiple setups and takedowns. A decisive advantage for touring setups: it adapts ideally to tubular structures and pop-up stands, for a taut and neat finish with every installation.
In terms of sustainability, its 100% recyclable polyester fabric – which contains no chemical or polyacrylic coatings – makes it a choice that is both high-performance and environmentally responsible.
Applications : stand fitting, pop-up stands, tubular structures, counters, signage, curtains…

FAQ - Diffusing canvas: reveal your visuals in a new light
What is a diffuser fabric and why use it?
Diffusing fabric is a technical textile designed to diffuse light evenly across the printed surface. Its special feature is its translucent structure, which allows light to pass through while highlighting the printed visuals.
This type of backing is particularly well suited to backlit frames, lightboxes or lighting systems used at trade fairs, in shops, shop windows or scenographic areas. It can be used to create brightly-lit visuals with greater intensity and depth of colour, while ensuring clear reading even in low-light environments.
What are the advantages of the diffusing fabric offered by EG Print?
The diffusing fabric printed by EG Print is a high quality solution, designed to combine technical features, aesthetics and durability.
Its main advantages:
Controlled light transmission: the textile is calibrated to offer a soft diffusion, without a "halo" effect or overexposure.
Excellent print quality: sublimation printing guarantees faithful colour reproduction, even in transmitted light.
Versatile use: can be used indoors as well as for events or retail.
Compatibility with aluminium frames: the fabric can be stretched without wrinkles or excessive tension, particularly on structures such as SEG (silicone rubber) or LED profiles.
Lightweight and strong: textiles are easy to transport, install and store, while retaining their tension and quality over time.
This canvas is ideal for creating an immersive atmosphere while using light to enhance your brand image.
When should you use a diffusing fabric?
Here are a few concrete examples of how diffusing fabric can be used in your communication systems:
Illuminated boxes and lightboxes: in-store, on a stand or in a showroom, for backlit visuals that really stand out.
Event décor: creation of customised backdrops, partitions or illuminated ceilings.
Top-of-the-range signage: to promote an offer, a range or a key visual with maximum visual impact.
Interior design elements: in commercial, cultural or private spaces where light becomes an integral part of the message.
Diffusing fabric is a medium that transforms light into an asset, while guaranteeing a strong, elegant visual presence.
Can I customise the diffuser fabric?
Yes, as with all our media, the diffusing fabric is printed to measure, according to your files, dimensions and desired finishes. The printed width can be up to 3 metres, with no seams, and specific cut-outs are possible to adapt to your structures.
Several types of processing are available:
Installation of sewn-on beading for aluminium frames (SEG),
Sleeves for suspension or tensioning,
Eyelets, hems or Velcro straps depending on configuration.
Our team is with you every step of the way, from briefing to installation, to ensure the best possible visual and technical results.
Is this textile eco-responsible?
The diffusing fabric, like our entire textile range, is part of a responsible approach. It is printed in our French workshops, using solvent-free aqueous inks, on substrates selected for their durability and quality.
We also offer collection and recycling solutions to limit the environmental impact at the end of the cycle. Because light and commitment can coexist, we integrate eco-design into every project, without compromising on the final result.
