Launching at PRINTING United Expo, DD7703 Lined Flag, winner of Media— Textile—Flag, is a lightweight, 5.6 oz/yd² outdoor fabric that combines a printable face with an integrated Silver Flag liner—eliminating the need for a separate light-blocking layer. This innovative one-step solution reduces material and labor costs while delivering sharp prints, excellent opacity, and durability. Ideal for street pole banners, feather flags, and two-sided displays, it supports large-format printing up to 126-inches wide with fewer seams and faster production. Compatible with dye sub (transfer and direct) and UV-curable printing, it offers exceptional versatility and efficiency.

Also launching at PRINTING United Expo, DD1001 Impression Backlit, winner of Media—Textile—Framing Systems (Backlit), is an advanced printable polyester fabric designed for backlit framing systems. Though it appears muted initially, it delivers stunning vibrancy when backlit—thanks to low ink absorption and excellent color depth. Designed for high-speed, cost-sensitive environments, it uses significantly less ink without compromising quality. Soft, stretchy, and smooth with minimal fuzz, it also resists ink rub-off for cleaner production. At 5.9 oz/yd² and 126-inches wide, it is compatible with dye sub (transfer and direct) and UV-curable printing—offering a premium alternative to traditional knit backlit fabrics.

“A special note of congratulations to Fisher Textiles and all those honored this year for their outstanding work in the 2025 Pinnacle Awards Program,” said Lindsay Ferrari, Program Administrator, PRINTING United Alliance. “Each Pinnacle Award recipient reflects the bold thinking and technical excellence that continues to elevate and move our industry forward.”
