Make a strong visual impression with vibrant café barrier printing on durable 450gsm PVC. Available in both single and double-sided options, these printed café barriers make it quick to install graphics that are effortless to replace whenever you need to roll out seasonal updates, menu changes, or fresh marketing campaigns.
To hold your artwork securely, the café barrier display uses a sleek, matt black frame with heavyweight bases for dependable stability. Designed for maximum flexibility, these portable barriers set up in seconds using 1m, 1.5m, or 2m rails. Choose a double-rail setup for windy conditions, or a single-rail configuration with spring clips for natural graphic movement. Whether you’re framing a small patio or a sprawling terrace, simply link additional rails and posts to build the ultimate custom outdoor layout.
Café and restaurant outdoor seating, bar enclosures, retail queuing systems, and more
If your barriers will be placed in an exposed or open area, opt for the double-rail configuration to keep your graphics tightly secured at both the top and bottom against the wind.

Design guidelines
To make artwork setup simple, we recommend downloading the relevant template from the 'Product Templates' section above. Don’t forget to follow the template instructions and delete the 'guide' layer before exporting your design to a PDF.
For best printing results, ensure your artwork and images are CMYK. If you use RGB, Pantone or spot colours in any element of your artwork, we will automatically convert them to CMYK which may change your colour profile.
To eliminate any font issues, make sure all fonts are ‘embedded’ or ‘converted to outlines’ before creating your PDF print file. To ensure legibility, we recommend using a minimum font size of 10pt.
For optimal image print quality, ensure all images are 300dpi to 450dpi. Anything lower than 300dpi will give poor image quality. Images higher than 450dpi will result in high file sizes and may cause longer upload times.
To avoid alignment issues during cutting, be sure to include ‘crop marks’ (offset 10mm) and ‘document bleed’ when exporting your artwork file to PDF. Refer to our product templates for the required bleed specifications.
To meet our print requirements, ensure your file is exported in Adobe PDF (Print) format, ideally as PDF/X-1a: 2001.

A cafe barrier is a modular outdoor display used to define seating areas and manage foot traffic. Made of sturdy posts, heavyweight bases, rails, and printed banners, it creates a stylish enclosure while acting as street-level advertising for your venue.
A single-rail setup holds the graphic with a top rail and bottom spring clips, allowing the banner to flex naturally in gentle breezes. A double-rail setup adds a bottom rail to keep the banner rigid and tensioned, offering maximum wind resistance in exposed areas.
Our café barrier banners are printed on heavy-duty 450gsm PVC banner material, delivering vibrant, high-resolution prints that are built to withstand everyday outdoor use.
Yes, both options are available. Single-sided printing is great for enclosing an area where branding only needs to face outward, while double-sided printing ensures your brand and message are visible from both inside and outside your venue.
Extremely easy. The graphics are designed for fast installation and removal, allowing you to swap out banners effortlessly for seasonal menus, new branding, or special events without having to replace the frame system.
Assembly is quick, tool-free, and can be done in minutes. Start by placing your heavyweight bases on flat ground and securing the vertical posts into position. Next, slide the top rail through the banner’s top pole pocket and hook both ends into the post connectors. Finally, secure the bottom: for a single-rail setup, attach the spring clips to the lower post rings; for a double-rail setup, slide the bottom rail through the lower pocket and lock it into place to pull the graphic taut. To extend your layout, simply connect additional rails to a new post and base.
