I think I've got an interesting theory. Since it's actually called "Zero Sign", I think Snatch is allowing Ban to "keep for himself" the signs needed to perceive him.

All five senses and the sense of feeling someone's power in NnT are considered as giving the ability to perceive a certain type of sign or signal (such as light, sound, taste, pressure, magic power,etc.). But if an object does not send any signals toward our sensitive organs then we will stay unaware of this object (If I don't see the person behind me, I don't know their here). Ban is surpressing his presence by preventing all the signals coming from him to "escape" and reach the senses of other people (here the Ten Commandments). And if someon tells me that since he's keeping light from reaching their eyes he should appear as a black object, then I'll answer that since light is a wave (like sound) he's keeping the movement of light (the reverberation on his body) from reaching the TC's eyes rather than light itself.
