Built for Outdoor Durability
Each 3 mm panel is completely waterproof, corrosion-resistant and exceptionally rigid. With a thermoplastic core between aluminium sheets, it’s designed to withstand the elements.
What is UV Direct Print
UV printing is a modern printing process that uses ultraviolet light to instantly cure specially formulated inks as they are printed directly onto the surface of a material. This creates a sharp, durable finish with excellent colour and fine detail. Unlike traditional printing methods, the ink sits directly on the product rather than being transferred from another material. UV printing can be used on many surfaces, including acrylic, aluminium, timber, Corian and slate, and is suitable for both indoor and outdoor applications.

Can I choose a gloss finish?
Yes. A gloss protective layer can be added to give the sign a brighter finish and provide additional protection to the printed surface.

This range is intended for signs up to approximately A3 size, with a selection of standard sizes available to order.

Upload the highest-quality version of your finished design that you have available. Ideally, your artwork should be close to the proportions of the sign size ordered. We do not crop or alter your artwork. If your design does not quite fill the ordered size in one direction, we can trim the aluminium composite to suit the proportions of your supplied artwork.
