Description

Our Aluminium Dibond signs are printed full-colour, direct onto the panel, using water-based Latex ink. Rigid yet lightweight, they’re built to stay flat rather than bow or warp. Popular with retailers, construction firms, trade resellers and corporate offices, they are manufactured bespoke to your exact requirements. The perfect choice for long-term indoor or outdoor use signage.ย 

Features

3mm Aluminium Dibond Panel

Every sign is made from a 3mm aluminium composite panel consisting of two 0.20mm aluminium skins bonded to a polyethylene core. It’s the thickness we stock as standard, giving a rigid, flat panel that won’t flex or bow once fixed in place.

Single or Double-Sided Print

Most signs are printed on one face, but double-sided printing is available where a sign needs to be read from both directions, such as A-frame inserts or signage viewed from two approaches.

Custom Sizing

Order your sign to the exact size you need, up to 2m x 1m in one piece. Larger single-panel sizes can be produced for an additional ยฃ15 carriage charge per unit.

Finishing Options

Choose from drilled fixing holes, rounded corners, matt or gloss lamination, and custom cut shapes, depending on how the sign will be mounted and where it’s going.

Who Orders Aluminium Dibond Signs

Retail

Shopfront and window signage, in-store directional signage, and point-of-sale display boards. The rigid, flat panel gives a straighter, more premium finish than foam-based alternatives, and holds up to being handled and repositioned between store refits.

Construction

Site identification boards, hoarding panels, and health & safety notices. The aluminium face resists the knocks and weather exposure a busy site brings, without bowing the way foam board can over a season outdoors.

Trade Resellers

Print resellers and sign companies order Dibond wholesale for their own client jobs, from small nameplates through to full-size site boards.

Corporate Offices

Reception signage, wayfinding, meeting room plates, and car park or entrance signage, where a flat, professional finish matters more than the lowest possible cost.

Benefits of Aluminium Dibond Boards

Rigid Yet Lightweight

The 0.20mm aluminium skins bonded to a polyethylene core keep the panel flat and true, while remaining light enough to lift, carry and fix without extra support.

Durable Construction

Built from aluminium and a polyethylene core, Dibond panels resist the knocks and general wear that softer signage materials pick up over time, holding their shape once mounted.

Full-Colour Digital Print

Every sign is printed in-house on our HP Latex R2000, giving sharp, full-colour detail printed directly onto the panel face rather than applied as a separate film.

Weather Resistant

Suitable for outdoor use across a wide temperature range, from -50ยฐC to +80ยฐC, making Dibond a practical choice for signage that stays outside all year round.

Recyclable Materials

Aluminium and polyethylene are both recyclable materials, worth factoring in if your business tracks the environmental footprint of its signage.

Finishing Options Explained

Drilled Holes

Pre-drilled fixing holes let you screw the sign directly to a wall, fence or frame. Itโ€™s the most common fixing method for site boards, shopfront signs and directional signage.

Rounded Corners

Rounded corners reduce the risk of chips and snagging, suiting signage that’s handled more often, such as A-frame inserts or point-of-sale boards.

Matt or Gloss Lamination

Matt lamination cuts glare and reads well under bright lighting or direct sun; gloss lamination gives a sharper, punchier finish for signage viewed up close, such as reception or retail displays. Both options help enhance durability and longevity.

Custom Cut Shapes

We can cut your sign to a custom shape if required. Useful for logo-shaped signage, directional arrows or bespoke display boards. Contact us directly if this is a requirement.
