Dibond printing

Dibond is an aluminium composite panel: two thin sheets of aluminium with a plastic core in between. This construction makes the panel very rigid, yet light enough to be mounted on a façade.

That depends on the size, thickness and finish. The 3 mm Dibond option is listed in our ordering module, where you can enter your own dimensions and see the price. For other thicknesses, coloured panels and milled work, we provide a bespoke quote.

From a single item. We also print individual nameplates. We only use screen printing for large print runs, so the minimum order quantity is higher in that case.

We stock white in 2, 3, 4 and 6 mm thicknesses and coloured in 2, 3 and 4 mm. For most advertising and signage boards, 3 mm is suitable. The larger the panel, the thicker the sheet.

Yes, that’s what it’s made for. Dibond doesn’t warp or rust, which is why it’s used for façade signs, nameplates, site hoardings and signage that remains outdoors for years on end.

2050 by 4050 mm. That is the largest panel in our entire range, so a large façade surface will not have a joint running down the middle.

Yes. We can cut rectangular shapes, round off corners or mill free-form shapes, and drill holes to the diameter you specify. We can also mill individual letters from 3 mm Dibond.

Yes. Plain 3 mm Dibond, milled to your specifications, is listed as a separate option in the ordering module. That’s the one to choose if you’re applying lettering to the panel yourself or if it’s to be used as a backing.

Forex is a lightweight, foamed PVC sheet for indoor use and is more affordable. Dibond is stiffer, weather-resistant and designed for long-term outdoor use. For a façade sign or a street-facing nameplate, choose Dibond. You can find out more about this under ‘Printing on Forex’.

To be honest: Dibond scores 1 out of 5 on our own eco-scale – the lowest in our range of sheet materials – because aluminium and plastic are difficult to separate after use. If the sign only needs to be left outside for one season, Biprint will suffice – a PVC-free cardboard that scores 3 out of 5 on that same scale.

Yes. As well as white and the colours blue, yellow, red and black, we offer Dibond in silver, in a butler finish (which resembles brushed steel), and in mirror finish, all in 3 mm thickness. We print on Dibond in eight colours as standard, to prevent banding in solid colour areas.

On the edges. A Dibond panel comes out of the cutting machine with sharp edges. If the sign is to be hung low, along a walkway or at child height, please let us know, and we will consider how best to finish the edges.

Yes. We have our own installation team who work on site every day. We’ll provide the fitting materials if you’d like to install it yourself, or we can come and take the measurements and fit it for you.
