WHAT MATERIAL SHOULD I CHOOSE FOR MY SIGN?
Choosing the right material for a sign depends on several factors such as the type of sign, its location, and how long it needs to last. To create multi-layered 3D signage, we often combine many of the materials available.
ALUMINIUM COMPOSITE
Aluminium composite (ACP) is a material consisting of two thin sheets of aluminium bonded to a polyethylene core. It is much lighter than its aluminium equivalent but still strong and stiff. ACP is an ideal material for indoor and outdoor signs that need to be long-lasting and can be used for sizes ranging from 100mm to 3 meters or bigger. The structure of the sign is formed by ACP to which a digitally printed vinyl graphic is applied. A laminate is then applied to the vinyl graphic to give the sign a gloss, matt or anti-graffiti laminate face. The result is a durable sign which will last for many years.
Aluminium composite is a great material choice for flat-panel signs that are wall or fence mounted, folded sign trays, hoardings, post-mounted signs, and newspaper stands.
PVC FOAM
PVC foam is a material with a fine cell structure that can be printed directly onto using our UV printer. The result is a high-quality cost-effective product. For a more premium finish, your sign can have matt, gloss or anti-graffiti digitally printed vinyl applied with wrapped edges.
Foam signs come in a range of thicknesses from 3mm to 25mm. Thin sheets are perfect if you are mounting to a curved surface or magnetically mounting to a steel structure. A thicker foam would be ideal for a free-standing display.
Foam signs are suitable for both interior and external use. When used internally, foam signs will continue to look great for many years. For outside use, they are a high-quality temporary sign with a life of up to 2 years.
PVC foam is a great choice for free-standing display boards, hanging signs, signs fitted to curved walls, signs in road frames, and event & wedding signage.
ACRYLIC
Acrylic is a highly versatile sign-making material suitable for both interior and exterior use. The material comes in many colours, but most commonly, clear acrylic with a digital print applied to the rear is used by Display Signs. Clear acrylic with polished edges gives a very premium look, while silk finish acrylic is perfect for where an anti-glare finish is required.
Translucent acrylic is used for backlit signs, and all colours and finishes are a great choice for both internal and external flat-cut letters.
Acrylic signs are ideal for an anti-glare finish, braille signs, flat-cut letters, interior directional signage, plaques, lightboxes & back-lit signs.
BRUSHED GOLD/SILVER ALUMINIUM COMPOSITE
Our indicia range of signage is meticulously UV printed directly onto brushed gold or brushed silver aluminium composite (ACP). The outcome is an exquisite and cost-effective sign with a premium aesthetic that will undoubtedly elevate your surroundings. These stunning brushed silver or gold ACP signs can be tailored to any size, making them a perfect fit for your interior signage scheme.

Stainless steel stands as a remarkably versatile material renowned for its application in built-up letters, flat-cut letters, or plaques, both indoors and outdoors. Its adaptability allows for a brushed finish, polished finish, or powder coating in any desired color, making it an ideal option for your signage needs.
For brushed stainless steel plaques, we employ a chemical etching process that allows for intricate designs filled in with full-color details. In cases where the content needs periodic updates, such as changing names for new employees, we can apply the artwork using vinyl to the face.
Choose stainless steel for your signage, and benefit from its durability, aesthetic appeal, and adaptability to various styles and settings.
