What Is Dibond Aluminium
Dibond or Alupanel are brand names of āAluminium Composite Sheetsā or āSandwich Panelā. It is a premium form of signage with the highest durability of the materials we use. A rigid polyethylene core is sandwiched between two thin smooth aluminium layers, which results in excellent printing properties. Rigid, lightweight, super strong and weather-proof; Dibond is ideal for semi permanent application indoors or outdoors.

Why Is It Popular For Signs
Dibond has a great surface for printing onto, which means consistently high quality print results. It is super-strong, but still lightweight and weatherproof. The sandwich construction of Dibond aluminium makes it very rigid, which means it lays flat regardless of temperature fluctuations and it does not rust or deteriorate in the sun.
Where Can I Use Dibond
Dibond is 100% weatherproof, and is unaffected by changes in temperature so it can be used for outdoor applications. It is more suited to information and warning signs rather than display signs. If 10mm Foamex is too heavy, Dibond is the answer as it takes a higher wind load and weighs far less.
How Is It Printed
We print direct to the panel using durable latex inks which wonāt crack, peel or fade. Digital printing works exceptionally well on Dibond signs due to its extremely flat surface. This gives the highest quality results.
How Can I Fix Dibond
Dibond can be fixed to walls and posts. Dibond can be easily drilled so you can use screws or sign stand-offs. It can be hung from ceilings using wires or it can be attached to smooth surfaces using double sided tape. It can also be riveted.
Can It Be Shaped
Dibond is usually cut with square corners, but it can be cut to shape on request.
What Sizes Are Available
The most popular thickness is 3mm, which comes in a maximum single sheet size of 2400mm x 1200mm (just under 8ft x 4ft), but custom sizes can be purchased online using our Dibond calculator.
