ACM – Aluminium Composite Material

The light-weight and rigid composite panel is ideal for large exterior signage applications, architectural signs, display and exhibition, POS / POP display, digital & screen printing, photomounting, interior design and industry and transport. It comes with a gloss anti graffiti laminate as standard.

How dimensionally stable is ACM?
It is extremely stable at all temperatures and warp resistant.
How durable is ACM?
It’s very durable we apply a laminate (gloss, matte or anti-graffiti gloss) to protect the print from UV and abrasion.
How is ACM printed?
We print it on a flatbed UV printer and trim on our Zund cutter/router. It can be cut and folded into various shapes.
