What are Dibond Signs?

Dibond signs, also known as composite aluminum signs (ACM signs), are among the toughest and most resilient metal signs available. They’re versatile and durable, making them suitable for a wide range of applications. Dibond signs can be used to create anything from regulatory street displays to appealing wall art pieces for exhibitions. Harnessing the strength of two robust metal layers on either side of a sturdy plastic core, dibond signs are more reliable and less flexible than aluminum signs. Dibond signs are light, bend-resistant, and long-lasting. They can easily withstand harsh weather with minimal to no damage.

Looking for an effective way to promote your company? With our dibond printing solutions, you can order a fully-customized product that fits your business needs.

Dibond Sign Printing

A composite aluminum sign is a super-rigid and tough product that is rust and bend-resistant. Lighter than pure aluminum, a dibond sign originally comes with two thin, solid aluminum panels tightly bonded with a polyethylene core. The front and back surfaces can have a white or brushed silver coating, letting the ink sit smoothly. This composite sign board is the best product to withstand weather conditions such as snow, rain, and heat. For dibond printing, we use full-color UV curing printers. Inks are applied and dried with UV rays, making the graphics sun-resistant. The color vividness won’t fade away when placed under the sun and will retain its initial look. We offer two types of dibond signage printing: single-sided and double-sided.

Single-Sided: Graphics are printed on the front only, ideal for wall-mounted ACM signs where only one side is visible.
Double-Sided: Printed on both sides to maximize visibility, perfect for free-standing or hanging signs that need to be seen from multiple directions.

Dibond Signs FAQ

What is a dibond sign?: A dibond sign is a rigid product with two metal faces and a plastic core. It’s stronger than epanel and lighter than standard aluminum. For more information, check out our dibond signs specification page.
How long can I use my dibond signs?: Dibond signs are generally sturdy products which can be used outdoors like corrugated plastic signs, but their lifespan differs based on installation area. They can withstand more than five years outside and ten years indoors.
How do I care for my dibond sign?: Wipe your dibond sign regularly with a cotton towel and lukewarm water. Please note that any acid or alcohol-based liquid will wipe off the dibond printing and damage the plaque.
How do I install my dibond signs?: We provide several ways to set up dibond signs. Mount them onto walls or keep them free-standing on flat areas such as tables, mantels and countertops with the necessary accessories.
Is dibond the same as aluminum?: Dibond is not the same as aluminum. Dibond is a material made of two aluminum faces with a plastic core sandwiched in between.
Do magnets stick to the dibond?: Given that aluminum is not a magnetic substance, and both surfaces of a dibond sign are made of aluminum and the core is made of plastic; no element of a dibond sign is magnetic. So, no, magnets will not stick to dibond.
Is dibond fireproof?: Dibond is not a fireproof material. The material is considered heat-resistant. It works fine in temperatures reaching a maximum of 176°F (80°C). Exposure to an open flame or direct contact with fire may cause the core to melt and the aluminum faces to warp.

Sign was exactly as ordered, but I was not expecting an unlaminated sign's paint to come off so easily. It wipes off with water. I am reordering the the "matte" laminate and hoping this will work for outdoors

Reply FromSquare Signs

Thanks for your feedback, and we’re glad the sign arrived as expected. Unlaminated signs aren’t designed to be written on or cleaned with water. Using pencils and erasers can wear down the surface, making the ink more sensitive to moisture. For outdoor use, the print itself is suitable, but lamination helps protect against wear and fading over time. Matte lamination adds protection, but for surfaces that need cleaning or writing, anti-graffiti options are more appropriate. We appreciate your order and your understanding.

I came to find this through an internet search after receiving a quote for what was 4x more expensive than what I paid for this sign, and the one they wanted to give me was only 0.90" aluminum and not a Dibond sign like this - incredible value and so far it's looking like it's great quality.
