What are Dibond Signs? Dibond is an aluminium composite sheet which can replace the need for heavier metals. Signs printed on Dibond comprise two thin aluminium sheets sandwiched around a different core material.
It is strong and durable yet lightweight and is less likely to rust than other metals.
Top tip: To make your boards last even longer and prevent scuffs and scratches, add a gloss or matt lamination to the front.

As a permanent feature, Dibond signs are our favourite material to make a statement.
The Dibond aluminium finish gives a really smart and expensive look to a sign but they are remarkably inexpensive to produce.
Dibond signs are great for small businesses that want to have a really professional look. We love them not only as business signs but as menus and price lists that can be displayed prominently in a shop or salon.
The durability of a dibond sign is of paramount importance if you need a sign that can stand up to UK weather. When properly affixed via the pre-drilled holes, these should withstand the elements of a drizzly Monday or a windy Wednesday plus, the aluminium won't rust or fade.
