Printed Aluminum Composite Signs: Durable Commercial Signage

A printed aluminum composite sign looks sharp on the exterior wall of the Day Building in Annapolis, Maryland. First, the sign mounts securely to the wall, and we can remove it and reface it as needed without damaging the wall. Designs & Signs uses aluminum composite panels to create many commercial signs. We produce the Avery vinyl face of the sign with a large format eco-solvent printer. The media is flexible and has adhesive on the back, and we apply these printed panels over many different types of aluminum sign faces. Careful application prevents folds and bubbles, which can ruin the smooth look of a well-made printed sign. Furthermore, a coating of matte UV preventative clear enhances the appearance and helps the sign last longer in extreme sunlight and other deteriorating weather conditions. Our shop is in Edgewater, Maryland.

A printed aluminum composite sign is an excellent choice for any temporary sign needs. However, don’t be fooled by its low cost. The panels last about ten years outdoors, and our premium Avery cast vinyl and print media offer about eight years of outdoor use. Furthermore, protective clear coats extend the lifetime of both the print and the substrate. Consequently, printed aluminum composite signs are very useful for permanent installations where specifications require a low-cost, high-exposure material. Permanent installations include parking garage signage and other outdoor areas where a simple aluminum sign is insufficient.

Aluminum composite panels are rigid and hold their form over rough walls. Typical aluminum signs might deform if we anchor them tightly to cinderblock or brick. In contrast, aluminum composite stays flat and smooth, providing a more permanent and professional look.
