ACM
Coala Printbond features a digital matt white surface for high-quality UV flatbed printing, while Dilite provides a cost-effective option with a protective foil on both sides. Both options are suitable for screen and UV printing and are recyclable, offering strength and visual appeal for creative and long-lasting display solutions.
How is ACM different from other rigid display boards?
ACM, or Aluminium Composite Material, stands apart from other rigid sheets due to its lightweight polyethylene core sandwiched between two thin aluminium layers. This unique construction offers strength without the weight typically associated with rigid display boards, making ACM ideal for applications where durability and ease of handling are essential.
What makes ACM suitable for outdoor signage?
ACM is engineered for long-lasting performance outdoors. Coala Printbond, for example, features a digitally optimised matt white surface, excellent flatness, and UV resistance—making it perfect for signage exposed to the elements. Its stability and easy-peel protective liner help maintain print quality, even in demanding environments.
Can ACM panels be used for hoardings and cladding
Yes, ACM panels like Dilite are well-suited for hoardings and cladding. Dilite combines a durable polyethylene core with aluminium cover sheets, providing strength and a smooth surface for flat applications. It's ideal for site signs, fascias, hoardings, and partitioning, both indoors and out.
What printing techniques are best for ACM?
For Coala Printbond, UV inkjet printing and screen printing deliver excellent results on its digital paint surface. Dilite is also compatible with screen printing and UV flatbed digital printing, thanks to its platinum white coating and protective foil. Both panels ensure high-quality, vibrant prints.
Can ACM be used for both 2D and 3D displays?
Absolutely. ACM is highly versatile, offering the rigidity and surface quality needed for flat 2D signage as well as the flexibility for forming 3D structures. Products like Coala Printbond are especially popular for creating eye-catching 2D and 3D visual communication and displays in retail, exhibitions, and public spaces.
