5 Steps to Producing an Aluminium Composite Sign
ACM Signs are hugely popular due to their contemporary appearance and durability. ACM stands for aluminium composite material is a type of flat panel that consists of two thin aluminium sheets bonded to a non-aluminum core. It's sometimes known as Dibond.
They can be cut to any size, and routed to any desired shape. Due to their rigid nature, the signs can be used both indoors and outdoors. But how do you get the print on them? Here's our 5 step guide to manufacturing an ACM sign.
- The artwork is printed on to self-adhesive vinyl. It's then cut out and hand trimmed to size to fit over the ACM panel.
2. The vinyl is then carefully laid over the ACM sign, it's printed with an additional bleed to ensure it covers all of the edges. It's important to ensure the vinyl is applied correctly to prevent any bubbles or creases from occurring.
3. Using a sharp blade, the excess print is trimmed around the edges to give a clean finish.
4. In order to obtain smooth rounded edges, specialist tools are used to provide a clean cut finish.
5. Complete! The ACM sign is finished and ready to be sent out to the customer.
