Choosing dibond signs

DIBOND is a brand of aluminum composite material; ACM describes the broader material category. These panels combine aluminum faces with a core. They are a practical format to discuss for printed storefront panels, directories, and large graphics. If your specification requires DIBOND by name, include it in the request so the quote identifies the correct product.

Key takeaways

  • DIBOND is a named product; ACM is the broader material category.
  • Allow for trim, fixtures, seams, and usable wall space when sizing the panel.
  • Specify the actual material, printed faces, and mounting preparation in the quote.

From artwork to finished sign

  1. 1) Measure the location

    Send a wide photo, the available width and height, and a drawing of any frame or opening that must fit the panel.

  2. 2) Review the panel and artwork

    We compare the material requirement, graphic dimensions, panel breaks, and viewing distance.

  3. 3) Approve the specification

    Confirm the exact ACM product, artwork, finished dimensions, quantity, and mounting preparation in the quote and proof.

  4. 4) Fabricate and deliver

    We produce the accepted panels and arrange the quoted shipping or installation service.

Dibond Signs questions

Is Dibond the same as aluminum composite material?

DIBOND is a brand within the aluminum composite material category. A request for ACM does not specify a particular brand. If a drawing requires DIBOND, send that requirement so any proposed product or substitution can be reviewed before approval.

Can ACM signs be installed outdoors?

Exterior use needs review of the actual panel product, printed finish, attachment, and exposure. Share the proposed location and dimensions so the sign can be specified as a complete assembly.

Can you make a replacement storefront sign panel?

Yes, replacement panels can be quoted. Send the actual opening or frame measurements, mounting information, artwork, and a photo of the existing sign. Do not rely on a photo alone for production dimensions.

Can both sides have different artwork?

A two-sided configuration can be included in the quote. Name both files, identify the top edge of each face, and explain how people approach the sign so the orientation is checked in the proof.

What affects the price of an ACM sign?

The specified material, panel size, quantity, printed faces, cut shape, finish, mounting preparation, and fulfillment all affect price. Installation adds site-specific requirements such as height, access, and support.

Do you install Dibond signs in San Jose?

Yes. Send the address, surface and mounting photos, proposed size, and access details to request fabrication with local installation. Nationwide shipping is available when you or another installer will receive the panels.
