Questions
What is Dibond?
Dibond is a brand of aluminum composite material (ACM): two thin aluminum sheets bonded to a solid polyethylene core. It is rigid, light, flat and weatherproof.
Is it waterproof?
Yes. The aluminum skins and plastic core do not absorb water, and the UV inks resist fading, so Dibond signs work outdoors.
Can I order any size?
Yes. Type your exact width and height in inches or feet, from 4″ up to 48″ × 96″. We price it from the next standard panel and cut it to your exact size.
How do I mount it?
Add drilled holes for screws, zip ties or a post. Standoffs give a floating look on walls, and command strips or easel backs need no tools.
Do you offer volume discounts?
Yes. Order 10 or more of the same sign and save 12%, 25 or more save 20%, and 50 or more save 27%. The discount is applied at checkout.
How fast will it ship?
Production takes about 3 business days, then ground shipping takes 3 to 5 business days. Signs longer than 48″ ship in an oversized box.
Do I get to see a proof?
Every order gets a free file check. Ask for a PDF proof and we wait for your approval before printing.
