What is Dibond Board?

Dibond® is a premium aluminium composite material (ACM) and is widely regarded as the industry standard for rigid, long-lasting signage. It’s engineered to combine exceptional durability with a lightweight, flat construction, making it a popular choice for both indoor and outdoor printed displays. Dibond® is trusted for professional signage where longevity, rigidity, and a clean finish are essential.

What is Dibond® made of?

Dibond® is a rigid aluminium composite panel made from a three-layer structure, combining a solid polyethylene (PE) core with two 0.3 mm aluminium outer layers, finished with a stove-lacquered polyester coating. This construction creates a lightweight yet highly durable board that stays perfectly flat, with a smooth surface designed to deliver consistent, high-quality print results for signage and display applications.

Environmental and Material Considerations

Weatherproof, UV-resistant and temperature stable. Dibond® is suitable for long-term outdoor use (5+ years), resisting moisture, corrosion, and extreme temperatures from -50°C to +80°C.

Recyclable. Dibond® is fully recyclable, with aluminium and core materials able to be separated through specialist recycling processes.

Safety options available. Fire retardant versions, such as Dibond® FR, are tested to EN 13823 where required.

Are there alternatives to Dibond® Signs?

Dibond® signage is great when you need a rigid, premium sign with a long-term indoor or outdoor performance and a professional finish. If you need a flexible banner material instead, PVC banners or PVC-Free Banners may be more suitable. For temporary signage, lighter substrates may also be worth considering.
