Examples of Dibond Signage

If you’re wondering what one of these signs actually look like, the chances are that you’ve actually seen many of them without even realizing it. Most commonly seen would be traffic signs, so next time you’re in the car take a look at the traffic signs along your route. Signs around real estate, new construction, marinas, contractors and in commercial settings are also often made of dibond. 

A dibond sign maker creates a sleek, smooth and stylish sign. They do not fade, ripple or crack and can be painted multiple colours (many businesses opt for a white background with their logo/ images in colour on top).

Dibond vs. aluminium

Aluminium signs are a very popular option that have been used for a long time. It is not unusual for a business to approach a sign maker to find out the differences between dibond and aluminium signs in order to determine which provides the better solution for them. Commonly, aluminium is used for parking signs and number plates.

Aluminium signs are almost always used outside, whereas dibond signs can be used indoors too.  Dibond weighs around half of what an aluminium sign weighs despite being thicker in depth and slightly stronger.

Ultimately, dibond signage is slowly but surely replacing aluminium due to its affordable price and numerous benefits. Dibond signs also provide an excellent alternative to other materials such as PVC or plywood.  A dibond sign maker can generally make one of these signs to be between 2 and 4mm and designs can be printed from 6” x 6” up to 120” x 120”.
