UV Protection Lamination when looking to use your Dibond Aluminium Composite Material externally especially in sunny locations our UV shield laminates can reduce sun degradation extending the life of the printing.
Crystal Protection Lamination will offer a physical coating protecting the print surface from damage and giving it a slightly textured matt finish. This makes it more robust to any surface marking.
Square Cutting – Dibond Aluminium Composite Material can be supplied cut to any required square or rectangular panel size within the maximum sheet size. For guaranteed accuracy all of our material is cut on a laser guided cutting table
Simple Shapes – including radius corners, circles, triangles and basic shapes are possible with a high level of accuracy and quality of finish when cut on our laser guided cutting tables.
Complex Shapes – Complex shapes are possible when cut on our market leading Kongsberg X44 cutting table which is capable of drag knife and router cutting.
V Cutting – using a special knife we can cut Dibond Aluminium Composite Material with a V cut to the reverse allowing it to be folded up to 45 degrees. This is great for creating freestanding displays and seamless angles.
CAD cutting – Our camera driven Aristo and Esko Kongsberg cutting tables are capable of cutting your design to any shape including adding creases, scores or even v-cuts.
Double sided adhesive – By applying an adhesive to one side of the material you can transform XMATERIAL into a sticker. Our adhesive range includes removable, permanent and repositionable.
Vinyl application – you can add special colours to a design such as metallics or pantones not achievable through CMYK printing by applying plotter cut vinyls of a chosen colour or finish to the material face.
Spot UV – Varnish – you can introduce areas of matt or gloss finish to your design with our digitally printed UV varnish inkjet heads. Pick out logos, text or images and bring additional focus to your print.
Strut – Make your print freestanding with the application of a strut to the reverse. This can be a single small rudder strut or a large box strut for bigger displays. We now also offer a more permanent metal strut option.
Velcro – looking to attach your print to a wall? We can apply velcro hook and loop to the reverse allowing it to be attached to a wall or surface and easily removed and replaced. Popular for exhibition stand graphics.
Magnetic Tape – with magnetic tape applied to the perimeter of your print you can affix it to metal walls or any other metal surface. Often used in the exhibition industry or in point of sale retail environments
