DIBOND®

The composite panel for sign-making

Whether two-dimensional wall surfaces for advertising, exterior notice boards or pylon columns are concerned, all the decision-making criteria relevant for the builder or designer speak out in favour of DIBOND®.

The screen printer, for example, appreciates the excellent flatness and the smooth surface when it comes to his requirement for accurate register alignment and high resolution half-tome screen printing.

The sign maker decides on DIBOND® for his outdoor application, since no other material with the same flexural stiffness is of such light weight.

DIBOND® - you cannot get anything lighter than that...
