A Closer Look at ACM: The Backbone of Creative Signage

Aluminium Composite Material (ACM), also known by its popular brand name Alupanel, is a versatile, durable, and lightweight material widely used in the signage industry. Consisting of two thin layers of aluminium enclosing a non-aluminium core, ACM offers excellent rigidity and flatness, making it ideal for large-scale signage applications like those seen in our competition.

What makes ACM particularly special is its adaptability—whether it’s being folded, rolled, or cut into intricate shapes, ACM allows for endless creativity and precision in design. The entries in our competition are a testament to how this material can be used to achieve extraordinary results, from the innovative Heinz Baked Beans tins exhibition by Fuel 4 Limited to the elegant signage solutions created by Eyecatchers Signs Ltd and Simply Signs Northwest.
