Description
Alupanel signs (also called aluminum signs, Dibond, ACP or ACM signs) are rigid, weatherproof aluminum composite signs made from two thin aluminum sheets bonded to a solid polyethylene core. Grafix Media prints custom alupanel and metal signs in Calgary for permanent indoor and outdoor signage, including storefronts, construction sites, real estate listings and retail branding, built to handle Calgary’s changing weather.
Made for Calgary’s and Canada’s Weather
The layered aluminum and polyethylene construction keeps each sign lightweight but rigid. It won’t warp or crack, and our UV-stable inks resist fading, so alupanel is ideal for long-term outdoor use in high-traffic or high-impact areas. Need real estate signs? See our commercial real estate signs.
We print directly on the panel for crisp, full-colour graphics. For extra protection, add a UV or dry-erase laminate (extra charge), which adds about 2 more years of outdoor life.

Alupanel vs Coroplast: Which Sign Do You Need?
- Alupanel: a rigid aluminum composite panel for permanent and long-term signs, such as storefronts, building-mounted panels, safety and wayfinding signs. It stays flat and has a premium finish.
- Coroplast: lightweight corrugated plastic that costs less and suits short-term signs, such as lawn signs, events and promotions. See our coroplast signs.
