Materials - Aluminium Composite Material
Aluminium Composite Material or ACM is a relatively new material and is made up of thin aluminium skins with a polyurethane centre, which provides a very rigid, and waterproof Board. Used in a vast array of applications, such as signage, display board, machine panels, divider panels, the material can accept direct printing very successfully.
Also it can be CNC Routed to any shape, with the addition of V-Grooving which means it can be bent and folded to provide a great alternative to a bonded seam or fold.
Processes Available for Aluminium Composite Material
- CNC Routing – precision cutting into custom shapes.
- V-Grooving & Bending – for seamless folds and complex designs.
- Digital Printing – high-quality graphics and branding directly onto panels.
Key Benefits of Aluminium Composite Material (ACM)
Aluminium Composite Material (ACM) offers a unique combination of strength, versatility and aesthetic appeal, making it the ideal choice for a wide range of bespoke fabrication and manufacturing projects. Whether for signage, display panels, machine guards or architectural applications, ACM delivers performance and design flexibility that few materials can match.
- Lightweight yet strong – ACM panels are easy to handle, transport and install, while maintaining exceptional rigidity and structural integrity.
- Waterproof & weather-resistant – The combination of aluminium skins and a polyurethane core ensures ACM is durable in both indoor and outdoor environments, resisting moisture and environmental wear.
- Versatile design options – ACM can be CNC routed, V-grooved, bent, folded or digitally printed, allowing for complex shapes, creative designs and custom fabrication solutions.
- Seamless finishes – With the ability to bend and fold without bonded joints, ACM creates sleek, professional-looking panels that are stronger and longer-lasting.
- High-quality appearance – The smooth aluminium surface is perfect for direct printing, coatings and finishes, giving every project a premium, polished look.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is ACM used for?
ACM is a versatile material used in signage, display boards, machine panels, divider panels and architectural applications. Its combination of lightweight construction, rigidity and visual appeal makes it perfect for both indoor and outdoor bespoke fabrication projects, from commercial displays to industrial enclosures.
Can ACM be printed or branded?
Yes, ACM panels can be digitally printed directly, allowing you to apply vibrant graphics, logos and detailed designs. This makes ACM an ideal choice for custom branding, promotional displays and high-impact signage that requires a professional, long-lasting finish.
Can ACM be bent or folded?
Absolutely. Using V-grooving and precision bending techniques, ACM panels can be shaped into seamless, strong and durable forms without bonded joints. This enables complex, bespoke designs such as curved panels, folded enclosures and innovative architectural elements.
Is ACM waterproof and weather-resistant?
Yes. The rigid polyurethane core combined with aluminium skins ensures that ACM is waterproof, corrosion-resistant and suitable for all environments. This makes it ideal for projects exposed to moisture, outdoor conditions or high-traffic areas, providing long-lasting performance.
