This checklist tells you everything you need to know for setting up your aluminium sign artwork.

• The finished size of an A3 aluminium sign is 297mm x 420mm, so set your artwork up at 303mm x 426mm to add 3mm bleed to both sides
• Set your colour mode as CMYK
• Use high resolution images (at least 300dpi)
• Embed or flatten your fonts

*Please note: If ordering aluminium signs with pre-drilled holes, keep important artwork and information away from these corners.

What is an aluminium sign?

Composite aluminium is a durable, long-lasting material that consists of a polythene core surrounded by aluminium sheet on either side. It’s also corrosion resistant, making it perfect for long life outdoor advertising like road signs or outdoor mounted menu boards.

How thick is this material?

It’s around 3mm thick.

What is aluminium signage printed on?

We print our signage on our state-of-the-art large format printer, the HP Scitex.

When will my aluminium signs be delivered?

Aluminium sign orders approved by 6:30pm will be dispatched for delivery the next working day. Delivery takes a further working day. For example, if you approved your order by 6:30pm on a Monday, we’d dispatch your order on Tuesday and it’d be delivered on Wednesday.

How do I upload my design?

When you add your signs to your basket, you’ll be prompted to upload your artwork. Or, if you want to continue shopping, you can upload your artwork in your basket at a later time.
