Material
Our aluminium is a 3 mm multi-layer panel with a black polyethylene core and a printable white or brushed surface depending on your choice. This rigid and weatherproof material is suitable both for indoor and outdoor use. Choose white aluminium when looking for the colours to appear vibrant and take advantage of the double-sided printing (up to 140 x 140 cm) for your signage, advertising or even custom photo prints. |
|
Looking for a modern, industrial edge with a refined feel? Brushed aluminium is the way to go! Its unique texture adds depth to your design, giving it a bold, eye-catching finish!
Plus, with white printing, you can create a striking contrast against the metallic background, making certain parts of your design pop. Make your logo, image or text really stand out, even from a distance!

Formats From the smallest plaque to the biggest panel, we’re able to offer you aluminium printing in various customised sizes: from 14 x 14 cm we can cover your walls up to whatever dimensions you need! Just consider that each material has its own maximum printable size per panel: larger designs will be divided into multiple panels to hang one close to the other, with no overlapping. Be sure to double check the information available under the “i” icon of the material chosen to check whether your order will be divided or not: white aluminium can be printed in one panel up to 190 x 290 cm, while brushed aluminium up to 145 x 290 cm. It’s true, there’s no limit to your customisation with Pixartprinting as a partner, but if you’re wondering which sizes are the most commonly used, we also offer you various standard formats to choose from! |

Want to go with an extra customisation of your sign? Choose the custom shape option to give it your own unique format!
Create a directional sign in the shape of an arrow, design a panel that follows the edge of your product to catch attention, or get creative with any shape! Please note that we can only handle an external personalised cut following the path you provide in the file you send us, but we cannot handle internal or multiple cuts.

Accessories & varnish If you’re wondering how to mount your aluminium panel, depending on the format and cut chosen, we offer several solutions for hanging it on a wall or other flat surfaces:

Please note that some accessories may not be available for certain material and dimension combinations: the website only displays the options available according to your quote. And for a stunning shine, add our glossy varnish to your panel. Not only will it enhance your design, but it will also protect the print from scratches. If you’re using the aluminium board outdoors, we highly recommend the varnish for added durability and protection. |
 |
If, instead of hanging the aluminium panel, you need to have it self-standing, we provide panel stands ideal for ensuring stability and safety. Each stand measures 30 x 36 cm and, depending on the width of the panel, we recommend using one or more units, evenly distributed to ensure proper load distribution:
To use the stands, the panel must be pre-drilled with two 10 mm diameter holes, spaced 20 cm apart.
|
 |
You can also consider a panel with stand, with a sturdy metal base that can be screwed to the lower part of the panel. With a sleek and essential look, this metal support with a 30 cm base provides stability to your aluminium print (available for 3 mm white aluminium or 10 and 19 mm foamcore – PVC-free, both in standard and customised sizes). Depending on your selection, one or more supports are offered, as many as necessary to best support your panel. You can also order the only print option, in case you have previously purchased the panel with structure and just want to change the graphics: please note that the panel will come pre-drilled at the base to accommodate the same number of metal supports. Choose whether to print front only or front and back. Ideal for exhibitions, displays, point of sale and communications of all kinds, choose afree-standing product that is both versatile and practical. |

| FAQ |
You can easily hang it on a wall or another plain surface using the accessories we provide on the website: choose the option that best suits your needs from the ones described above.
For aluminium panels up to 115 x 145 cm, you can order up to 10 design variations whilst keeping the same choice of material, format and accessories. You can personalise the quantity for each variant and assign a name to easily identify them.
For shipping reasons, panels can't exceed a maximum size of 150 x 290 cm. In the case of brushed aluminium, the maximum size for a single panel is 145 x 290 cm. Any design larger than this will therefore be divided into multiple panels of the same size, with no overlaps between them. As for the file, no need to worry: our team will automatically take care of the splitting during production. Therefore, we kindly ask you to send us a single complete design, without dividing it into multiple files.
Yes, aluminium can be used outdoors as it is weather resistant. We always recommend adding varnish to the panel to give it extra protection and make the print last longer.
No, the edges are not printable and appear black, matching the polyethylene core of the aluminium panel.
If you need your panel to have a white base on both sides, be sure to choose the white aluminium and select the double-sided printing option. Panels intended for single-sided printing, on the other hand, are specifically designed for front-side use only, as the back may feature a protective film, identification labels, or even codes printed directly by the manufacturer of the raw material. These are simply part of how the material comes from the supplier, and not something we print ourselves.
Yes, you can write on the panel, even if varnished, using a permanent marker. Even if you’re using a dry-erase marker, we can’t guarantee that, when removing the drawing, the printed surface won’t be damaged: we therefore don’t recommend using the panel as a dry-erase board.
At the moment, we only provide a single external cut. Also, you can have a customised cut shape.
Panels are packed in thick corrugated cardboard with robust protective corners. If you order more than one panel, they may be packed all together or separately. It is not possible to ask for a customised packaging: We always provide the best and safest solution.
