Design your stylish notice sign plate at Smoothgift. Texts, images, logo e.t.c can be painted, gilded, engraved or deep carved into the front of a Dibond plate. Perfect for display on office desks and tables, home windows, dressing tables etc.
These signs are made from Dibond also called Aluminium Composite Panel (ACP) Aluminium Composite Material, (ACM) is a flat panel that consists of two thin aluminium sheets bonded to a non-aluminium core. The core is commonly low density polyethylene, or a mix of low density polyethylene and mineral material to exhibit fire retardant properties. The light-weight and rigid composite panel is ideal for large signage applications, architectural signs, display and exhibition, POS / POP display, digital and screen printing, photomounting, interior design and industry and transport. 3A Composites (formerly Alcan Composites and Alusuisse) invented Aluminium Composites over 40 years ago with Alucobond, followed by Dibond 20 years ago.
Some sheets will look fantastic, but installation with exposed edges will quickly break down the core or cause excessive expansion and contraction resulting in -oil-canning- and /or delamination. This will not happen with Dibond sheet, it is a smooth, strong sheet designed to last.
Advantages of Dibond

- The super-polyester lacquer guarantees ideal printing and lamination properties, for screen, lamination as well as for digital printing
- The black PE core with UV blocker increases the UV resistance (compared to a bright core material)
- Despite its light weight, DIBOND offers high rigidity and perfect flatness, also with thin sheets.
- Excellent exterior stability within a range of temperatures from - 50 to +80Cel and minor thermal expansion
- DIBOND is environmentally friendly as well as fully recyclable. Also there are no heavy metals in the paint - This is guaranteed by a certificate of Dibond.

Smoothgift offers both Sandblasting engraving and Hand engraving methods. Sandblasting engraving is a true form of art. It is the most versatile form of engraving and as such, it requires specific skill set. It is distinct from other form of engraving like computer controlled form of engraving (e.g. cnc engraving, laser engraving, etc). With sandblasting engraving, no two engraved pieces are ever exactly the same.
Hand engraving is the most authentic form of engraving. It is almost as versatile form of engraving as sandblasting engraving. It shows character and just like sandblasting engraving, no two engraved pieces are ever the same.
Both engraving methods are perfect for texturing on all hard surfaces. While sandblasting cannot achieve deep engraving only on steel and metal surfaces, deep engraving and carving can be achieved with hand engraving or with a combination of sandblasting and hand engraving on steel, plexiglass, glass, acrylic, metals, woods, stones and on almost all other hard surface objects. The result is usually stunning and impressive. See more about our different engraving methods in 'quot;help'quot; or 'quot;Engraving'quot;.
Gilding is an elaborate process that requires special skill set and plenty of time for drying but the beauty of the end product makes it worthy of the time and efforts put into making it.
Although our gilding services includes oil gilding, water gilding and powder buff gilding, only oil gilding is offered for most of the products on our website. However, our customers are welcome to request for either the traditional water gilding or powder buff gilding.
While water gilding and powder buff gilding cannot be burnished or polished, oil gilding can be.
Smoothgift offers the following leafs for gilding:
Real 24 karats gold leaf
Real silver leaf and
Imitation gold leaf
It is worth noting that while the imitation gold leaf gilding requires protection cover in form of clear acrylic sealer against potential UV damages, Real 24 karats gold leaf gilding and Real silver leaf gilding do not require any protection against the UV damages because they are genuine leafs. They will never tarnish or oxide. They will always retain their shines.
