Perth's Go-To for Printed ACM Panels
Super Signs is Perth's trusted supplier of printed ACM (aluminium composite material) panels for commercial, industrial and architectural signage applications. Printed in-house at our Balcatta workshop using direct UV technology, our ACM panels deliver sharp, vibrant, long-lasting results that hold up under the extreme WA sun.
ACM is the gold standard for permanent external signage in Perth. Its aluminium skin over a polyethylene core gives it rigidity, weather resistance and a premium finish that corflute and foam board simply can't match. From a single shopfront fascia to 100 site hoarding panels, we produce ACM signage for Perth businesses of every size.
Why Direct UV Print on ACM?
Many sign companies still print onto vinyl and laminate it to ACM panels. In Perth's climate, this is a problem — heat causes vinyl to bubble, peel and shrink, often within 12–18 months. Super Signs prints directly onto the ACM surface using UV-cured inks, eliminating the laminate layer entirely. The result is signage that stays sharp, flat and vivid for years longer.
- No laminate peeling — direct UV print bonds permanently to the panel surface
- UV-resistant inks — colours stay true under Perth's high UV index
- No bubbling or shrinking — no vinyl to lift in the heat
- Cleaner edges — crisp, precise print right to the panel edge
- Longer lifespan — designed to last in Perth's harsh outdoor conditions

ACM Panels Perth — FAQ

How long do ACM signs last outdoors in Perth?
ACM panels printed with direct UV inks by Super Signs are rated for 7 years outdoor life in Perth conditions. This far outlasts laminated ACM panels, which can peel and bubble within 1–2 years in WA's heat. Our direct print process eliminates the laminate layer entirely, giving you signage that stays sharp and professional for the long term.
What is ACM and why is it used for signage?
ACM stands for Aluminium Composite Material — a panel made from two thin aluminium sheets bonded to a polyethylene core. It's lightweight yet rigid, weather resistant, and takes print beautifully. ACM is the industry standard for permanent external signage in Australia because it holds up in heat, UV and coastal conditions far better than timber, foam board or plastic alternatives.
How quickly can you produce ACM panels in Perth?
ACM panel orders are turned around quickly at Super Signs. Larger runs for site hoarding or development signage may take longer — contact us with your quantities and deadline and we'll give you an honest turnaround estimate.
Do you supply ACM panels to other sign companies in Perth?
Yes — Super Signs offers trade supply of printed ACM panels to other sign companies, fit-out contractors and installers across Perth. We can supply print-ready panels for you to install, or handle the full job including installation. Contact us to discuss trade pricing.
Can you CNC route or fabricate ACM panels to custom shapes?
Yes — Super Signs has an in-house CNC router that can cut ACM panels to any shape, including radius corners, custom profiles, lettering cut-outs and complex architectural shapes. All fabrication is done on-site in Balcatta, giving you faster turnaround and tighter quality control than companies that outsource their cutting.
