Transform Your Designs with Printed Alumigraphics

 

 

What are Alumigraphics?

 

Printed Alumigraphics are a foil-based graphic substrate, which conforms naturally to both uneven surfaces. This makes it ideal for anything from brickwork and concrete to tarmac and paving slabs. This clever aluminium product behaves like a conformable vinyl but without the need to heat it. With your custom printed design, alumigraphics is a perfect solution for wall and floor graphics or a great temporary signage solution. We can print your design and cut Alumigraphics to shape giving you maximum creative freedom.

 

The metal-based construction of printed Alumigraphics means it can be used both indoors or outdoors. Its conformable quality gives the appearance of being painted directly onto floors or walls, making it great for brick wall murals. It is safe, durable and easy-to-use. Available in two finishes: Alumigraphic SMOOTH  has a semi-gloss finish suitable for many surfaces including walls; and Alumigraphics GRIP, which exceeds ASTM slip-resistant standards in both wet and dry conditions, making it perfect for all floor surfaces.

 

Our printed Alumigraphics are produced with state-of-the-art, large format, digital printers. We can print any design, brand logo or photograph and cut to any shape. Our in-house production facility and experienced team means we can deliver even the most ambitious campaigns.

Depending on footfall and location, our printed Alumigraphics can last up to a year and sometimes even longer. It leaves little or no residue when removed, making it a great solution for product launches or short-term advertising or temporary marketing campaign. Our printed alumigraphics can be cut to shape and floor graphic designs such as circles or those with rounded edges and have proven to last the longest.

Printed Alumigraphics Projects 

 

Discover one of our projects that used our printed Alumigraphics. We worked with the historical Burleigh Pottery and the Prince’s Trust to apply beautiful pottery designs directly to the walls and doors or their visitors centre. The results were simply stunning and have last for years on their old stone walls. We carried out many tests to find the best substrate that would provide the most effective result. Our Alumigraphics solution was a moulded seamlessly to the brickwork appearing like it had been painted directly to the wall. The foil-based, malleable graphics were also applied to the wood panel walls to allow the woodgrain to show through which were then carefully trimmed to reveal each groove. The designs themselves were taken from original pottery designs applied to walls and looked like they had been painted directly the surface.
