Premium Metallic Finish for High-End Signage
Brushed Aluminum Composite gives your clients that raw metallic look without the weight or cost of solid aluminum. The brushed finish shows through lighter areas of the print, creating a sophisticated metallic effect that screams premium.
How the Brushed Finish Works
Unlike standard white ACM where we print on a white surface, brushed ACM has a visible metallic grain underneath. Areas of your artwork that are lighter or transparent will show the brushed aluminum texture. Dark and fully-opaque areas print solid. The result is a sign that looks like it was etched into metal.
Best Applications
- Office and lobby signage — company logos, suite numbers, directional signs
- Architectural panels — building identification, donor walls, memorial plaques
- Upscale retail — brand displays, menu boards, wayfinding
- Real estate prestige signs — luxury property listings, development announcements
Design Tips for Resellers
Tell your designer to use transparency or lighter colors where they want the brushed metal to show through. Solid white will print as white (covering the brush). For maximum metallic effect, use dark text on a transparent or semi-transparent background.
