View Finish OptionsWhat Are ACP Sign Boards?
A lightweight yet durable aluminium composite panel used for modern storefront and facade signage.
ACP (Aluminium Composite Panel) is a sandwich sheet made from two thin aluminium layers bonded to a thermoplastic or mineral core. This structure makes ACP extremely rigid, weather-resistant, and ideal for large-format exterior signboards. Its sleek surface finish, easy fabrication, and wide colour range make it a favourite choice for architects, brands, and retail chains upgrading their storefront identity.

Learn the construction, material layers, and why ACP performs better than traditional metal or wood panels in exterior signage.
Explore ACP BasicsTypes & Surface Finishes of ACP Signage
ACP boards come in multiple architectural finishes to match brand identity and building style.
From brushed metal and mirror gloss to matte colours and premium PVDF-coated surfaces, ACP offers exceptional versatility. Brands can choose finishes that reflect sophistication, durability, or boldness. PVDF-coated ACP is highly recommended for long-term outdoor exposure as it resists UV fading and peeling. FR-grade ACP is ideal for malls and corporate buildings requiring fire-safe materials.

ACP works with multiple fabrication styles panels, cut-outs, routing, and layered 3D signage.
ACP allows sign makers to create large panels, CNC-routed shapes, 3D layered signboards, and hybrid assemblies. It can serve as a base plate for acrylic or metal letters, as a cut-out panel for backlit signage, or as a canvas for printed or vinyl-wrapped graphics. The material’s stability makes it perfect for clean edges and uniform finishes even at large dimensions.

Explore FabricationInstallation Methods for ACP Signage
ACP boards support multiple mounting systems depending on size, height, and lighting.
Installation may include mechanical fixing (anchors, rivets), adhesive bonding for smooth walls, or framed substructures for ventilated façades. For illuminated signage, wiring needs to be routed behind the panel with weathertight conduits. Always allow expansion gaps to accommodate temperature changes, especially for wide panels.

ACP delivers durability, aesthetics, and affordability for both large and small signage.
ACP is weatherproof, lightweight, and cost-effective. Its metallic or matte finishes give a premium architectural look that elevates any storefront. It resists rust, sunlight, moisture and requires minimal upkeep. For large signs or multi-store facades, ACP provides a long-lasting structural advantage over wood, MDF, or flex boards.

Why ACP?ACP vs Acrylic: Which Should You Choose?
A quick comparison to help choose between ACP base panels and acrylic 3D lettering.
ACP performs better outdoors due to its aluminium skin and UV-resistant coatings, making it ideal for façades and large signs. Acrylic is better for interior 3D logos, glossy finishes, and illuminated letters. Many premium signboards combine both: ACP as the base and acrylic as raised letters.

Compare MaterialsACP Signage Pricing Guide
ACP costs vary by thickness, finish, routing, lighting, and 3D elements.
Basic ACP panels (material-only) can start from ₹200–₹700 per sq.ft. Complete signage including fabrication, vinyl work, and mounted 3D letters ranges between ₹1,000–₹3,500 per sq.ft depending on design. Backlit routed ACP signs cost more due to LED modules, drivers, and service access planning. Always request a detailed proposal with dimensions and a 3D mockup.

Aluminium Composite Panels (ACP) have become the de-facto choice for modern commercial exteriors and large-format signage because they neatly solve a trio of conflicting needs: attractive finish, structural lightness, and affordability. Unlike single-sheet metals, ACP gives sign makers a flat, stable canvas that can be fabricated quickly into large panels, die-cut letters or routed shapes, and finished with long-lasting PVDF coatings or digital prints.
For a retailer planning a flagship store, ACP lets you achieve a seamless metallic façade look without the weight and cost of solid metal. For a mall operations team, ACP offers fire-rated options and easy replaceability for damaged panels. Fabrication workflows are mature: CNC routers, digital printing, vinyl lamination and precision bending yield consistent results even on complex geometry. Combine ACP panels with 3D acrylic or metal letters and you get a premium visual identity that reads clearly at distances while remaining cost-effective.
However, ACP is not a one-size-fits-all magic wand. The market has a range of quality levels. Low-cost PE-core ACPs with poor coatings will fade and delaminate sooner. Fire-safety is critical in public interiors - always specify FR-grade panels when the project or local code requires it. That said, when specified and installed correctly, ACP signboards deliver a high-impact brand presence with minimal maintenance and predictable lifecycle costs - which is exactly why many modern retail brands and property developers specify ACP as their preferred signage material.
