Overview
Alupanel A-Lite Digital
Elevate your work with Alupanel A-Lite Digital, our premium-tier composite panel engineered for those who refuse to compromise on quality. While standard panels get the job done, A-Lite Digital is meticulously crafted with high-grade 5005-series alloy with a 0.22mm thick surface to provide an ultra-flat, rigid canvas that thrives under the pressure of high-speed production.
The difference is in the finish: our specialized Signal White digital coating offers unrivalled ink adhesion, transforming every design into a masterpiece of increased brightness, vivid colour intensity, and long-term durability. When your reputation relies on the sharpest, most vibrant prints in the industry, this is the superior surface your business deserves. Alupanel A-Lite Digital is also available with higher fire rated M1 class core (see below)
Key Benefits:
Brighter, More Intense Colours:
Experience significantly enhanced ink adhesion on our optimized coating print surface, resulting in richer, more vibrant, and attention-grabbing graphics.
Exceptional Print Clarity:
The ultra-smooth, uniform 9003 Signal White matt polyester paint surface provides the ideal foundation for high-resolution digital and screen printing, ensuring crisp and detailed results at high speed
Unmatched Durability & Flatness:
Benefit from a rigid and impact-resistant panel featuring thicker 0.20mm faces with a 5005 series alloy base. This not only provides superior stability and exceptional flatness, crucial for protecting your print hardware, but also offers enhanced erosion resistance for longer-lasting outdoor applications due to the alloy's magnesium content.
Effortless Routing & Fabrication:
The combination of our 100% recycled LDPE core and the 5005 series alloy which offers excellent machinability, make routing and fabrication cleaner and easier, saving you time and tooling costs.
Faster, Cleaner Production:
Our improved low-tack protective liner releases effortlessly, saving you time and preventing ghosting and print lines, contributing to a smoother production process.
Environmentally Conscious Choice:
Manufactured in the UK with a 100% recycled LDPE core, supporting sustainable practices as we are not only within the same continent as the majority of our main customers but also offer recycling options for used panels post project completion.
Versatile Applications:
Perfect for a wide array of flat applications, including direct UV & screen printing, sign making, wayfinding, POS/POP displays, vinyl application, and more.
Guaranteed Quality:
Enjoy peace of mind with our 2-year warranty, a testament to the product's superior durability and performance.
Optimized for Efficiency:
Available in a comprehensive range of formats, thicknesses (2mm to 6mm), widths (1000mm to 2050mm), and lengths (2440mm to 6000mm) to maximize material yield and minimize waste.
