Overview
Alupanel IMPACT is a 3mm aluminium composite panel designed for high-volume sign, print and display projects where cost is a key factor. With a robust 0.18mm skin, positioned between Alupanel Lite and Alupanel X, it offers stability for flat-mount signage and everyday graphics. Manufactured in Britain with a 100% recycled LDPE core, fire classification EN 13501-1:2018 Class C-s2,d0 and our protective liner, Alupanel IMPACT provides a reliable, flat substrate designed for consistent ink adhesion and a professional finish for short-to-medium-term installations.
Available in 1250 x 2550mm and 1500 x 3050mm, Alupanel IMPACT features a Signal White Digital surface to optimise performance for direct-to-substrate printing and general signage. It offers UK-made quality at a price suited to high-volume work, making it a dependable choice for high-volume display projects that need efficiency and value.
