Overview
Alupanel A-Lite Digital M1 combines the superior print performance of Alupanel A-Lite Digital with a French NF P 501-92M1 certified fire-rated core, delivering a premium digital print substrate for interior environments where fire safety certification is a specification requirement. It is engineered for print professionals and display producers who need the highest quality printed output in public buildings, retail environments, and high-traffic venues without compromising on regulatory compliance.
Built on the same 5005-series alloy platform as Alupanel A-Lite Digital with a 0.22mm skin and optimised Signal White digital coating, Alupanel A-Lite Digital M1 delivers the same outstanding ink adhesion, colour vibrancy, and print clarity as the standard range. The addition of the M1 certified core extends its application to airports, shopping centres, hospitals, hotels, and public sector buildings where interior substrates must meet defined fire performance standards.
For print businesses supplying large retail chains, public sector clients, and hospitality brands, Alupanel A-Lite Digital M1 removes the compliance barrier, enabling the delivery of premium printed interiors that satisfy both the client's visual standards and the building's fire safety requirements in a single, proven substrate.
Key Benefits
French M1 Fire Rating
Certified core provides full compliance for interior print installations in public and high-traffic commercial buildings, satisfying building control, fire safety officers, and facility managers.
Optimised Signal White Digital Coating
The same specialist print surface as standard A-Lite Digital, delivering unrivalled ink adhesion, colour brightness, and print clarity for direct UV, latex, and screen printing.
5005-Series Alloy
The premium alloy base provides superior flatness, rigidity, and machinability, protecting print hardware and enabling clean routing and fabrication for complex interior installations.
Brighter, More Vivid Output
Specifically engineered coating chemistry produces richer, more saturated colours and sharper detail than standard white-painted panels, elevating the visual impact of interior displays.
M1 Certification Without Print Compromise
Unlike many fire-rated alternatives, A-Lite Digital M1 does not require any sacrifice in print surface quality, enabling premium output across the full print gamut.
100% Recycled Core
Manufactured in the UK with a recycled LDPE core, supporting sustainability credentials and CSR requirements for public sector and corporate interior projects.
