ABL Imaging specializes in the production / fabrication of custom graphics, signage and art reproduction. We have been using the Alupanel products for some time now, and as time goes on we continually find new uses for the product. From a simple mounted image to a more complex crease and fold application, we have come to rely on Alupanel as a staple substrate in our operation. It is lightweight, yet strong, is printable, has the ability to be creased and folded, and has a variety of finishes – all of which allows us to release our creative forces – the possibilities seem endless!
Susan Otterson, ABL Imaging Group
Overview
Both sides of the panel have a flat, smooth, uniform surface. Available coatings include a digital finish to help produce vibrant, colour-fast prints, and a whiteboard coating, suitable for use with dry-wipe markers. Multishield® is available in either digital/digital or digital/whiteboard options.
Ideal for hoardings, whiteboards, printing and many other applications, the galvanised steel provides additional strength plus the versatility of a magnetically receptive surface. Multishield® panels can be fabricated, are strong, self-supporting and offer outstanding reliability with the backing of a 5 year guarantee * for interior use.
*Our 5 years guarantee covers for indoor installations only and the panels can not be exposed to any sort of moisture or high humidity including condensation.

Applications
Multishield is used where a magnetic, writable or printable surface is needed. A transparent dry-erase laminate can be applied over a printed Signal White Digital surface to make an interactive, writable display.
The Digital Polyester finish allows custom images, tables or information to be printed onto the sheet. Applying a transparent dry-erase laminate over the print converts it into an interactive surface that can be written on and used with magnetic accessories, combining the function of the Dry Erase Whiteboard finish with bespoke printed content
