OUR Materials.
Our Philosophy
WE DON'T SELL ALUMINUM.
We sell better.
Standard aluminum is what everyone else uses. We chose MaxMetal® — a composite panel that holds prints sharper, lasts longer in LA’s sun, and installs easier. Every material we use is a deliberate choice.
Maxmetal®
COMPOSITE ALUMINUM . PRINTED VINYL
01
★ Our Standard Material
MAXMETAL 3mm
MaxMetal® is a premium ACM — aluminum composite material, the same class of material as Dibond®. Two aluminum sheets bonded to a solid core, like a sandwich: lighter than solid aluminum, stronger against dents, and perfectly flat for crisp printed graphics.
Best For
Parking signs, Tow-Away, Property, Valet — any permanent outdoor sign
Weather-Ready
Handles LA sun, rain, and coastal air without warping or peeling
Printed Vinyl
High-adhesion printed vinyl applied to the panel — sharp edges, vibrant colors
Made in Los Angeles
Cut, printed, and finished in our own shop — never outsourced
Panel
Lifespan
10+ YEARS
The MaxMetal® panel itself — engineered to stay flat and intact outdoors for over a decade.
Lifespan (Outdoor)
2-4 YEARS
Digitally printed graphics in full LA sun exposure. Shaded or indoor signs last significantly longer.
— WHY NOT STANDARD ALUMINUM?
ALUMINUM VS MaxMetal.
| Standard Aluminum Sheet | MaxMetal — What We Use | |
|---|---|---|
| Weight | Heavy — harder to install | Lightweight — easy to mount |
| DENTS & IMPACT | Dents and bends; once bent, stays bent | Sandwich core resists dents, stays flat |
| Rust | Rust-free | Rust-free — a tie, and we say so |
| Vinyl Adhesion | Good | Superior — flatter surface |
| Cost | Higher per unit | Lower per unit |
