Outdoor Signage That Lasts: Why Print on Metal with Dye Sublimation?

When it comes to outdoor signage, you need more than just great design — you need durability, clarity, and weather resistance that stands the test of time.

At Print 2 Metal, we specialise in printing outdoor signage using only the industry leading metal panels engineered specifically for outdoor performance and vibrant image reproduction.

Our investment in advanced sublimation technology allows us to deliver outdoor signage that not only looks stunning but outperforms conventional signage solutions over time (see images below).

Whether you're a business owner, architect, artist, council, or facility manager, metal sublimation prints offer a professional, long lasting solution that elevates your message and withstands Australia’s toughest climate conditions.

Why Choose Metal for Outdoor Signage?

Outdoor signs are exposed to blistering sun, wind, rain, and even graffiti. Traditional materials like vinyl, timber, or plastic can fade, peel, warp, or crack over time. Metal, on the other hand, is built to last. When infused with vibrant imagery using dye sublimation, it becomes a powerful combination of form and function.

At Print 2 Metal, our process embeds your branding, artwork, or text information into specially coated aluminium - not just printed on the surface.

We print on aluminium panels, designed specifically for long-term outdoor exposure. These panels are coated with UV-resistant finishes that preserve the signage quality for years.

Key Features:

• Weather and UV resistant
• Waterproof and rust-proof
• Stunning detail and brilliant colour reproduction using dye sublimation
• Available in multiple finishes including gloss, semi gloss and matte
• Scratch resistant and anti-graffiti surface - easy to clean and maintain
• Backed by manufacturer warranties including a 5-year outdoor warranty

Whether installed in direct sunlight, coastal locations, or industrial zones, these panels are engineered to handle the elements without compromising visual impact.
