Part of Signage Production
ACP signboards are shop and building signs built from aluminium composite panels on a metal frame, giving a flat, rigid face at large sizes. Exhibition Printing Riyadh CNC cuts and folds them in Riyadh for retail chains, showrooms and commercial buildings, then adds printed or raised branding and installs across Saudi Arabia.
Walk down any commercial street in Riyadh and most of the fascias you see are ACP. The reason is practical: the panel is two thin aluminium skins bonded to a core, so a sign three or four metres wide stays flat, resists heat and weighs little enough to fix on an ordinary frame.
We treat an ACP signboard as a frame-and-face project. The frame is sized to your fascia, the panels are routed and folded on our CNC machines so edges turn cleanly around corners, and the face carries your branding in whatever form suits the viewing distance: UV printed graphics, cut vinyl, or raised acrylic and metal letters, with LED illumination if you want evening presence. Panel colours and finishes are available on request.
The build also scales. A chain opening its tenth branch can send us the same artwork and frontage dimensions and receive a matching sign each time. Where the whole facade needs covering rather than one branded strip, that becomes an ACP cladding job, and the two are often planned together. We survey the frontage before fabrication, so send photos and rough measurements to start.
Look at the surface coating and the core. PVDF coatings hold colour better outdoors than basic polyester ones, which matters on a sun-facing frontage. Panels also differ in skin thickness, and thin skins dent more easily during handling. Standard panels have a polyethylene core, while fire-retardant cores exist for projects that specify them. Ask what grade is being quoted, since panels that look alike can perform very differently.
A good ACP sign is routed and folded into a tray, then fixed to a steel or aluminium frame, so no raw edges show. Plan the joints early on wide fascias, because panels come in set sheet sizes and a seam through a letter looks careless. Check what sits behind too: old fixings, cables or uneven plaster can all change the frame design.
The panel itself handles sun and dust well. What ages first is often the attached vinyl, and the sealant in the joints, so check those during routine cleaning. Wash with water and a mild detergent using a soft sponge, and avoid scourers that mark the coating. Metallic finishes can show direction, so all panels in one sign need the same grain direction.
| Option | Best for | Good to know |
|---|---|---|
| Printed or vinyl face | Budget-aware fascias and detailed graphics | Quick to change later, and the graphic ages before the panel |
| Raised acrylic letters | Shopfronts wanting depth and colour | Pairs well with LED lighting |
| Raised metal letters | Showrooms and premium frontages | Costs more, and the letters can be reused on a new panel |
| Router-cut lit letters | Clean night-time sign on one flat face | Light shines through cut-outs filled with acrylic, needs a built box |

All FAQsACP stands for aluminium composite panel. It has two aluminium skins bonded to a core, giving a light but rigid sign face.
Yes. ACP makes a strong backing for illuminated letters, and we can plan the lighting and panel together from the start.
Yes, where the job calls for it. Site dimensions and fixing conditions shape the frame and panel layout, so we confirm them before fabrication.
Often, yes. Vinyl and printed graphics can be redone on sound panels, and raised letters can be swapped, though old fixing holes need to be planned for.
Yes. Projecting and freestanding signs can be built as a box with a face on each side, which helps people approaching from both directions.
Dust settles on any exterior sign, but it washes off smooth ACP easily. Mid-tone and metallic colours hide it better than very dark gloss.
