ACM Signs
Premium aluminium composite signs for permanent exterior applications, building signage, and durable business displays.
When your business needs signage that makes a lasting impression while withstanding years of outdoor exposure, ACM signs deliver unmatched durability and professional appearance. Falcon Signs produces premium ACM signage that Auckland businesses rely on for building facades, exterior displays, and permanent business identification.
What are ACM Signs?
ACM (Aluminium Composite Material) consists of two thin aluminium sheets bonded to a polyethylene core, creating panels that combine the strength and appearance of solid aluminium with significantly reduced weight. This construction provides exceptional flatness, rigidity, and weather resistance that makes ACM the preferred choice for permanent exterior signage throughout New Zealand.
Our ACM sign service encompasses building facade signage, exterior wall signs, directory boards, dimensional lettering, illuminated sign panels, wayfinding systems, retail fascia signs, and corporate identification. We handle everything from single signs to comprehensive building signage packages, with options for custom shapes, routed lettering, folded edges, and integrated mounting systems. Our team delivers colour-accurate printing, protective lamination, and professional installation where required.
Auckland businesses from retail shops to corporate headquarters trust Falcon Signs for ACM signage that maintains its professional appearance through years of New Zealand weather conditions.

Our Process
Our ACM Signs Process
Site Assessment and Consultation
We discuss your signage requirements including location, mounting surface, visibility needs, and environmental factors. For building installations, we can arrange site visits to assess mounting conditions and ensure optimal sign sizing and placement.
Design Development
Work with our design team or provide your artwork for ACM sign production. We ensure your design translates effectively to ACM panels, optimising for the chosen production method whether printed, routed, or dimensional.
Material and Finish Selection
We guide you through ACM panel options including thickness, core type, and surface finish. Different applications benefit from different specifications, and we match materials to your specific requirements.
Production Method Planning
ACM signs can be produced through digital printing with protective lamination, routed lettering revealing contrasting colours, applied dimensional elements, or combinations of techniques. We recommend the best approach for your design and application.
Panel Fabrication
Your ACM panels are cut to size with precision CNC equipment ensuring clean edges and accurate dimensions. Folded edges, routed shapes, and mounting provisions are added according to specifications.
Printing and Finishing
For printed ACM signs, we apply high-resolution graphics using UV-stable inks and protective lamination that guards against fading, scratching, and environmental damage.
Quality Inspection
Every ACM sign undergoes thorough inspection for print quality, colour accuracy, fabrication precision, and finish quality before release.
Installation or Delivery
Collect completed signs from our Swanson location, receive delivery to your Auckland address, or arrange professional installation through our installer network for building-mounted signage.

Lightweight Strength
Despite their robust construction, ACM panels weigh significantly less than equivalent solid aluminium, reducing mounting stress and simplifying installation.

Frequently Asked Questions - ACM Signs
3mm ACM is suitable for most standard signage applications including shopfronts, small building identification, and indoor displays. 4mm ACM provides additional rigidity for larger panels, exposed locations, and applications where the sign may be subject to wind loading or impact. For very large installations or architectural features, we may recommend 6mm panels or aluminium backing frames for structural support.
Yes, ACM is highly versatile for fabrication. Our CNC routing equipment cuts custom shapes, dimensional letters, logos, and decorative profiles with precision. The material can also be score-folded to create returns, built-up letters, and three-dimensional forms. This fabrication flexibility allows ACM to match virtually any design concept for building signage.
ACM panels feature aluminium outer skins that naturally resist corrosion, making them well-suited to Auckland's coastal conditions. The polyethylene core is completely waterproof, and quality ACM panels maintain their structural integrity and appearance in salt-air environments. For maximum protection, we recommend protective lamination over printed graphics in severe coastal exposure locations.
Common mounting methods include stand-off fixings that create a floating effect with shadow depth, flush mounting directly to walls, rail systems for easy panel changes, and integrated framing for architectural installations. The appropriate method depends on wall construction, sign size, aesthetic preference, and whether the installation needs to be removable or updatable.
ACM signs require minimal maintenance. Clean with mild soapy water and a soft cloth or sponge, rinsing thoroughly with clean water. Avoid abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, or high-pressure washing which can damage the surface or lamination. For printed signs with protective lamination, annual cleaning is usually sufficient to maintain appearance.
While solid ACM panels are not translucent, they serve as excellent substrates for face-lit signage with externally mounted lighting. ACM can also be routed through to create openings backed with acrylic or polycarbonate for halo-lit effects. For fully backlit applications, we can advise on alternative materials or hybrid constructions that achieve the desired illuminated effect.
ACM provides similar visual appearance to solid aluminium but at significantly reduced weight - approximately one-fifth the weight of equivalent solid aluminium. This makes ACM easier to mount, reduces structural requirements for installation, and lowers shipping costs. Solid aluminium offers superior impact resistance and is preferred for signs in high-vandalism areas or extreme industrial environments.
