122cm x 244cm Dibond Printing – Full-Sheet Aluminium Composite Signage
Full-Sheet Dibond Signs for Permanent Indoor & Outdoor Installation
Printed Today produces full-sheet 122cm x 244cm Dibond Printing for shopfronts, building elevations, development hoardings, industrial identification and any installation where the sign needs to stay flat, sharp and colour-accurate for years rather than months. At 1220mm x 2440mm, full-sheet Dibond Signs deliver rigidity that no other board in our range matches at this scale.
The distinction matters more here than at A-size. A small Foamex or Correx panel behaves adequately in most positions. A 32 sq ft panel does not — span, wind load and thermal movement all scale with area, and materials that hold their shape at A2 will bow, ripple or sag at full sheet. Aluminium composite is engineered precisely for this problem, which is why it dominates permanent large-format signage across the UK.
Full-Sheet Dimensions in Every Specification
Architects, sign installers and site managers each write this size differently. Every line below describes the same panel.
| Unit convention | Dimensions | Typically used by |
|---|---|---|
| Trade shorthand | 8×4 | Sign trade, fabricators, contractors |
| Feet | 4ft x 8ft | Site specification and materials ordering |
| Inches | 48in x 96in | Print and fabrication specification |
| Centimetres | 122cm x 244cm | Retail, exhibition and commercial briefs |
| Millimetres | 1220mm x 2440mm | Architectural drawings and CAD files |
| Area | 32 sq ft (2.97 m²) | Pricing and material calculation |
Why Choose Full-Sheet Printed Dibond Boards?
Our Printed Dibond Sheets use 3mm aluminium composite panel — sold interchangeably as ACP, ACM or under the Dibond brand — comprising two skins of genuine aluminium bonded either side of a solid polyethylene core. The construction behaves like sheet metal while weighing a fraction as much, and it is that combination which makes full-sheet installation practical.
Flatness across the span. A full sheet of Dibond fixed only at its edges stays flat. It will not bow in summer heat, will not ripple across its width, and will not sag over time. On a shopfront read from across a street, that flatness is the difference between a sign that looks specified and one that looks improvised.
Print quality at scale. The aluminium face is the flattest, smoothest substrate we print on. Consequently full-sheet Printed Di Bond holds sharper detail and truer colour than any other rigid board at 32 sq ft, with no fluting to catch light and no texture to interrupt the ink.
Lifespan. Aluminium does not absorb moisture, does not degrade under UV and does not chalk. A full-sheet Dibond fascia installed today will still read accurately in a decade — which is the entire argument for specifying it.
- Standard full-sheet size: 122cm x 244cm (1220mm x 2440mm / 8×4 / 48in x 96in)
- Material: 3mm weatherproof aluminium composite (Dibond / ACP / ACM)
- Area: 32 sq ft per sheet
- Applications: Shop fascias, building signage, development boards, industrial identification, exhibition walls
The Cost Argument for Full-Sheet Dibond
Aluminium composite carries the highest per-square-foot rate in our range, and at full sheet that difference is visible. It is worth setting against what it replaces.
A full-sheet Correx panel costs around £64 and serves perhaps eight to twelve months outdoors before replacement becomes sensible. A full-sheet Dibond panel costs £184.96 and serves a decade. Across ten years the Correx route means roughly ten replacement cycles plus ten sets of installation labour — and installation on a fascia or elevated position is rarely cheap. Measured over the life of the installation rather than the invoice, Dibond is usually the lower figure.
The reverse also holds. Where a sign genuinely has an end date — a twelve-week campaign, a seasonal display, a temporary site notice — Dibond is money spent on durability nobody will use. Specify by lifespan, not by instinct.
Full-Sheet Dibond Prices
A 122cm x 244cm sheet covers 32 sq ft, landing in a considerably cheaper per-sq-ft band than any A-size Dibond board — around £5.78 per sq ft against £12.98 at A4.
Single Full Sheet — 3mm Aluminium Composite
| Delivery service | Rate per sq ft | Full sheet price |
|---|---|---|
| Standard — 5 working days | £5.78 | £184.96 |
| 72 hour | £6.94 | £222.08 |
| 48 hour | £7.80 | £249.60 |
| 24 hour | £9.54 | £305.28 |
| Same-day collection | £11.56 | £369.92 |
Single-sided, unlaminated. Double-sided UV printing adds 15%; matt or gloss lamination adds 10%.
Multi-Sheet Rates
Because pricing bands by total order area and one sheet is already 32 sq ft, multi-panel Dibond orders move into cheaper bands quickly. A four-panel elevation or a six-bay hoarding scheme prices meaningfully better than four or six separate orders.
| Sheets | Total area | Rate | Total | Per sheet |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 32 sq ft | £5.78 | £184.96 | £184.96 |
| 2 | 64 sq ft | £5.68 | £363.52 | £181.76 |
| 3 | 96 sq ft | £5.67 | £544.32 | £181.44 |
| 4 | 128 sq ft | £5.66 | £724.48 | £181.12 |
| 6 | 192 sq ft | £5.64 | £1,082.88 | £180.48 |
| 10 | 320 sq ft | £5.62 | £1,798.40 | £179.84 |
Beyond the saving, ordering a multi-panel scheme as one job guarantees colour consistency across every sheet — something staged orders across different production runs cannot promise.
Supplying Artwork for Full-Sheet Custom Dibond Signs
Upload your artwork or use our in-house design service. Because Dibond holds finer detail than any other board at this size, it rewards well-prepared files.
- Accepted formats: PDF, AI, EPS, PSD, PNG, JPEG, TIFF
- Size: 1220mm x 2440mm (122cm x 244cm / 48in x 96in)
- Resolution: 150 DPI at full size for distance-read signage; 300 DPI where the panel will be viewed close up
- Bleed: 3–5mm on all four edges
- Colour Mode: CMYK for accurate print colours
- Fonts: outlined or converted to curves
- Large files via WeTransfer, Google Drive or Dropbox
For very large files, build artwork at 25% scale (305mm x 610mm) at 300 DPI. It prints identically at full size and stays manageable. Our pre-press team opens and checks every file before it reaches the press.
Delivery Options for Full-Sheet Dibond Printing
- Standard Delivery – 5 working days from artwork approval, no premium

- Same-Day Collection – from Bolton and London, up to two full sheets (64 sq ft), subject to daily capacity
Every turnaround begins at artwork approval rather than order placement.
Finishing Options for Full-Sheet Printed Dibond Sheets
Finishing is not optional at this scale. A 32 sq ft aluminium composite panel is heavy enough that drilling it on site, at height, is genuinely difficult — and one misplaced hole through a printed face is a £185 mistake.
- Straight cut edges – precision square-cut to full dimensions as standard, giving the clean machined edge Dibond is known for
- Drill holes, four corners – the standard specification for full-sheet exterior installation. Four-point fixing holds the panel flat against masonry, timber or a batten frame and prevents any twisting.
- Drill holes, top only – for interior panels hung from two fixings where no wind loading applies
- Eyelets, four corners – where the panel will be tensioned against Heras fencing or hoarding rather than screwed flat
- Eyelets, top only – for sheltered hanging positions
- Matt or gloss lamination – matt reduces glare on large interior panels under downlighting; gloss deepens colour and adds a further UV barrier outdoors
For any full-sheet exterior fascia we would specify four-corner drill holes as standard.
