I wonder of its called Max Metal in Australia??? Cant see it here anywhere

Thanks mate!!!

thanks for replying jfought. i will look into this max metal. is it readily available? how do u have to prep aluminum composite?

from further research, i think all these signs are made on vinyl applied to aluminum composite sheets right?

I just saw the sign making company quoted on Aluminum Composite material. Im not sure if they direct print them or also use vinyl. Is vinyl good on aluminum composite? Hope you can help. Thanks Robert

Hi guys We are starting a 2nd side business that flows in well with our main business, we are researching in buying the Roland Versacamm VS300 printer/cutter. We need to make a promo sign for the front of our shop, a sign on 2 steel poles, we got some quotes for an aluminum laminated promo sign but I was wondering if we could/should do it ourselves when we have the VS 300. Is it possible or the norm to apply vinyl to a sheet of metal of some sort? Sorry if its a silly question but i couldnt find info on this. If its perfectly normal to do it, i would imagine we would: 1. print/cut the design to size to match the metal 2. Laminate it also for added protection 3. apply it to the metal 4. bolt it to a timber of some sort when applying it to the steel poles is this correct or doesnt vinyl apply well to metal? is aluminum good for vinyl? or is there a better cheaper metal to use for applying vinyl for signage? thnaks guys. if my idea is normal, i will post up some pics when its done but i need some guidance on this 1st.
