Located at 1960 West Mission Road, Westside Choppers is a motorcycle dealership and repair shop. When this dealership needed exterior signage, the management team contacted All Star Signs for assistance. We discussed the advantage of exterior Dibond signs. With the client’s approval, we started the job.
Motorcycle Dealership Advertises and Brands with an Exterior Dibond Sign
Because it was time to upgrade the building’s signage, we suggested Dibond, which is a durable material. Our technicians cut the right sizing from the material. Next, we imprinted vinyl with the company’s name and logo. We then overlaid the Dibond with the digitally printed vinyl for extra durability. Finally, our installers mounted the sign to the façade, where it immediately catches the eye.
What is Dibond?
You may have heard the material name mentioned a lot. It is an aluminum composite that consists of two aluminum sheets with a polyethylene core in the middle. There are several advantages to using Dibond rather than a plain aluminum panel.
- Durability. Aluminum can bow. This is due to the material’s propensity for bending. In windy climates, the gradual bending of the aluminum can make the panel edges fold outward, which may then increase the likelihood of damage. Dibond does not bow in the same way.
- Weight. Although lightweight, aluminum can still be heavier than some substrates can handle. Because Dibond features the polyethylene core, it removes much of the weight component from the signage. Therefore, it is excellent for older buildings, fences, and similar structures that are not well suited for aluminum panel weight.
- Versatility. Take a page from the playbook of Westside Choppers, and ask our team to add a vinyl overlay to the material. However, this is not the only option that is open to you. Because the material is paintable, we can use it for signage panels in a rainbow of hues. Our technicians can also apply a router to cut grooves into the material that we then fill with paint for a great-looking panel sign.
