Sign Panel Color Chart ALUMALITE, ECONOLITE, D-LITE, PRO-LITE* L U ST E R B OA R D, A N D S I G N P LY * White Ivory Sand Beige Raven Black Ivy Green Brite Yellow Sunset Red Candy Apple Red Royal Blue Silver Metallic Regal Bronze Matte Black OMEGA-BOND White Light Ivory Silver Black Green Yellow Red Blue Brushed Silver Brushed Gold Brushed Bronze Bronze Metallic Colors shown are as close to actual painted sign panels as possible. Please call for color chip samples if needed. Colors subject to availability. Check with your local distributor for availability. Color variation is a characteristic of aluminum composite panels with brushed aluminum and metallic paint finishes, and can vary on material purchased from different lots. In addition, grain direction of brushed aluminum and metallic paint finishes must be considered in the design of the panel installation. Opposing grain directions may create visible patterns and may not be acceptable in the finished project. Laminators does not warrant a color match for these panels. *Colors available by special order 14
Fabrication Services Let Laminators handle your sign fabrication services needs. As manufacturers and fabricators of sign panels, we understand all the nuances of fabricating for time- and cost-efficiency. Save on time and labor costs by having us fabricate your digital print-ready sign panel products. In many cases you may not be utilizing the entirety of an ACM panel—you're cutting, bending, shaping, contouring, and so much more. We'll cut, rout, and bend the panels to the exact specifications needed for the project. Because the panels are being fabricated by the same company that manufactures them, we understand the best way to provide superior looking, ready-to-install panels each and every time.

Sign Applications Choosing the right materials for any sign application can be a major obstacle. The sign products are a fundamental part of the overall vision. It is important to choose your materials in the design phase so that you can prepare for any special requirements, such as lighting, mounting, or curved walls. In addition, exterior signage requires more durable materials that are fade resistant and can withstand strong weather conditions. The final products should give off a professional, yet comfortable feel to those that use them. Laminators sign products do just that! Our panels are easy to install and can be fabricated simply with standard carpentry tools. Available in multiple colors — factory-baked polyester painted aluminum faces add high-gloss brilliance and rigidity; warranted not to crack, chip, flake, or peel. Sign Panel Production Guide The Sign Panel Production Guide provides updated technical information including additional illustrations and step-by-step instructions. It covers the best practices from panel handling, storage, prep and set-up to cleaning, cutting, routing and installing/mounting our panels. The guide also outlines how to apply vinyl, films and paints as well as digital and screen printing applications. Visit LaminatorsInc.com to download the Sign Panel Production Guide.
