Satin Silk Polyester is an extra smooth outdoor flag type material that is super strong and classified for signage. We do not use low grade materials and call it sign quality. Be aware that thickness is not relevant to Satin Silk Polyester, it is strength that must be purchased.
After printing, the material is placed in a steam hot box to cure the ink throughout the fibers. This changes colors to give a more vibrant look and embeds the ink for outdoor use. We do this for both indoor and outdoor so that you can wash the material if needed with cold water.
Mesh Banner Tiny Holes. This material is stronger than a normal banner. The cross dot pattern make tearing almost impossible. The ink coverage is 85% normal material so colors remain vibrant. Be careful when considering a mesh material. Many are a polypropylene mix that will not last. Price should not be a consideration when comparing mesh banner printing results.
Colorbond Metal is a durable metal that is baked enamel both sides. 0.6mm thick, it is perfect for fixing to a building, a fence, a timber or metal frame. Guillotined to size, the max sheet is 2400 x 1200. For larger sizes, we give you a 30mm underlap between sheets to make a larger panel.
Colorbond is a BlueScope BHP product and is similar to the material on a house roof without the rolling curves. The signage product is called 'BlueScope Signwhite' coated specifically for the signage industry.
Our most popular long term material, This

Corflute (also known as Multiflute,
Corrugated Plastic, Flute Board) is a great product base for making
short term and mid term signs. We can apply letters, decals, digital
prints and the full range of signage techniques to Corflute. Go here for
more examples.
Corflute Tips:
Corflute used by Australia Signs is 5mm. If you need 3mm, please let us know.
Corflute Tips: Sheet size is 2400 x 1200 with a flute direction
horizontal along the 2400. If you have a special size consider the
direction of these flutes when ordering. If you can keep sizing
increments of 300mm, you will get more signage from a sheet.
Aluminium Sign. The thickness of the
Aluminium is chosen by the sign production team depending on the overall
size of the sign you need. Lightweight, it is perfect for all weather
conditions and where a 'no frame' situation suits better. Please type
into the calculator the size you need, the production team will help you
with the final thickness.
Aluminium is either guillotined or laser cut to size, shape, letters
etc.
Acrylic (also known as Perspex,
Plexiglas etc) is fantastic for indoor signage and outdoor laser cut or
panel work. The Calculator shows different thicknesses used more so for
panel work. If you need a laser cut specialty sign with different
treatments, Please go to QSonline.
Acrylic Tips: All acrylic used by Australia
Signs is UV Stable. This is a very important tip because many are not
suitable for direct sunlight and would typically be used for shop
fitting displays. Be careful when ordering any plastic.

There is a
difference between Self Adhesive Letters and Decals.
Letters are letters, Decals are full digital prints in multi color with
a protective laminate applied. The Decal can be lifted away from its
backing paper and applied as a full sheet. Letters are lifted away
pre-spaced in line or group sections. Decals are printed, Letters are
Cut.
We have posted a video tutorial on applying Vinyl Self Adhesive letters here.
Decals are printed onto a full sheet
of self adhesive outdoor grade vinyl and laminated with a protective
clear. You can ask for either gloss or sheen laminate at no extra cost.
