Overview

Our A2 dibond sign printing is for anyone who needs a board that looks sharp and lasts the job.

Good jobs for it

Right for long-term outdoor signs, fascias and fence signs. Exhibitors use them as stand graphics that do not need a frame. Landlords and building managers use them for rules, notices and directions.

Sizes

A2 dibond sign printing comes like this: it comes in one size, A2. A-sizes cover most jobs: A3 for doors, A2 and A1 for walls, bigger sizes for outside.

A2 dibond sign printing: what it is made of

The material is 3mm Dibond (aluminium composite, the long-life outdoor board). On top of that you can pick printing on one side or both, gloss (one side), none or matt (one side), drilled holes for screwing it up and cutting to shape.

Foamex fixes with screws, sticky pads or Velcro and is best indoors. Dibond is the outdoor one: it stays flat and weatherproof for years.

From file to doorstep

Upload your own file, lay it out in the online designer, or hand it to our paid artwork service, which includes 1 design and 2 rounds of changes. A person gives every file a free check first. Standard production is 6 working days from when your order and artwork are confirmed. Express gets it done from 5 working days. Saver takes 8 and is there if you are not in a rush. Your A2 dibond sign printing is made to order and dispatched from the UK.

Put up outdoors, a banner, board or flag counts as an advertisement under the Town and Country Planning (Control of Advertisements) (England) Regulations 2007. Most small ones need no application, but the council can tell you if yours does.

We charge £7.95 to send it anywhere on the UK mainland, and nothing once your goods come to £100 or more after discounts. The Highlands add £10, and addresses in Northern Ireland, the Scottish islands, the Isle of Man, the Channel Islands, Scilly or the Isle of Wight get a quote. Full details are on the delivery page.

Questions

Quick answers about a2 dibond sign printing.

What is the turnaround on my A2 Dibond sign order?

On Standard it is made and handed to the courier within 6 working days; Express shortens that to 5 working days, Saver stretches it to 8 working days for less. The clock starts once your order is placed and the file is confirmed. Spend £100 on goods (design fees are not counted) and UK mainland delivery is free; otherwise it is £7.95 once.

Can I order several signs at once?

Yes. Anything from 1 up to 1,000 is priced on this page. The price per piece usually drops as the number goes up, which helps clubs and shops ordering in bulk. Postage to the UK mainland is £7.95 per basket, not per item, and free when your goods total £100 or more.

Will someone look at my file before the A2 Dibond sign is printed?

Yes. A person checks every file you upload before printing starts. Paid help is there too: a clean layout from your text and logo (£15), a design from your brief (£35) or a logo redraw (£30), each with one first draft and two rounds of changes.

What happens after I order?

FatPrint receives it, a person checks your file, then your A2 Dibond sign is made to order and handed to the courier. You get tracking by email the day it ships. If anything needs changing, message us from the Contact page.

Can I check the cost before I order?

It starts at £49.98, the cheapest combination, and changes as you pick options. The price you see is the price you pay at checkout. Goods worth £100 or more travel free to a UK mainland address; below that, delivery is a flat £7.95 for the whole order.

What can I choose when ordering an A2 Dibond sign?

You can set the A2 (420 × 594 mm) size, material (3mm Di-Bond), sides printed (single sided or double sided), lamination (gloss one side, none or matt one side), drilling (all corners, no or top corners) and profile cut (no or yes). The price updates with each choice, so you can compare before paying.

Asked by buyers

How cheaply can I get hold of A2 Dibond Signs?

Picked the way the page first loads, with 3mm Di-Bond, A2 · 420 × 594 mm and single Sided, A2 Dibond Signs come to £49.98. Any other mix of options, a faster turnaround included, gets its own price the moment you choose it, and that figure is what you pay at checkout. Only delivery is left to add. On its own the opening price of £49.98 would add £7.95 for mainland delivery; reach £100 of goods and that goes to zero.

Is delivery extra on top of the price of A2 Dibond Signs?

Send it to a UK mainland address for a flat £7.95, or for free when the goods in the basket add up to £100 or more after discounts; artwork and design charges do not count towards that. An order of just this at the opening price of £49.98 is under £100, so it pays the £7.95. We price delivery first for Northern Ireland and for the Isle of Wight, the Channel Islands, Scilly, the Scottish islands and the Isle of Man; Highland addresses on the mainland just pay £10 extra, one time per order.

Which turnaround speeds can I choose for A2 Dibond Signs?

Allow 8 working days on Saver, 6 on Standard or 5 on Express before A2 Dibond Signs are handed to the courier, based on the options the page opens with. Weekends and bank holidays are not counted, and nothing starts until the order is paid and the artwork is confirmed. Pick another size or material and the days beside each speed update, sometimes by a day. After it leaves us, the courier normally delivers in one to three working days and you get the tracking link by email.

Which artwork services are offered with A2 Dibond Signs?

Several routes, all chosen under Artwork on this page. Send your own finished file (no charge), we set your words and logo on a tidy layout, called typesetting (£15), we design it from your brief (£35), we redraw a blurry or low quality logo as sharp vector art (£30) or we create a brand new logo (£50). Typesetting and design from a brief each come with one first draft and two rounds of changes. The fee is the same whatever quantity you order and shows separately in the basket. There is also a free online designer if you want to build it yourself. Make the artwork for these signs the same size as the one you order, such as A2 (420 × 594 mm).

Is the online designer free, and how do I use it?

Pick a starting layout, swap in your own words, logo and pictures, and move things around until it looks right. While you work, the tool flags sample text you forgot to change, small text, items outside the safe area and blurry images, before you can finish. It is free to use and the on-screen watermark does not print. What you see is what we print. Make the artwork for these signs the same size as the one you order, such as A2 (420 × 594 mm).

Which sheet material goes into these signs?

You can have A2 Dibond Signs made on 3mm Di-Bond. Dibond, an aluminium composite, keeps flat and rigid in all weathers and is the pick for permanent outdoor signs. Still torn between two? Type the question into the box on this page and a person will reply.

How big are A2 Dibond Signs?

It measures A2 (420 × 594 mm) and costs from £49.98. If that is not quite right for your space, the A3 Dibond Signs or the Foamex Boards may fit better. Spend £100 on goods and mainland delivery is free; below that it is £7.95. Other settings on the page, such as quantity, adjust the total as you go.

Can I leave these signs outside?

Out of doors, the board decides how long A2 Dibond Signs last. Dibond is built for long spells outdoors. Adding the gloss or matt laminate helps the printed face resist scuffs. All print fades gradually in strong sunlight, so if a sign is staying up for a long time, point it away from the midday sun where you can.

How do people usually fix up these signs?

Putting up A2 Dibond Signs takes very little kit. Holes can come ready made: choose all corners or top corners under Drilling when you order. Then screws with washers for a wall, tightened gently. If the wall is smooth and indoors, double-sided foam tape or sticky pads avoid drilling altogether.

I am not a business. Can I buy just one of these signs?

Of course. Anyone can order, with no trade account and no minimum beyond one. Prices for A2 Dibond Signs begin at £49.98, checkout works without an account and you pay by card. Parents, clubs, churches and small shops order single items all the time. On its own the opening price of £49.98 would add £7.95 for mainland delivery; reach £100 of goods and that goes to zero.

Could the total go up after I reach the checkout?

No surprises: what the page shows for these signs is the goods figure you pay at checkout. Delivery is the one extra, £7.95 to a UK mainland address, and it drops away when the goods reach £100 after discounts. Paid artwork help shows up as its own basket line, so you can check each amount before paying. Nothing is printed ahead of time: each sign is made to order for you. For reference, these signs measure A2 (420 × 594 mm).

How many A2 Dibond Signs can I buy at one time?

Anything from 1 to 1000. The quantity choices on the page run 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8, and upwards. The figure shown is for the whole batch, not for one, so divide it by the number you picked to see the cost of each. If you need more than 1000, send the size, number and date through our Get a quote page. For reference, these signs measure A2 (420 × 594 mm).

Do you send to Northern Ireland or the islands?

Yes, anywhere in the UK, though the price differs by area. A Highlands postcode on the mainland pays the usual rate plus a single £10 for the order, and that £10 still applies when the rest of the delivery is free. Northern Ireland gets a price worked out first, as do the Isle of Wight, the Channel Islands, Scilly, the Scottish islands and the Isle of Man: send your postcode through our Get a quote page or the Contact page. We cannot send anything outside the UK. Before delivery, these signs cost from £49.98.

Our event is close. Can A2 Dibond Signs be rushed?

Yes. Choose Express and A2 Dibond Signs can be on the way in 5 working days on the opening option, for £66.64, where Saver is £49.98 and takes 8 days. Then give the courier one to three working days, and send the artwork with the order, because the clock does not run until the file is sorted. If the date is really tight, message us on the Contact page before paying and we will tell you honestly.

Someone else is putting our file together. How does it reach you?

Easiest route: they send the finished file to whoever placed the order, and it gets uploaded after ordering. Up to 3 files of 25 MB each are fine. They can also reach us through the Contact page, as long as they quote your order number so it lands on the right job. Production waits for the checked file, so a late file means a later dispatch date. For reference, these signs measure A2 (420 × 594 mm).

How many pixels does a photo need to print well on these signs?

Close-up items need about 300 dpi at full size. So an A2 (420 × 594 mm) layout wants about 4,961 by 7,016 pixels. Keep lettering and logos as vectors if you can. An image copied off a web page or a social post rarely has enough pixels; if yours looks likely to print soft, our file check flags it. For reference, these signs measure A2 (420 × 594 mm).

Can I send a Word or Canva file for A2 Dibond Signs?

Word, PowerPoint and Canva are a fair place to start, but export a high quality PDF from them before uploading. Our first choice is always a PDF at the ordered size with fonts embedded or outlined, followed by AI, EPS or SVG, then high resolution JPG, PNG or TIFF. You can add three files, each up to 25 MB, on this page, or upload them after ordering from the email we send. For reference, these signs measure A2 (420 × 594 mm).

I am not a designer. What if the file I send turns out to be unusable?

That is why a person looks at every upload before anything is printed. Typical snags are a document at the wrong size, missing bleed, blurry photos and words sitting too near the trim. If we spot one, we explain what to change and you send a fresh file. Or hand it over to us: for £15 our typesetting places your wording and logo on a neat layout, with one first draft and two rounds of changes. Make the artwork for these signs the same size as the one you order, such as A2 (420 × 594 mm).

Once I finish designing these signs online, is the file mine to keep?

Two ways. Buy the file on its own: finish your design and pay £9.99 for the print-ready PDF, though you give up the right to cancel as soon as you start downloading it. Or order printing, and a full resolution PDF of the design travels with the order, waiting for you in your confirmation email and under My Account once you have paid. Make the artwork for these signs the same size as the one you order, such as A2 (420 × 594 mm).

Does the sides printed option I choose make a difference to A2 Dibond Signs?

The sides printed option has 2 settings: double Sided or single Sided. One side means the design appears on the front only. Two sides puts print on both faces, handy when people approach from either direction, for example a flag on a pole or a sign that faces two ways. Switch between them on the page and the total updates straight away, so you can see what each one adds. We print these signs on 3mm Di-Bond.

Lamination on A2 Dibond Signs: how do the choices differ?

The lamination option has 3 settings: matt (One Side), none or gloss (One Side). A laminate is a very thin clear layer sealed over the print. Gloss gives richer, punchier colour; matt takes the shine away so photos and text are easier to read under lights; soft touch feels smooth, almost like velvet. Whichever you pick, the surface copes better with scuffs. Switch between them on the page and the total updates straight away, so you can see what each one adds. We print these signs on 3mm Di-Bond.

Can these signs have print on the front and the back?

They can: switch Sides Printed to double sided for A2 Dibond Signs. Two-way printing makes sense for boards seen coming and going, such as one hanging on a fence beside a lane, or pushed into a lawn on a stake. Send two pages, front then back, and tell us if the back is simply a copy of the front.

Can you explain the profile cut setting for A2 Dibond Signs?

A profile cut follows the edge of your artwork, so the board ends up shaped like your design rather than a plain oblong. Put a cut line in your file, or tell us and we will add one. For A2 Dibond Signs the list runs yes or no. Try each one on the page: the figure changes as you click, so the cost of every choice is clear.

Could we put these signs up on a building site or around works?

They work on site hoardings and cabins. Whoever puts them up should tie off every fixing point firmly and check again once the wind has been blowing. We print these signs on 3mm Di-Bond. Different products can share one basket, and delivery is free once the goods reach £100.

I run a small shop. Would these signs work on the front of it?

A cafe, salon, market stall or corner shop can put these signs to good use out front. Fixed to the fascia or wall with screws, a printed board makes a tidy shop sign. For scale, A2 (420 × 594 mm) is £49.98. Large or lit signs may need advertisement consent from the council, and your landlord may have a say.

We have a school fair coming up. Would these signs be suitable?

Yes. Tie them to railings, a fence or a gazebo, or stand them on an easel. If you are outside and the wind picks up, check the fixings again during the day. Leave time for making and delivery before the date of the fair. We print these signs on 3mm Di-Bond.

We are putting up a full set of signs at our premises. Which ones sit well next to this one?

A school corridor, a shop floor or a club house rarely needs just one notice. Two that often go up beside this one: Foamex Boards and A3 Dibond Signs. Keep every sign in one board type so the set matches, look up sizes and prices on each page, then check out once: one delivery charge for the whole basket, free over £100 of goods. We print these signs on 3mm Di-Bond.

Could these signs do the job at a community garden or an allotment gate?

A2 Dibond Signs can do it, if you match the board to how long the sign stays up. A permanent sign on the gate or fence is best in Dibond, which stays flat and copes with the weather for years. Ask for holes drilled in all corners or top corners and the board arrives ready for cable ties or screws.

How do I pick the right drilling for A2 Dibond Signs?

With drilling, the corners arrive with holes already made, so the board can go straight up with screws or cable ties and you never need to get the drill out. For A2 Dibond Signs the list runs top corners, no or all corners. Try each one on the page: the figure changes as you click, so the cost of every choice is clear.

Where do A2 Dibond Signs and Foamex Boards differ?

Set A2 Dibond Signs beside Foamex Boards and a few things differ. Material: 3mm Di-Bond on this page, against 10mm Foamex, 5mm Foamex or 3mm Foamex on the other. Sizes: only A2 (420 × 594 mm) on this page, and 11 on the other, the smallest A4 (210 × 297 mm). Opening price: £49.98 on this page and £20.91 on the other. On the Standard service it is 6 working days on this page and 3 on the other. Go by the spot it is going in and how long it needs to last, then open both pages and compare the live totals.

How would I decide between A1 Foamex Boards and A2 Dibond Signs?

Set A2 Dibond Signs beside A1 Foamex Boards and a few things differ. Material: 3mm Di-Bond on this page, against 5mm Foamex or 3mm Foamex on the other. Sizes: only A2 (420 × 594 mm) on this page, and only A1 (594 × 841 mm) on the other. Opening price: £49.98 on this page and £52.80 on the other. Go by the spot it is going in and how long it needs to last, then open both pages and compare the live totals.

I am not sure which options to pick for these signs. Can someone advise me?

Yes. Type your question into the box on this page and a real person replies. Mention where the sign will be used, how long you need it to last and the date you need it by. Answered questions may be shown on the page for other buyers, so leave personal details out of it. Private questions can go through the Contact page, and anything the options here cannot price can go through the Get a quote page. Nothing is printed ahead of time: each sign is made to order for you.

We need a few different designs. Do they each need their own order?

No. Each design goes into the basket as a separate line with its own file or online design, and you pay for them all in one checkout. Delivery is counted once for the whole order and costs nothing when the goods reach £100. If two lines share the same artwork, pick the artwork option that reuses a file already in your basket, so any design fee is only paid once. Nothing is printed ahead of time: each sign is made to order for you.

Who looks after me once I have bought A2 Dibond Signs?

FatPrint does, from start to finish. We take your order and payment, a person on our team checks your file, and A2 Dibond Signs are made to order for you rather than taken off a shelf. It then goes to you by courier, with tracking sent by email. Questions before or after ordering go through the box on this page or the Contact page, and a person replies.

Can I pay for A2 Dibond Signs by card as a guest?

Yes. Guest checkout is fine, and any debit or credit card works. Stripe processes the payment for us, which keeps your card number off our system entirely. We begin making these signs once the payment has cleared and the artwork is confirmed. Large or out of the ordinary jobs can be quoted first from the Get a quote page. Nothing is printed ahead of time: each sign is made to order for you. For reference, these signs measure A2 (420 × 594 mm).

Do I pay delivery on each item in my basket?

No. One delivery charge covers the whole basket, so adding A2 Dibond Signs to other items does not add a second one. It is £7.95 to a UK mainland address and nothing once the goods total £100 after any discount code. Using the same design on two items? Pick the reuse-artwork option on the second one and you pay the artwork fee just once. Each line keeps its own size and quantity.

I have spotted a typo after paying. Can it be fixed?

Tell us quickly through the Contact page, quoting your order number. Before production starts we can take a corrected file, or cancel and refund the whole order. After that it cannot be changed. A print that matches your finished design or the file you sent is not a fault, so it pays to read every word and number before you order. Nothing is printed ahead of time: each sign is made to order for you.

Should I send my file as RGB or CMYK?

CMYK if you can. An RGB file gets converted to CMYK for printing, and vivid greens, blues and oranges may lose a little brightness on the way. Have a Pantone number for your brand colour? Tell us and we match it as near as the material lets us. Expect a small shift between screen and print either way: a screen shines light at you, while printed items reflect it. For reference, these signs measure A2 (420 × 594 mm).

Which mistakes does the online designer warn me about?

Five things: placeholder wording still sitting in the layout, lettering smaller than will print clearly, anything creeping past the safe area or right up to the trim, logos or photos with too few pixels for the size, and shapes lying on top of words. A serious issue has to be sorted before you finish, while a plain warning can be accepted if you are happy with it. Your spelling is not read, so go over names, numbers and dates yourself. Make the artwork for these signs the same size as the one you order, such as A2 (420 × 594 mm).

Can I design these signs first and show the committee before we pay?

You can. Designing online costs nothing until you order, so make a draft, show it to the group and tweak it as often as you like. The on-screen watermark is only there on the preview and is never printed. The designer flags things like small text or low-resolution photos as you go, but it cannot catch a wrong date, so have a second person read it. Make the artwork for these signs the same size as the one you order, such as A2 (420 × 594 mm).
