Acrylic and DiBond

At Third & Wall we have the two primary ACRYLIC options: FaceMounts and Direct Print.

Maximum acrylic sheet size 48×96”. Larger sizes and different colors can sometimes be special-ordered; ask your Account Manager or Customer Service for more information.

FACEMOUNT ACRYLIC is created with our images printed on semi-matte paper with stable pigment-based inks, and the print is applied to the back of a clear acrylic sheet.
• Acrylic thickness default is 1/4”.  1/8” and 1/2” acrylic thicknesses are available upon request.
• Standard orders come with smooth finished edges. Flame-polished edges are available for an additional fee.
• 0.33mm ACM is generally the default backing for acrylics. Other backings such as styrene can be applied upon request.

DIRECT PRINT ACRYLIC is created with our images printed directly onto the back or front of the acrylic.
• Thickness default is 1/4”.  1/8” and 1/2” acrylic thicknesses are available.
• Standard orders come with finished edges. Flame-polished edges are available for an additional fee.
•  3mm ACM is generally the default backing for acrylics. Other backings such as styrene can be applied upon request.

ACM (Aluminum Composite Material) is formed by sandwiching two thin metal sheets around a sheet of black Sintra to create an elegant, rigid substrate. The images are printed directly onto the surface, which allows you to choose between a solid image or allowing some metal to show through.

• Standard orders come with a brushed aluminum surface, but other finishes and colors are available.

• 1/8” rounded corners are the default, but straight corners are available upon request.
• The standard maximum sheet size is 48 x 96” but larger sizes may be available; check with your 3&W Account Manager or Customer Service for more information.
