Questions
Buyer questions about this product, answered. Can't see yours? Ask below and our team will reply.
What size are A1 Dibond Signs?
A1 Dibond Signs are A1 (594 × 841 mm), from £79.75. For other sizes see A2 Dibond Signs, A3 Dibond Signs or Foamex Boards. The price updates live as you choose the other options. Every listed size and its price is in the Prices by size table on this page.
Which board material is right for these signs?
A1 Dibond Signs are printed on 3mm Di-Bond. Our Foamex vs Dibond vs Correx guide compares them side by side. Each option is priced live, so you can compare before you add to basket. If you are unsure which option suits your job, ask a question on this page or call 0161 315 1151.
Can A1 Dibond Signs go outside?
A laminate adds scuff resistance to the printed face. Every print fades slowly in strong sun, so face long-term signs away from full sun where you can. A1 Dibond Signs are printed on 3mm Di-Bond. Ask a question on this page if you are unsure it suits your location.
What artwork options are there for A1 Dibond Signs?
The Artwork choice on this page offers: "I will upload print-ready artwork" (free), "Add my text and logo to a clean layout (typesetting)" (£15), "Design it for me from my brief" (£35), "Redraw or vectorise my logo from a low-res file" (£50) and "Design a new logo for me" (£100). Design fees are fixed, show as their own line in the basket and cover the whole quantity of that item. Typesetting includes 1 proof and 2 rounds of changes; design from your brief includes 1 design and 2 rounds of changes. You can also design it yourself in the online designer at no charge.
How does the online designer work?
Yes. Open the designer from this page, pick a starting layout, add your logo, text and photos, and move things around on the canvas. Checks run as you work: sample text left in, text that is too small, items outside the safe area and low resolution images are flagged before you can approve. You approve exactly what you see, then add it to the basket. Designing and previewing is free; the on-screen preview carries a small watermark that is never printed. For A1 Dibond Signs, set your file up at the size you order, for example A1 (594 × 841 mm).
What is the cheapest price for A1 Dibond Signs?
The lowest price is £79.75, which is what the calculator opens on: material 3mm Di-Bond, size A1 · 594 × 841 mm and Sides Printed Single Sided. Every other combination is priced as you choose it, including faster turnaround, and that price is final because we do not add VAT. UK mainland delivery is £7.95 per order and free when your goods total is £99 or more after any discount code (artwork and design fees do not count towards it).
How quickly can I get A1 Dibond Signs?
Saver is ready to dispatch in 8 working days, Standard in 6 and Express in 5, counted in working days (Monday to Friday, not bank holidays) from when your order and artwork are confirmed. The exact figure for your chosen size and options shows beside each turnaround in the calculator. Courier delivery usually takes 1 to 3 working days after dispatch, and we email the tracking details when the parcel leaves us. On the opening option, A1 Dibond Signs are ready to dispatch in 8 working days on Saver or 5 on Express.
How much is delivery for A1 Dibond Signs?
UK mainland delivery is £7.95 per order and free when your goods total is £99 or more after any discount code (artwork and design fees do not count towards it), so one sign at £79.75 on its own pays £7.95, and the charge disappears once your basket reaches £99. Mainland Scottish Highlands postcodes add £10 once per order. Northern Ireland, the Scottish islands, the Isle of Man, the Channel Islands, the Isles of Scilly and the Isle of Wight are quoted before you order.
Which profile cut should I choose for these signs?
You can choose no or yes. Profile cut means the board is cut to the outline of your design instead of a plain rectangle. Supply the cut line with your artwork, or ask us to set it up. Each choice changes the price live in the calculator, so you can compare before you add to basket. A1 Dibond Signs are printed on 3mm Di-Bond.
Can A1 Dibond Signs be printed on both sides?
Yes. Choose single Sided or double Sided in the options. Double sided suits boards seen from both directions, such as a sign on a fence by a road, or a board on a stake. Supply two pages in your file (front and back), and say if the back should be the same design. A1 Dibond Signs are printed on 3mm Di-Bond.
What lamination options are there for A1 Dibond Signs?
You can choose gloss (One Side), none or matt (One Side). Lamination is a thin clear film over the print. Gloss makes colours look richer, matt cuts glare and suits photos and writing, and soft touch gives a velvety feel. It also helps the surface resist scuffs. Each choice changes the price live in the calculator, so you can compare before you add to basket. A1 Dibond Signs are printed on 3mm Di-Bond.
Which sides printed should I choose for these signs?
You can choose single Sided or double Sided. Single sided is printed on one face. Double sided prints both faces, for items seen from both directions, such as a flag or a board facing two ways. Each choice changes the price live in the calculator, so you can compare before you add to basket. A1 Dibond Signs are printed on 3mm Di-Bond.
What does the drilling option mean on A1 Dibond Signs?
You can choose all corners, no or top corners. Drilling puts fixing holes in the corners so you can screw or cable tie the board straight up, instead of drilling it yourself. Each choice changes the price live in the calculator, so you can compare before you add to basket. A1 Dibond Signs are printed on 3mm Di-Bond.
What resolution does my artwork need for these signs?
For items read close up, aim for 300 dpi at the finished size. At 300 dpi an A1 (594 × 841 mm) design needs about 7,016 × 9,933 pixels. Logos and text are best as vector artwork, which stays sharp at any size. Photos taken from websites or social media are usually far too small; our file check flags images that may print soft.
Can my designer send the file straight to you?
Yes. You can upload your file on the product page, or place the order and upload later: we email you after you order. Your designer can send the file to us by email or WhatsApp with your order number, so it does not have to come through you. The turnaround clock starts once your order and artwork are confirmed, so send the file early if you have a deadline. A1 Dibond Signs are A1 (594 × 841 mm).
Which file types do you accept for A1 Dibond Signs?
A PDF at the finished size is best, with fonts embedded or converted to outlines. We also take AI, EPS and SVG, and high resolution JPG, PNG or TIFF files. Word, PowerPoint and Canva files are fine as a starting point, but export a full-quality PDF if you can. You can upload up to 3 files of 25 MB each on the product page, or upload later: we email you after you order. For A1 Dibond Signs, set your file up at the size you order, for example A1 (594 × 841 mm).
What happens if my file is not good enough to print?
Our file check catches the usual problems: the wrong size, no bleed, low resolution images and text too close to the edge. We tell you what needs fixing before anything is printed, and you can send a new file. If you would rather we sort it, the typesetting option (£15, 1 proof and 2 rounds of changes) sets your text and logo on a clean layout. For A1 Dibond Signs, set your file up at the size you order, for example A1 (594 × 841 mm).
Do I get the print file of my design?
Yes. When you order printing with a design made in our online designer, the high resolution PDF is attached to your order, and once the order is paid you can download it from My Account and your confirmation email. If you only want the file and no printing, approve the design and buy the print-ready PDF for £9.99. It is digital content, so the right to cancel ends once the download starts. For A1 Dibond Signs, set your file up at the size you order, for example A1 (594 × 841 mm).
What quantities can I order?
The quantity is part of the options: from 1 up to 1000 (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8 and more). The price shown is the total for the quantity you pick, so divide by the quantity to compare the price each before you order. For a bigger run than the options list, ask for a quote with the size, quantity and deadline. A1 Dibond Signs start at £79.75 before delivery.
Will the price change at checkout?
Only delivery is added. The goods price you see in the calculator is final, with no VAT added. UK mainland delivery is £7.95 per order and free when your goods total is £99 or more after any discount code (artwork and design fees do not count towards it). Any artwork or design fee you choose shows as its own line in the basket, so you can see exactly what you are paying for. A1 Dibond Signs are A1 (594 × 841 mm).
Can you deliver to Northern Ireland, the Highlands or the islands?
Yes, with a difference in price. Mainland Scottish Highlands postcodes, for example around Inverness, Fort William, Oban and Thurso, pay the mainland rate plus £10 once per order, even when the order qualifies for free delivery. Northern Ireland, the Scottish islands, the Isle of Man, the Channel Islands, the Isles of Scilly and the Isle of Wight are quoted before you order: use Get a quote or call 0161 315 1151. We do not deliver outside the UK. A1 Dibond Signs start at £79.75 before delivery.
I have a deadline. Is there a faster option for these signs?
Yes. Express makes these signs ready to dispatch in 5 working days on the opening option, priced at £106.32 against £79.75 on Saver (8 days). To plan back from a date, add 1 to 3 working days for the courier after dispatch and allow for artwork: production starts once your order and artwork are confirmed. If the date is very tight, call 0161 315 1151 before you order.
What is the difference between A1 Dibond Signs and A2 Dibond Signs?
A1 Dibond Signs come in A1 (594 × 841 mm); A2 Dibond Signs comes in A2 (420 × 594 mm). Prices start at £79.75 and £52.61 respectively. Pick the one whose size and material fit where it will go; both pages show live prices for every option.
A1 Dibond Signs or Foamex Boards: which should I choose?
A1 Dibond Signs use 3mm Di-Bond, while Foamex Boards uses 3mm Foamex, 5mm Foamex and 10mm Foamex. A1 Dibond Signs come in A1 (594 × 841 mm); Foamex Boards has 11 from A4 (210 × 297 mm). Prices start at £79.75 and £22.01 respectively. Standard turnaround is 6 working days against 3. Pick the one whose size and material fit where it will go; both pages show live prices for every option.
Are these signs suitable for a building site?
Yes, for signs on hoardings and cabins. Fix it firmly: cable ties through every eyelet or hole, and check it after windy weather. Our construction site signage guide lists what a typical site entrance needs. A1 Dibond Signs are printed on 3mm Di-Bond.
Would these signs work at an event or fair?
Yes, tied to railings, fencing or a gazebo, or fixed to an easel or stand. Outdoors, check the ties or base again if the wind gets up. Order early enough to allow for turnaround and delivery before the date. A1 Dibond Signs are printed on 3mm Di-Bond.
What other signs go with the A1 Dibond Signs?
Signs that are often needed alongside it include A2 Dibond Signs, A3 Dibond Signs, Foamex Boards and A1 Foamex Boards. Each has its own page with sizes, materials and live prices, and ordering them in the same material keeps a set looking consistent. Add them to one basket: delivery is charged once, and it is free once the goods total reaches £99. A1 Dibond Signs are printed on 3mm Di-Bond.
Can I use these signs on a shop front?
Yes. A printed board screwed to the wall or fascia makes a tidy shop sign. For example, A1 (594 × 841 mm) from £79.75. Check with your landlord, and with the council if the sign is large or lit, because shop signs can need advertisement consent.
What material do A1 Dibond Signs come with?
A1 Dibond Signs come with 3mm Di-Bond. This is the material the item is printed on. The calculator shows the price and working days for your size and quantity. Each option is priced live, so you can compare before you add to basket.
Will these signs be easy to read for people with poor sight?
Strong contrast, a plain bold typeface and a size to suit the viewing distance make the biggest difference. Our standard safety sign designs use the high-contrast colour pairs set by the safety sign scheme. Place signs at eye level, well lit and without glare, and keep the wording short. A1 Dibond Signs are A1 (594 × 841 mm).
Should my artwork be CMYK or RGB?
Supply CMYK where you can. RGB files are converted to CMYK for print, which can make very bright greens, blues and oranges look slightly duller. If you need a brand colour matched, give us the Pantone reference and we match it as closely as the material allows. Small differences between a screen and the printed item are normal, because screens give off light and print reflects it. For A1 Dibond Signs, set your file up at the size you order, for example A1 (594 × 841 mm).
What does the designer check before I approve?
It looks for sample text you have not replaced, text below the smallest size that prints clearly, anything too close to the edge or outside the safe area, logos or photos too low in resolution for the size, and items overlapping text. Blocking problems must be fixed before you can approve; warnings you can accept if you are happy. The checks do not read your spelling, so check names, numbers and dates yourself. For A1 Dibond Signs, set your file up at the size you order, for example A1 (594 × 841 mm).
Can someone help me choose the right options for these signs?
Yes. Call us on 0161 315 1151 or message us on WhatsApp and tell us where the sign will go, how long it needs to last and your deadline. You can also ask a question on this page; our team answers and the question may be published to help other buyers. For a price on something the calculator does not cover, use Get a quote. A1 Dibond Signs are made to order by our UK production partner.
What if I spot a mistake after I order?
Contact us straight away on 0161 315 1151 or WhatsApp with your order number. If production has not started we can take a corrected file, or cancel the order and refund you in full. Once production starts the order cannot be changed. Printing that matches the design you approved or the file you supplied is not a fault, so check spelling, phone numbers and dates carefully before you order. A1 Dibond Signs are made to order by our UK production partner.
What payment methods can I use for A1 Dibond Signs?
By debit or credit card at checkout. Payments are processed securely by Stripe, and we never see or store your full card number.

Can I reorder the same sign later?
Yes. Order the same product and options again and upload the same file.

If anything like a phone number or price has changed, update the artwork before you reorder. A1 Dibond Signs are made to order by our UK production partner.
Do I need an account to order?
No. You can check out as a guest and pay by debit or credit card, processed securely by Stripe.

What if my order arrives damaged?
Check it when it arrives. If anything is damaged or missing, tell us within 48 hours with photos of the item and the packaging, through the contact form or on WhatsApp, with your order number. Do not send anything back until we reply; we then arrange a reprint or a refund. This does not affect your legal rights, which the returns page explains. On the opening option, A1 Dibond Signs are ready to dispatch in 8 working days on Saver or 5 on Express.
How do I clean these signs?
Wipe with a soft cloth and warm, soapy water, then rinse and dry. Do not use solvents, scouring pads or strong cleaners, which can dull or lift the print. Store spare boards flat so they do not bow. A1 Dibond Signs are printed on 3mm Di-Bond.
