MetalPhoto Interpretive Signs are engineered for maximum durability while delivering exceptional image clarity. Using a specialised photographic anodising process, images, text, and graphics are embedded within the surface of anodised aluminium. This creates a sign that is resistant to fading, abrasion, chemicals, and UV exposure, making it one of the most robust options available for long-term interpretive displays.
Perfect for outdoor environments such as parks, walking trails, botanical gardens, and heritage sites, MetalPhoto interpretive signs withstand harsh weather and heavy public interaction without losing detail. They are capable of reproducing both fine line art and halftone photographic images, offering excellent versatility for educational, historical, or environmental displays.
MetalPhoto outdoor life expectancy: 25 Years, depending on the environment.
Metalphoto’s durability comes from its archival image sealed within anodised aluminium, offering superior resistance to sunlight, saltwater, high temperatures, and harsh chemicals. A US Navy study of 73 materials found that it achieved the highest score on more tests than any other material.
What is Metalphoto?
Metalphoto is a premium anodised aluminium material with an image sealed beneath its surface. This process produces an extremely durable, high-resolution graphic that withstands decades of outdoor exposure.
How durable is Metalphoto?
Metalphoto has unmatched resistance to sunlight, saltwater, extreme temperatures, and chemicals. A US Navy study ranked it the top-performing material among 73 tested for long-term durability.
What applications is Metalphoto used for?
Metalphoto is ideal for asset tags, compliance plates, outdoor signage, memorial plaques, interpretive panels, and industrial nameplates.
Can Metalphoto display photographic images?
Yes – it can reproduce detailed text, barcodes, and high-resolution photos with excellent clarity and contrast.
How long will Metalphoto last outdoors?
When properly installed, Metalphoto can last more than 20 years outdoors without significant fading or deterioration.
Is Metalphoto weatherproof?
Yes – it’s engineered to handle prolonged sun exposure, moisture, temperature extremes, and harsh environments such as coastal or industrial sites.
How is Metalphoto different from other metal printing methods?
Unlike surface printing, the image is sealed within the anodised layer, making it highly resistant to wear, abrasion, and environmental damage.
