What Is a Sublimation Aluminum Sign Blank?
A sublimation aluminum sign blank is a flat aluminum sheet with a special polyester coating designed for sublimation printing. During the heat press process, sublimation ink turns into gas and permanently bonds with the coating, creating high-definition images that won’t peel or fade.
These blanks come in various shapes, sizes, thicknesses, and colors to suit different signage and branding needs.
