While coroplast offers the lowest upfront cost, aluminum composite (ACM/Dibond) signs provide significantly higher long-term value for permanent business displays.
When comparing the two materials, it is important to look beyond the initial price tag to the total cost of ownership:
- Upfront Cost: Coroplast is the most budget-friendly option for short-term needs. ACM panels are a mid-range investment that requires more initial capital than plastic alternatives.
- Lifespan and Value: A coroplast sign typically lasts only 6 to 12 months before it begins to tear, fade, or fail in the wind. In contrast, our aluminum composite signs are designed to last 10 to 15 years. Because one ACM sign outlasts more than a dozen coroplast replacements, it is the more cost-effective choice for permanent storefronts.
- Durability: Unlike coroplast, which is prone to tearing, ACM panels resist denting, corrosion, and UV fading. They remain dimensionally stable through Saskatchewan’s extreme temperature swings, from -40°C winters to +40°C summers.
