Dibond & Fine Art Paper

History of Dibond

Singen, a small town near Lake Constance and the Swiss border in southern Germany, was the birthplace of Dibond aluminum printing. Although 3A Composites invented Dibond aluminum in the early 1990s, its roots date back to the turn of the nineteenth century. Chemist Erwin Lauber, engineer Albert Gmür, and inventor Robert Victor Neher invented a technique for manufacturing rolls of thin aluminum strips in Singen at the time. Fast forward to 1969, when panels made of aluminum and plastic were developed in Singen: they were first used in construction, but it didn’t take long for their possible use as a high-end printing medium in major art exhibitions.

What is Dibond?

Alu-Dibond is a premium material known for its sleek and modern finish. It consists of aluminum, providing strength and preserving artwork in pristine condition over time. In addition to showcasing your art with a touch of sophistication, it's a choice that reflects a commitment to quality and durability.

Although Dibond is more expensive than other materials like canvas or plexiglass, it ensures a perfect image rendering free of reflections. To preserve the true nature of colors, we use natural pigments on Fine Art Paper that we overlay on Dibond.
