Polyester Coated Matt ACP
Matt surface optimized for UV printing with excellent ink adhesion and an anti-glare finish.
Gloss · Digital Print
Polyester Coated Gloss ACP
High-gloss surface engineered for digital printing — vivid colour reproduction and a smooth finish.
Product Overview
Polyester Coated Gloss ACP At A Glance
Where matt buys legibility, gloss buys saturation. A smooth high-gloss surface reflects light back through the ink film, so printed colours read deeper and blacks read blacker.
It is the surface for photographic graphics, backlit work and any sign that has to compete for attention rather than simply be read.

FAQ
Polyester Coated Gloss ACP FAQ
Which is better for outdoor signage, gloss or matt?
Both are polyester systems suited to short and medium-term outdoor work. For a sign that must hold its colour for decades outdoors, specify the FEVE coated panel instead.
Can I have gloss on one side and matt on the other?
Reverse-face specification is available. Tell us what you need on each face when you enquire.
Do you supply cut sheets?
Yes — we can cut to your printer bed size rather than shipping full sheets.
