The Akilux guide to perfect prints

Akilux: a versatile material for your printing projects

Akilux is a honeycomb plastic material often used in the printing industry for its lightness and robustness. Made from polypropylene, this material is designed to withstand outdoor conditions while offering excellent print quality.

Thanks to its unique structure, it can support posters, billboards and other visual media without deforming or rapidly deteriorating.


Akilux features

One of the main advantages of Akilux is its durability. Not only is this material impact-resistant, it's also waterproof and UV-resistant.

This means that your prints retain their brilliance even after prolonged exposure to sunlight or the elements. What's more, its light weight makes it easy to transport and install, making it ideal for temporary events or advertising campaigns.


Common Akilux applications

Akilux can be used in a variety of applications. Here are just a few examples:

  • Advertising Panels : Frequently used for outdoor displays, Akilux is perfect for announcement panels, seasonal promotions or special events. Its resistance to the elements makes it a preferred choice for companies wishing to attract the attention of passers-by.

  • Signage : Whether it's for directional signs or site information, Akilux is often used for signage. Its ability to be cut into different shapes and sizes makes it easy to personalize.

  • Event stands : At exhibitions and trade shows, Akilux can be used to create attractive, informative stands. Its light weight makes installation quick and efficient.


Choosing the right Akilux for your printing projects

Before embarking on a project using Akilux, it's essential to define your needs. Here are a few criteria to consider:

  1. Thickness : Akilux comes in several thicknesses. For panels intended for prolonged outdoor use, opt for a higher thickness to ensure greater resistance.

  2. Format : Determine the dimensions required for your project. Akilux can be cut to size, giving you total design flexibility.

  3. Type of printing : Depending on your message and design, choose between different printing techniques (digital, screen printing, etc.). Make sure the method you choose is compatible with the Akilux material to guarantee optimum results.

Akilux is available in several thicknesses, suitable for different uses. The three most common thicknesses are 3 mm, 3.5 mm and 4.5 mm.

  • Akilux 3mm Ideal for temporary displays or small panels, this thickness offers a good compromise between lightness and rigidity.

  • Akilux 3.5mm Perfect for medium to large panels requiring greater wind resistance. An excellent choice for longer-lasting outdoor displays.
  • Akilux 4.5mm Recommended for large formats or extreme climatic conditions, this thickness ensures optimum rigidity. 
  • Akilux 10mm For very large formats, this thickness ensures ideal rigidity for outdoor advertising.


Tips for installing your panels

Installing an Akilux panel is relatively simple, thanks to its light weight. Here are a few practical tips:

  • Use suitable fasteners : To ensure panel stability, use specific fasteners such as screws or clips that won't damage the material.

  • Plan a strategic location : Make sure your sign is placed in a visible location to maximize its visual impact.

  • Take weather conditions into account : If you expect prolonged exposure to strong winds or rain, consider reinforcing your installation with additional supports.
