MPC’s Metalphoto Signs are our most durable and popular solution for signs, with graphics sealed beneath a sapphire-hard anodic layer, creating an impenetrable surface. Our Metalphoto signs sustain an expected exterior life of 20+ years even under extreme conditions including heat, humidity, long-term exposure to weather, UV and other outdoor conditions, salt spray, abrasion, industrial solvents, chemicals and more.

Metalphoto’s exceptional durability makes it a preferred material for many military standards and aerospace applications.
