Aluminum Metal Prints
Color infused into the metal itself.
Dye sublimation on gloss aluminum infuses the image into the surface, not onto it. A vivid, durable print with real depth.
price per finished piece
Dye sublimation printing on 0.045" gloss aluminum: color infused directly into the metal surface, not printed on top. The result is vibrant, dimensional, and scratch-resistant in a way no paper print or canvas can match. Hang a realtor headshot on the wall of a home office and it looks like a gallery piece. Mount a restaurant's signature dish photo above the bar and it stops every new guest cold. Put a contractor's before/after transformation on aluminum and it becomes a credential, not a flyer. Available at 8"×10", with custom dimensions from 6"×6" through 42"×36" available by quote at order time. Rectangular standard; contour cut and wall standoffs available as add-ons. Outdoor-rated: UV-resistant, waterproof, fade-resistant. Hangs flush against the wall with a French cleat or mounts with standoffs for a floating effect.

How It Works
Choose Size, Stock & Finish
Gloss or matte poster paper for vivid indoor display, blockout for double-sided, backlit film for lightboxes, or stretched canvas for a gallery look.
Design at Full Resolution
Posters reward detail. We provide a template at the exact size and DPI so photos and type stay crisp at full scale, with no soft edges.
Free Design Review
Our NJ team checks resolution at print size, color accuracy, and bleed before printing, so a great design does not turn pixelated at three feet wide.
Ready in 3–5 Days
Posters ship rolled in a protective tube. Canvas ships stretched on a frame, ready to hang, or rolled for your own framing.

Frequently asked questions
What's the difference between gloss and matte posters?
Gloss makes photos and color pop, the go-to for product shots, events, and movie-style posters. Matte (dull) cuts glare and is easier to read under bright light, better for text-heavy posters and framed display. Both print full color on heavy poster stock.
What resolution do I need for a poster?
Aim for 150 DPI or higher at the final print size. A small web image scaled up to poster size looks soft, so start from the largest original you have. Our free design review checks resolution at actual size and flags anything that won't hold up.
Can a poster print on both sides?
Yes, on our blockout stock. Its opaque core keeps the back image from ghosting through the front, which is ideal for window displays seen from inside and out.
How are posters shipped?
Rolled in a protective tube so they arrive crease-free. Stretched canvas ships on its frame ready to hang; we can also ship canvas rolled if you'd rather frame it yourself.
Are posters made for outdoor use?
Posters and canvas are built for indoor display. For outdoor messaging, coroplast or aluminum signs and vinyl banners are made to take the weather. Just ask and we'll point you to the right product.
Do you print gallery canvas?
Yes. Artist-grade canvas, stretched on a solid wood frame for a finished gallery look, or rolled if you have your own framer. Popular for office lobbies, restaurants, and client gifts.
What if something is wrong with my order?
The L&B Promise: if we make a printing error on our end, we'll reprint your order at no charge. In practice, it rarely gets that far. Our free design review process catches virtually every issue before we go to press. We stand behind every job. Call us at 908.232.7770 if you ever have a concern.
