CUSTOM POWDER-COATED GRAPHICS FUSED INTO ALUMINUM SINCE 2006 
Our custom powder-coated graphics product, ALTO™ Aluminum, uses a proprietary dye sublimation process to fuse UV-inks into durable aluminum panels that add beauty and value to indoor and outdoor environments. ALTO™ stands out as a breakthrough product in the field of ecologically sustainable graphics innovations with its remarkable durability, zero-VOC and zero-TGIC powder coats, UV inks and eco-friendly use of aluminum, an infinitely recyclable material.

ALTO™ Aluminum and FOLIA™ Laminates can be found in cities, parks, transit stations, zoos, museums, public art installations and many other public and private sites across the globe. For SH, every project is an opportunity to promote creativity, encourage artists and designers, and provide the materials that help our clients make a lasting effect in the public art, placemaking, wayfinding, experimental graphic design and architectural fields.
