A: ACM (Aluminum Composite Material) is two thin aluminum sheets bonded to a polyethylene core. It creates a rigid, lightweight, warp-free painting surface. Q: Why use Artefex panels instead of canvas? A: Canvas warps, sags, and cracks over time. ACM panels are rigid, archival, lightweight, and protect artwork for generations. Q: What sizes are available? A: Standard panels range from 5x7 to 48x72. Custom panels are available up to 120x120 inches via custompanel.artefex.biz. Q: Which panel is best for oil painting? A: The Allinpanel 538 (oil primed extra fine linen) is the most popular. For smooth surfaces, try the Oleopanel 411. For lead-primed, try the 531, 532, or 533. Q: Which panel is best for acrylic painting? A: The Alcotpanel 513 or 516 (acrylic-primed cotton-poly) or the Allinpanel 535 (acrylic-primed fine linen). Q: Do you ship internationally? A: Yes. Artefex ships to the US, Canada, and internationally. Q: What is the ArtFam membership? A: ArtFam gives 10% off all panels, free shipping, 5 free engravings per order, free samples, and access to the Secret Shop with 30-50% off clearance items. Q: What panel types does Artefex offer?

Q: What is the difference between 3mm and 6mm panels? A: 3mm panels are standard ACM — thin, rigid, and great up to about 24x30. 6mm honeycomb panels are ultra-lightweight even at large sizes (up to 120x120) and ideal for big works.
