‘’Picture-Perf’’
Perforating pictures into sheet
metal
Powder coated

U strip
(6.35mm round

staggered pitch
in 1.5mm
material)
Graepel can perforate images of drawings,
pictures and text using different sizes and
shapes of perforations to enable an
effective image to be produced
“Picture-Perf” is manufactured using the same
principals as printing.
Larger or smaller dots change the density of the
image helping to give a three dimensional effect
Picture-Perf is created by perforating different
size and shape holes into a sheet of metal.
The image is enhanced with the application of
natural or artificial light.
Movement adds another dimension to the
overall effect.
The process is similar to printing. Instead of dots, holes are used to
create an image. Different size holes create the shading in an image.
Picture-Perf is perfect for
Design concepts
Mood light enhancing applications
Museums and historical sites
Company logos and displays
Furniture
Advertising and promotion
Exterior and interior cladding
Balustrade infill
Staircase steps
In areas of industry such as
Landscape gardening
Interior architecture
Exhibitions
Creative lighting
Signage
Benefits
Strong and durable
Easy to install
Difficult to vandalise
Unique in appearance
Affordable
Easy to form into a three dimensional in a curved or angular shape,
making it self supporting and strong enough to be part of a
structure.
It can be supplied in most metals
“Picture-Perf” example using a positive and negative format with only
one perforation size and painted using two colours
Images can be very large and
often spread over many panels so as to
get the desired detail from the picture

Basic Patterns
created
using one
perforation
size
Adding colours & changing, light sources or using transparent backgrounds
gives an added dimension to “Picture-Perf”
In this example the background is also
perforated so as to make the sheet transparent
This option is
slower to
perforate but if
the image is
scaled up so
that the
perforations and
the spacing
between them
are larger then
the punching
time is reduced
accordingly
In this example the background is not perforated so as to make the
sheet less transparent. One perforation size has been used.
This example has three
different perforation sizes
so as to create a more
detailed image
Curving panels increases rigidity
