Fossil Industries

Fossil Industries, operating as Fossil Graphics, is an American manufacturer of durable printed graphic panels and signage used in outdoor, wayfinding, and environmental advertising applications. The company's flagship product is CHPL, or Custom High Pressure Laminate, a digitally printed high-pressure laminate made by layering resin-impregnated sheets around a digital print and fusing them under extreme heat and pressure for more than an hour, then cooling under pressure to form a solid composite graphic panel. The resulting panels are engineered for demanding outdoor environments, offering fire-retardant, moisture-resistant construction that stands up to UV exposure, scratching, impact, and graffiti.

Fossil produces its graphics using a proprietary FOSSILized Surface finish and 12-color HD printing process, both developed in-house, and backs its CHPL signs with a ten-year guarantee. Panels are available in sizes up to five feet by twelve feet and in thicknesses ranging from thin post-forming laminate at about 0.038 inch up to a full inch, supporting everything from small identification plaques to large interpretive and directional signage. All Fossil products are made in the U.S.A., and the company reports installations on every continent.

Within the out-of-home and signage ecosystem, Fossil Industries serves parks, institutions, developers, and sign companies that need long-lasting, weatherproof printed panels for interpretive displays, donor and recognition signage, wayfinding systems, and branded outdoor graphics built to endure years of exposure without fading or damage.
