    Hi George

    Check Jag Sign Supplies, they have plastic framing.

    Assuming you’re looking for a double sided board, it may still be worth speaking to them. Possibility is that they may be able to stick two back to back to form a single sealed unit.

    I seem to have been doing quite a few swing signs lately and the choices of different qualities I have found are.

    1) 19mm Foam board, either basic or with Jag plastic trim. Iron Signs sells them with the trim already attached as one-offs.
    Not used them as I found it cheaper to buy the 19mm board and make them up myself.

    2) GRP from Sign Master

    3) Aluminium Boards with borders. for a quality board that should last well I can recommend the Aluminiumm ones from Hugo at Sign board Systems, he can makes them with fixing points to suit or he has made one with wooden inserts, that I could then screw directly to an existing frame.
