    Posted by Gordon Forbes on September 21, 2004 at 9:00 am

    I have an outdoor sign to do for a company to be fixed to a wall.

    Outdoor site sign for regulations etc etc.

    It needs to be long lasting.
    I dont want to use foamex as it buckles.

    Is forex a suitable alternative or should I go the dibond – alucolur route.

    Any advice or help woud be appreciated haven’t got any sizes or details yet.

    Thanks for any advice

    Goop.

    dibond – cox
    alucolour – europoint display
    rynabond – amari plastics
    le-board – europoint display

    all made very simular.. cheapest and comes in smallest sheets i think is le-board

    note: some come in hi gloss finish = rynabond
    the rest come in a silk sheen finish..

    they all come in various colours but only some have white back.. the shit back is good because your not stuck with an off cut of a colour

    Not sure about white, but I think you’ll find that coloured dibond is gloss on one side and satin finish on the other. Handy if you want to reduce glare.
