    I’ve been approached by a local company to produce 4 signs, that will be suspended from their ceiling. The signs will be 2x1ft.

    I initially thought about printing vinyl and mounting it onto a thing correx, but don’t think it would look that great.

    I’ve looked through my catalogues and can get display board in various thicknesses, also EPLAK extruded PolyProp.

    I don’t have the ability to print direct to substrate (although I’ve printed onto a 440mic PVC)

    What material would you recommend for this application?
