    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 .http://www.jagsignsupplies.com/aqshop/catalogue.php?id=362

    or Iron Signs sell them with the trim already attached as one offs.

    Not used them as 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.
