with a polyethylene filler sandwiched
inside. Some types of this composite
are routable and, by that method,
you can create a high gloss, inlaid
two-color sign or graphic. Corrugated
plastic core media is an indoor alternative to foamcore board and these
can be joined with fitted, wooden
dowel pins (set inside the corrugated
flutes) to attach the pieces together
and form a larger display.
For long-term, outdoor signs, a
composite of single-face aluminum
bonded to MDO plywood provides
both rigidity and strength. You can
finish the edges with commercial
wood or plastic trim or supplieroffered edge caps. If you need an
attractive wood-finished sign, look
for such material composites as
balsa and wood veneers that can
provide beauty, structural strength
and relative lightness to signage,
with the added benefit of structural
design options.
As you can see, you can choose
numerous and different composite
sign boards, so plan a few conversations with your sign supply house
because you may learn of even more.
The obvious benefit of using composite materials is savings gained

in finishing times as well as added
strength with reduced weight.
And last, although some of these
materials may cost more than traditional wood, plastic or aluminum
sheets, the professional appearance,
plus savings in time and weight -

with added strength - easily balance
the additional expense. Finally,
acquire media samples to display in
your shop (get them when you visit
your sign supply house), to show
your clients and upgrade their sign
choices.
