Thin, low cost, exterior, substrate.

[Ross Moshinsky]

Thanks for all the input guys. Researching the options mentioned and will see what I can come up with. Unfortunately this is a super low cost application so we will see what we can find in the low end of the range. I discussed it with the customer in depth when they asked and we both pretty much agreed that the per unit cost wasnt going to hit the number they needed to be near/at.

Unfortunately we have no sign supply shops for hundreds of miles but will look into it again.

If price is the only factor, 1/8" ACM is going to be hard to beat. It's relatively cheap, very durable, and cuts well on the CNC at a reasonable speed. It also can come in different colors or can be painted via traditional methods.

There are sign shops in West Virginia. They have to get their material somehow. 4x8 sheets of ACM is one of the most common materials in the sign industry at this point. I'd be shocked if there wasn't a cost effective way to get it to you.

If you want an idea on wholesale pricing, PM me and I'll give you the 4x8 pricing. I don't like to share wholesale pricing on public forums.
