Hi Peter,
I've been doing some research about outdoor signage because we'll be putting in two interpretive stations outside.  I've learned about two companies that use high pressure laminate materials, making attractive and durable signs.  They may include illustrations, texts, and photos.  One is iZon at www.izoneimaging.com and the other is Folia at www.folia.ca.  The cost for folia is about $60-100 per square foot depending on quantity.  iZon is a little cheaper.  They both guarantee their products for 10 years.  These products are being in used in outdoor exhibits in Arizona and holding up well, under the intense heat here.  They're also very attractive signs.
Good luck!

BlankWhat are the options for outdoor text panels? For our purpose they
would need to be long lasting, but not permanent -- lasting perhaps three to
five years. They would need to include text, graphics and photos. I've seen
many under a foggy layer of yellow plastic laminant, but they seldom look
good.  Ideas?
Thanks
Peter Morelli
