Fabricated signage in DM or PVC?

It depends on whether your signage is installed indoors or outdoors. For indoor installation, the best option is lacquered DM, with the same finish as premium PVC but somewhat cheaper.DM is not guaranteed outside, even if it is lacquered behind or water-repellent DM is used. For signage installed outdoors we recommend the PVC option.
