Hi Michelle, The answer to this question is budget relevant. For a really
durable outdoor product with a ten year warranty, they may want to look
into Folia (or Systeme Huntington) in Quebec. Fantastic colour reproduction
and ten year warranty. Higher price point. Next they can try Art Craft in
Vancouver (still a solid product but not quite as robust as Folia); closer
to home and a little cheaper. And for the lower budget project, every city
has a vinyl-output sign shop that can print and laminate to Crezone or
Alu-pan (Dibond). Cheapest option but colours will fade over time. Hope
this helps.

Hello,

Happy New Year everyone!

Can anyone provide information on Canadian-based companies that produce
outdoor interpretive signage? We are assisting a local heritage society in
researching the production of interpretive signage and they have been
having a hard time locating Canadian-based companies. Does anyone have any
past experience to share?

Thanks,
