• Plastic: Durable plastic signs printed with UV ink on 6MM PVC plastic (sintra). These are long lasting signs that will last at any waiting room in a pediatric waiting room or nurse’s office.

• Wooden: Our wooden signs printed using a four-color UV printing process on high-density fiberboard. Four color process, eco-friendly, fade and abrasion resistant UV ink. 5” thick (about the thickness of 127 sheets of copy paper). These will make a statement
