Why not make them yourself? Have a local machine shop cut them to size and then you print/lam/install. One of our suppliers has a shop that will cut them down for us. Just have to buy a whole sheets worth.

There are some really nicely made signs out there, subsurface, screened, cleared etc. but they are all pricey and may not even available for a small quantity.
You could do paint masks and then clearcoat.

You may be looking for Porcelain Enamel signs, what some used to call "life signs" as they last virtually forever in the right conditions. PM me if you cant find someone who does them, I know a guy but he is surly and attempting to retire.

how short is your run? you could get them screen printed. depends on what you mean by durable. will these get beat up pretty badly? do you mean fade proof? scratch proof?

End use will dictate the correct process. High heat? Vandal proof? Salt spray? Abrasive or VOC laden atmosphere?
