Replacement for MDO

[chuckh]

I don't consider my self a sign maker, although we screenprint signs, flexible mags, use PS vinyl and sell digital printed signs and banners that we outsource.

I have a client that wants to replace a hanging .75" x 48" x 72" MDO sign, with PS Vinyl graphics and lettering, with something lighter. The sign making company I use when I want a permanent, long lasting sign says MDO is the way to go. I don't doubt him. He's an outstanding sign maker. However, I feel that I need to offer my client an alternative and educate him on the positives and negatives of doing so.

Any suggestions or info would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Chuck

It's a hanging sign as in free swinging?
If that's the case lighter is not the way to go.

Yes, hanging and free swinging

hanging and free swinging then you have to have heavy.

if you want another material then you can look at aluminum at least .125 thickness, this will have enough weight

I stay away from swinging signs. So much liability.

I have, however, welded very heavy chain so it looks like it is free to swing, but it can't.
