What's this called?

I'm trying to find a vendor that makes these. It's like a sandwich panel with the top routed out. They do not want vinyl, has to be this.

looks like engraved Rowmark

King Core is a brand I have used (forest green over beige). I think Wensco carries it.

Piedmont Plastics carries KingCore.

Row Mark, color Core, GeniniDuets, and various others are available. These are typically Laser or Rotary Engraved.

There are a few wholesale vendors out there for this. We used to make these but are getting rid of our laser to focus on print.

standard engravers plastic. A lot of different brands out there. We run this on a rotary or laser cutter every day.

Thanks everyone. Can it be routed with a straight or mortising bit or will that muck up the inner core?

We have used a ball nose in the past but laser is ideal.

Square endmill will avoid those stupid lines in it... I'd probably paint a sheet and carve the area out if they let me.
Rowmark is for interior only, it will freeze/warp/crack pretty quickly in outdoor environments. For a little sign its fine, not going to hold up for this.

We’d use our laser engraver with a material like Romark or the like
