Has anyone ever tried laminating hydraulic placards or general information signs before, and would you be willing to offer any pros or cons of doing this?
NFPA 13 only says that the signs have to be metal or rigid plastic. So my thought is if you use a heavy enough laminating pouch, say 5-7 mils, it will be pretty stiff. On top of this, we can print the placards out so that the information is legible, and the lamination will keep the writing from fading or getting eaten up. The hydraulic placards are easy to find in sticker or metal plate form, but I haven't been able to find a pre-made general info sign, which is what really started me thinking about this, and it just kind of seemed logical to do the hydraulic placards the same way. I've seen others use those 3 for $5 picture frames they sell at Staples for the general info sign, but that seems too easily damaged or water-logged to me for some reason. Anyone else have any thoughts or ideas on this? I know I can't be the only person that gets tired of filling out hydraulic placards. My hand starts cramping up after two, and the last one is always barely legible.
