I have a client who would like some artwork signs/placards similar to the one attached to be installed with my images. They are looking for a nice high-end look.
I am including a sample they saw but haven't been able to find a vendor to do something like this. Any suggestions? I don't want plastic signs from tap plastics (at least don't think so)
This looks like possible uv printed on acrylic?! Any suggestions/feedback is appreciated!
Thanks in advance!

Maybe a trophy shop? We do little signs for artwork all the time, the trophy shop has many options ...

My guess is that its a vinyl cut on a small Plexi plate. If you find a plastic supplier, and someone to vinyl cut your text, and then put the two together and POOF! Exhibition label. I know Gaylord sells some museum supplies www.gaylord.com and probably has label systems. Or you cut just apply the vinyl cut straight to the wall which is kind of a cleaner more contemporary look that you would find in any museum or gallery. Also dry transfers imagetransfers.com

Thanks for the replies! I tried 3-4 vendors before including a trophy shop with no luck. I think I'll try the custom plexi/acrylic samples from tap and a vinyl text.
Thanks again and I'll share how it came out.

You could try:
Decal Paper (http://www.decalpaper.com)
You should be able to get any acrylic supplier to sell you blank stock.
You can find a good looking gallery labeling system here:
Gallery Labels (http://www.protoproductions.com/ga_labels/index.html)
Try a search for "small acrylic museum labels"
Good luck.
