I have a client that wants a sign with copy, plus the ability to display printed charts.
The charts will be printed on regular paper. They would like to have the charts covered with Plexiglas for protection. They do not want hinges, but do want to be able to clean the back of the Plexiglas when needed. We plan to use Dibond for the sign face, but are not locked to that idea.
Client has specified they want a clean, professional appearance.
Any, and all suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

Johnson plastics has grippers that people out here call industrial velcro. It is not made by Velcro. It has little plastic fingers that grip really tight when pushed together. I think Johnson has little buttons and squares.
I had a sign cabinet with a flush door that had no space for hinges. We let the door rest on the bottom lip and then held it in with the industrial velcro buttons. The door is on tight.
The buttons are not visually unattractive the way velcro sometimes looks. They are neat and clean looking. Vic G

Johnson also has metal tracks that come in four or five colors, two or three track thickness, and any custom length. You put one top and bottom and the acrylic slides out sideways. Black tracks on black acrylic with a clear non-glare slider looks like a million dollars. You can put a strip of black vinyl second surface on the clear, and this will allow you to tape in the paper without the tape showing.
