I want to offer storyboards in 5x5 or 6x6, 10x10, 5x10 and 10x20 in both metal and acrylic, but most labs seem to be missing half these in metal, no one ive looked at offers 5x5 and 5x10. And no one seems to be offering acrylic in sizes smaller than 16x16.

WHCC has a nice selection of metal but not 5x5 or 5x10
miller seems to only offer metal boxes not sheets
bayphoto does offer 5x5 but not 5x10
mpix doesnt seem to offer metal and their acrylics start at 16x16
aps doesnt list metal or acrylic on their page and I couldnt find a downloadable price guide

im sure there are other pro labs that I dont have listed above, any tips?

    McKenna Pro does metal 5x10. They also do 5x7 and they might be able to do a custom 5x5 for you. Its definitely worth asking. https://www.mckennapro.com

    I was able to order custom sized metal prints through BayPhoto. Ended up getting a couple very odd ones like 9x19.3/4" and things like that. Through their Roes software you can enter in custom dimensions. I don't know about acrylic stuff though.

    Thanks! I thought someone said bayphoto can do custom sizes but I couldnt see any mention of that in their price guide.

    Hi, Larry from Bay Photo here. We do custom sizes however 5x10 is amongst a group of sizes we will be adding shortly to our standard sizes. Thanks for the heads up.

    I wonder why most labs offer 5x5 in paper but no 6x6, and then most of them offer 6x6 in metal but not 5x5. :D

    thanks Papalouie. :)
