What makes Dimensional Letters work

3D letter signs are dimensional letters and logos with real material depth of 1 to 10 cm. They cast shadows, feel sculptural and give your company name a presence in reception, in store or on the facade that flat lettering can’t match.

We fabricate 3D letters from solid acrylic, aluminum or lightweight composite – painted, brushed or in metal finishes. Optionally with LED as front-lit or halo-lit letters. Send us your logo and a photo of the location and we’ll create a free design preview.

Which parts light up?

What lights up on dimensional letters, what stays printed or unlit – and from which size. Your free design preview shows it for your own logo.

Standard: non-illuminated

Dimensional letters work through depth and shadow, with no power needed.

Optional LED

Possible as front-lit or halo-lit letters. This has to be prepared during the build, so mention it in your request.

Depth

1–3 cm (0.4–1.2 in) is enough indoors; 5–10 cm (2–4 in) works on facades. The right depth depends on letter height and viewing distance.

Why choose this sign type

Real depth

1–10 cm of material – shadows and a sculptural feel that gets noticed.

Three materials

Solid acrylic, aluminum or lightweight composite letters – by size, budget and location.

Any finish

Painted in any RAL color, brushed, chrome, gold or wood effect – matched to your brand guidelines.

Light it up

Plain 3D letters, or LED front-lit / halo-lit versions that can also be added later.

Which material for your dimensional letters?

Material	Look	Use	Best for
Solid acrylic	Rich colors, clean edges, metal effects too	Mainly indoors	Lobbies, showrooms, offices
Aluminum	Brushed or painted, a genuine metal feel	Indoors and outdoors	Facades and entrances
Composite letters	Painted in any RAL color, very light	Indoors and outdoors	Large formats, trade show booths

Choosing depth and size

Depth is what makes the 3D effect. Indoors, 1–3 cm (about 0.5–1 in) is enough because people stand close and every bit of shadow shows. On a facade you need 5–10 cm (2–4 in), or the letters look flat from a distance. For height, the usual rule applies: about 1 inch of letter height per 8 feet of reading distance.

One detail that's often missed: the deeper the letter, the bolder the typeface should be. Very thin typefaces at a large depth quickly look like a row of narrow sticks. We check this in the design preview.

Floating or flush to the wall?

On stand-offs, the letters sit a little in front of the wall. They seem to float and cast an extra shadow that strengthens the 3D effect. It's the more premium option, but it needs drilling.

With adhesive mounting, they sit directly on the wall. That's quicker, needs no drilling at all, and suits smooth interior walls and trade show walls.

A full-size drilling template is included, so every letter lands exactly where it should. Most handymen can manage this without a specialist sign installer. If you don't have an installer, we can help you find one near you.

Dimensional letters or channel letters?

Dimensional letters work through material and shadow. They need no power and no electrician, which makes them ideal for interiors and for facades that don't need to glow in the evening. If your name should be visible at night, channel letters are the right choice, or for a lobby a halo-lit logo.

Not sure yet? We can prepare the letters so LED can be added later. Just tell us in your request. For flat lettering in 3–20 mm acrylic there are flat cut letters, and for real metal our stainless steel letters.

Dimensional Letters – frequently asked questions

How deep should the letters be?

1–3 cm (0.5–1 in) is enough indoors; 5–10 cm (2–4 in) works on facades. We recommend a depth to suit letter height and viewing distance.

How big should dimensional letters be?

Rule of thumb: about 1 inch of letter height per 8 feet of reading distance. In a lobby, the effect in the room matters too – you'll see it in the design preview.

Acrylic or aluminum?

Acrylic for color and interiors, aluminum for a metal look and outdoor use. Composite letters are the light, economical option for large formats.

Floating or flush to the wall?

On stand-offs the letters float in front of the wall and cast more shadow. Adhesive mounting sits flush and needs no drilling.

Can I add lighting later?

Yes, if we prepare the letters for it from the start. Tell us in your request if LED could be a future option.

How are dimensional letters mounted?

With stand-offs or adhesive. A full-size drilling template is included.

Are they weatherproof?

Aluminum and painted acrylic, yes. We choose material and finish to suit the location.

Do you install the letters?

As standard you get everything your installer needs. If you don't have one, we can help you find one near you.
