What makes Flat Cut Letters work
Flat cut letters are characters and logos cut from a solid sheet and mounted a few millimeters off the wall. Without illumination they feel calm and architectural – the classic choice for reception areas, offices, clinics and interiors where the logo should look premium without shouting.
We cut from acrylic, aluminum, stainless steel or brass-look finishes in any thickness and color. Send your logo and we’ll show you how it sits on your wall – with a drilling template included for installation.

Which parts light up?
What lights up on flat cut letters, what stays printed or unlit – and from which size. Your free design preview shows it for your own logo.
Standard: non-illuminated
Flat cut letters do not light up. They work through material, shadow and a small gap to the wall.
Upgradeable to halo
Many flat cut letters can be upgraded to halo-lit later if you want more impact.
Small lettering
From about 3 cm (1.2 in) letter height, depending on the typeface. Very fine details are checked in the design preview.
External light
If a flat cut logo should be visible at night, a well-placed spotlight is often enough.

Free design previewWhich thickness for flat cut acrylic letters?
Thickness decides how much edge and shadow your logo shows on the wall. As a guide:
| Thickness | Effect | Works well for |
|---|---|---|
| 3 mm (1/8 in) | Very flat, with a fine edge | Glass doors, small secondary lines |
| 5–8 mm (about 1/4 in) | Crisp edge, subtle shadow | Offices, conference rooms, indoor office signs |
| 10 mm (about 3/8 in) | Clear depth | Lobby walls, main logo |
| 15–20 mm (about 5/8–3/4 in) | Solid, almost sculptural | Large logos in a lobby |
If you need even more depth, dimensional letters at 1–10 cm are the right choice.
Designing the lobby wall
A good lobby wall has a clear hierarchy: the logo is the star and everything else steps back. It works well to set the logo in the thickest material and strongest color, and the company name or tagline one step thinner and quieter. You can mix materials too, say a gold-look logo with a matte black line underneath.
The wall plays its part. On light drywall, dark letters look strongest; on concrete or dark wood, white, gold or brushed aluminum stand out more. The design preview shows the combination on a photo of your wall before anything is cut.
Acrylic letters or vinyl lettering?
Vinyl is cheap, but it stays flat and looks like a sticker up close. Acrylic letters have a real edge and cast a shadow, so they look more premium. That makes the difference in a lobby, where visitors stand right in front of the wall. Vinyl is still the right choice for glass and store hours.
How flat cut letters are installed
- Position the template: tape the full-size drilling template to the wall using a level.
- Mark the holes: mark through the template, then take it down.
- Drill and anchor: with anchors to suit the wall – drywall, brick or concrete.
- Fit the letters: onto the stand-offs, or press them into place for adhesive mounting.
Most handymen can do this quickly. If you don't have an installer, we can help you find one near you. If you'd like the logo to light up later, many flat cut letters can be upgraded to halo-lit letters. For real metal, see our stainless steel letters.
