Three-dimensional lettering

3D Letters

3D letters are what most people picture when they think of signage: dimensional lettering that casts a shadow and changes as you walk past. The depth is the design decision — too shallow and it reads flat, too deep and it looks clumsy.

  • Metal, acrylic and illuminated three-dimensional letters
  • Return depths from 10 mm for interiors to 60 mm and above for large facades
  • Any colour: powder coat, spray paint, brushed and mirror metal, gold plating
  • Studs, rails or templates for accurate fixing

Three dimensional letter mounted on a wall

Choosing the depth

Letter heightReturn depthWhere it works
Up to 20 cm10–20 mmInterior walls, reception logos, door lettering
20–40 cm30–40 mmShopfronts, fascia signs, office exteriors
40–70 cm50–60 mmBuilding entrances and large wall logos
Over 70 cm60 mm and aboveRooftops and facades seen from below

Depth is judged against the surface behind it. On a textured brick wall, a deeper letter reads better; on a flush glass wall, a shallow letter looks cleaner.

Material and lighting options

  • Painted metal: any brand colour, satin or matte, the most common specification
  • Brushed or mirror stainless: the metal forms the look rather than the paint
  • Acrylic: cleanest glow when illuminated, also available non-illuminated
  • Front-lit, backlit (halo) or non-illuminated builds
  • Gold and champagne plating for a premium accent

Send the logo, the letter height and a photo of the wall. We will recommend a depth, a finish and a fixing method, and show all three on the approval drawing.

Summary

3D lettering is a depth decision before it is a finish decision. Match the return to the letter height and the surface behind it, choose the material for the light the sign will be seen in, and set out the fixings on a template.

Questions buyers ask

What is the difference between 3D letters and channel letters?

Channel letters are 3D letters that are illuminated, with a metal return and a face. Non-illuminated 3D letters use the same construction without the LED modules and wiring.

How do I choose the right depth for 3D letters?

Roughly: 10–20 mm for interior letters up to 20 cm, 30–40 mm for shopfront letters of 20–40 cm, and 50 mm and above for large facade lettering.

What is your minimum order quantity?

Our MOQ is one piece. We welcome custom orders of any size, from a single sign for a small business to complete signage solutions for commercial projects. As a direct signage manufacturer we provide professional design support, custom production, quality inspection and global delivery for every order.

Can you match our brand colours and logo?

Yes. Send us the artwork and we will reproduce it in the construction that suits your project. Custom colours can be spray painted to your PANTONE or RAL reference, and metal parts are available in brushed or mirror stainless steel with electroplated finishes including titanium gold, champagne gold, rose gold, black steel, antique bronze and antique brass.
