Custom built-up letters and logos for shopfronts, commercial buildings and branded interiors, fabricated in acrylic, aluminium or stainless steel with illuminated and non-illuminated options.
Custom Built-Up Letters Made for Depth and Impact
Built-up letters are individually fabricated characters with a face, side returns and real physical depth, creating a stronger architectural presence than flat lettering. We manufacture custom 3D letters and logos around your typeface, brand colours, required depth and installation surface, with acrylic, aluminium and stainless steel options available.
They can be supplied non-illuminated or with integrated lighting where required. If your project is specifically focused on rear halo or combined backlighting, explore our built-up backlit letters.
