Types of Signs 3D Lettering Flat Cut 3D Letters

Flat Cut 3D Letters

Flat Cut Letters are one of the simplest ways to achieve a 3D effect without breaking the bank.


What are Flat Cut Letters


Flat cut letters are letter forms that are cut out of a substrate. These 'substrates' can be made from Stainless Steel, Aluminium, Acrylic, PVC, MDF and Polystyrene. They can vary in thickness ranging from 1mm for stainless steel to 20mm for Acrylic to even thicker for polystyrene.

Flat cut letters start out as a design in a software program. The letter design is then converted to a vectorised format which allows a specalised machine called a CNC router to understand. The router uses the outline data from the design file to cut out the shape from the substrate resulting in a Flat Cut Letter.


What size Letters can you have?


You can have virtually any size you like. As the letters are custom made we can make them as big as you want.

The limitation on size is at the smaller end and there we cannot go below 100mm in height


Are Flat Cut Letters expensive?

Flat cut letters are the cheapest of the family of 3D letters. You could argue that they are the budget end of 3D letters, but that is not to say that they look cheap. When used in an imaginative way they can add a very unique look to a sign.

In our opinion they are extremely affordable and offer the best way to get a 3D look on your signange. In fact they are extremenly versatile and can be attached to any surface not only signage. top-iconTop

Can I have Illumination with these types of Letters?


Yes. There are two main ways you can use illumination with your letters. Reverse Illumination, often called 'halo' becasue of the 'halo' effect that is created when used in this way.

Face illumiated. This is less popular but can be very effective. Here the illumination is placed on the face of the letters. In most cases cold cathode illumination - 'neon' is used in this method. top-iconTop
