3D letters are becoming increasingly popular and are very interesting. This type of advertising is definitely replacing the commonly used advertising signs made on panels. This is probably due to the high visual attractiveness of this solution and the aesthetics of made.
The possibility of placing 3D letters in space makes them easily noticeable. Three-dimensional letters with our brand name placed above the entrance to a shop, pharmacy, office or catering premises will add prestige and elegance to our business. When deciding on the implementation of our sign in the form of 3D letters, it is worth considering the use of additional backlighting of the elements, which will make our advertisement perfectly visible also at night.
What shapes of 3D letters are possible?
We are able to produce almost any letter with a 3D effect. The only important aspect when designing is to maintain the minimum formats of each element. The minimum distance between the walls of each letter is 4 cm, which is a guarantee of the aesthetics and quality of the final product.
Illuminated 3D letters
Advertising signs realised in the form of 3D letters are becoming increasingly popular among our customers. This form of presentation is very aesthetically pleasing and looks modern, which has a proportionate effect on how our brand will ultimately be perceived by current and potential customers.
The 3D letters can be additionally illuminated. This element will make your sign visible not only during the day, but also at night. We have three options available as standard: illuminating the letters from the front, from the back or both at the same time. Each method produces a completely different visual effect, so it is worth considering which will be most suitable for you before making a decision. Among other things, it is important to consider where our signage will be placed. An additional element that can be used in advertising signs letters are twilight sensors. Thanks to them, we do not have to remember to activate the lighting when it gets dark. When the light intensity is at its minimum level, the sensors send information to the central unit, which causes the lighting to be switched on. When the letters are mounted to the wall, the sensors can be attached separately.
The 3D letters can be illuminated with led strips with a colour range of 6500 – 7500 Kelvin, the lower the ratio, the warmer the light. What colour of light we use should depend on where our sign will be placed, whether in an enclosed space such as a trade fair, shopping centres or outside a building. There are a number of elements that should be taken into account to make our signage visible, these include: the proximity of other signs, the form of lighting in the room, the colour of our logo.
What materials are 3D letters made of?
We offer a wide range of materials from which we can realise your order for 3D letters. Which solution you can use depends on the final effect you are looking for. For illuminated signage, we primarily use Plexiglas, which is a board that transmits and diffuses light on its surface. Plexiglas has a milky colour as a standard, but can be printed or covered with coloured film to produce a different colour.
The use of an aluminium composite panel with a brushed silver surface is ideal for applications where an exclusive end result is particularly important. This solution is often used in the production of 3D letters for beauty salons and spa centres. Other materials used for the production of 3D letters in our offer include Dibond, PVC, Foamed PVC. All of these materials can be combined with each other to obtain the desired effect. You are welcome to consult our sales department to discuss the target desired result you are interested in, select the appropriate solutions and present an offer.
How can the 3D letters be finished?
The way in which the letters are finished is done at the customer’s request. However, there are elements that determine the option that can be used. For very small or complex letters, it is suggested to use faced sides, which are suitable for precise and demanding finishes. When realising large 3D letters, customers often opt for curled sides, which look very precise and elegant, giving a stylish effect. Sides also differ in terms of thickness. The faced and curled ones are 0.6 mm thick and the flat and sharp ones are 0.8 mm thick.
What colours are available for the sides of 3D logo sign?
We have standard RAL colours available in our standard range. If you require a different colour, it is also possible to order RAL Classic colours, however, this extends the lead time.
What are the mounting options for the 3D lettering?
3D letters can be mounted to the wall in 5 ways: directly to the wall, on an aluminium frame, on a Dibond board mounted on an aluminium frame, on a Dibond board mounted directly to the wall, or on a box made of Dibond. The solution to be used depends on the location of the display, the size of the overall 3D lettering sign and whether the letters are to be fitted with the option of backlighting.
Our sales staff will be happy to advise you on the most suitable solution.
3D illuminated letters are usually mounted directly to a wall or on an aluminium frame. In the former case, it is necessary to lead a cable to the place where each letter is mounted in order to illuminate the element. In the case of presentation on an aluminium frame, the cables are hidden in the system and only one cable connection point is required. Power supplies are fitted in the case of letters on Dibond boxes, or can be attached at the customer’s request in the case of other mounting variants. Boxes and boards made of Dibond are produced in one of the Didond board colours available as standard. It is possible to print these elements in any colour or motif. Before deciding how our 3D letters are to be mounted, a careful consideration should be given to the location of the display. You need to pay attention to what the wall is made of, whether it can be interfered with, whether it is possible to bring out the connection for the backlighting and whether any additional permits are required.
3D letters are spatial advertising elements used to present a company name, logo, department marking or decorative message in a clear and visible way. They are made as individual elements mounted to the selected installation surface or prepared as part of a free-standing display. Thanks to LED illumination and a three-dimensional form, they combine branding, signage and decoration in one product.
Where 3D letters work best
This type of advertising is suitable for exterior wall signboards, interior wall branding and temporary or permanent decorative installations. 3D letters are often used in shops, shopping malls, showrooms, offices, hotels, restaurants, cafés, medical centres, fitness and beauty locations, gas stations and trade fair spaces. They are a practical choice when the sign must be visible, recognisable and consistent with the visual identity of the brand.
Materials and illumination
The letters can be produced using Dibond, plexi board or PVC. The material is selected according to the expected appearance, place of use and installation method. LED lighting increases visibility and makes the sign easier to notice after dark or in interiors with controlled lighting. The available light colour is 6500–7500 K, and the light angle can reach up to 175 degrees, supporting an even visual effect.
How to choose the right specification
The final configuration depends on several practical factors: the number of letters, their dimensions, the depth of the elements and the required finish. Letter depths are available in 4 cm, 6 cm, 8 cm, 10 cm and 12 cm, which makes it easier to adjust the sign to the size of thefacade, wall or display zone.
- choose shallower letters for compact indoor branding and smaller signs,
- choose deeper letters when stronger spatial impact is needed,
- use LED illumination where visibility is important in the evening or in darker interiors,
- match side colours to the brand identity using standard colours or RAL colours at an extra charge.
The product is priced individually, because every project depends on the layout, size, quantity of elements, depth and finishing requirements. A single 3D element can also be ordered when the project requires only one symbol, sign or decorative form.
Planning 3D letters for a business space
Before ordering 3D letters, it is worth defining where the sign will be installed and from what distance it should be read. Afacade sign for a hotel, restaurant or service point usually requires a different scale than interior lettering in a shopping mall or office reception. The size of the longest side, the total number of elements and the depth of each letter all influence the final price and the production approach.
3D letters can be used as a company signboard, a logotype, internal decoration or a clear marking for sections in retail and service spaces. For events and trade fairs, they can also be prepared as free-standing decorative elements that strengthen brand visibility at a stand, entrance zone or photo area.
Side finish, colour and lighting effect
The colour of the sides has a strong impact on how the finished sign is perceived. Standard side colours are available, while RAL colours can be selected at an extra charge when closer brand matching is required. Checking the visualisation of side finishes and the RAL colour system helps avoid colour mismatches and makes approval easier before production.
LED illumination is used to improve visibility and create a more noticeable spatial effect. Depending on the project, different lighting colours and a flashing effect may be possible. These options are especially useful in environments with high visual competition, such as shopping malls, catering areas, event spaces and high-traffic service locations.
File and order preparation
For efficient production, prepare a clear logo or lettering file with the final shape of each element. The project should define the intended dimensions, installation location, preferred depth, material, side colour and lighting expectations. If the sign is based on a brand logotype, the file should preserve the correct proportions and curves so the final spatial elements match the visual identity.
- confirm the number of letters and any additional logo elements,
- specify the longest side dimension for accurate pricing,
- choose the required letter depth: 4 cm, 6 cm, 8 cm, 10 cm or 12 cm,
- indicate whether the sign is intended for exterior, interior or free-standing use,
- select standard side colours or request a RAL colour option.
Common selection mistakes to avoid
One common mistake is choosing the letter size only by looking at the wall dimensions, without considering viewing distance. A sign that looks proportional in a small visualisation may be too small for afacade or too dominant for a narrow interior. Another issue is leaving the side colour undecided until late in the process, even though it affects the overall appearance of the finished letters.
It is also important to decide early whether the product should function mainly as advertising, decoration or wayfinding. This influences the depth, lighting, mounting concept and the level of visual contrast required. In everyday B2B use, customers may also refer to this product as illuminated channel letters, spatial letters, raised letters or 3D signage. These terms describe similar visual advertising solutions, but the product here remains 3D letters configured to the project requirements.
Individual pricing and production time
Each order is calculated individually. The price depends on the number of elements, dimensions, letter depth, materials, lighting and finishing options. Orders can be processed in a short time, even from 3 working days, depending on the project specification and production confirmation.
