Dimensional, or 3D, sign letters are eye-catching, and perfect for lobby and reception entrances. They also look awesome outside, mounted directly on a storefront or building facade.
Since 1983, we’ve made eye-catching dimensional letters for some of the most admired brands in the United States. We stand behind dimensional letters and logos with a no-nonsense, lifetime warranty.

We warranty our dimensional letters for life. This means that if any of our letters ever fades or breaks, we will replace, or refinish, at no cost to you.
These hand made letters are lightweight and extremely durable. Choice from one of our standard metal finishes or painted aluminum, available in 36 standard paint colors. We can also paint your letters to match your brands Pantone (PMS) color.
Available thickness (Depth): 2″ to 6″
Cut metal letters are CNC machine cut and solid metal. They have less depth than fabricated letters but offer a natural, elegant look that cannot be replicated with paint. Choose from Aluminum, steel, copper, brass or the natural rust look of Corten.
Available thickness (Depth): 1/4″, 3/8″, 1/2″, 3/4″ and 1″
An affordable way to add dimension to your brand. Acrylic letters are stunning, durable, and relatively inexpensive.
Available thickness (Depth): 1/4″, 3/8″, 1/2″, 3/4″ and 1″
Dimensional letters are three dimensional (3D) sign letters, which are made out of metal, acrylic or plastic.
Different materials options have their own unique production process. Fabricated metal letters, for example, are made by bending thin metal returns (sides) around a flat CNC cut metal face. The returns (sides) and face are welded together to form the letter (or logo). The inside of these letters are hollow and the letters, themselves, are light weight.
Cut metal letters, also referred to as “Flat cut” letters, are made by machine. A CNC (usually a router or plasma cutter), will cut the letters out of sheet metal. The thickness of the sheet metal determine the thickness of the letters. Cut metal letters are solid and heavier in weight than fabricated metal.
Acrylic letters are made in a similar way as flat cut metal letters, in that a CNC machine (usually a router or a laser), will cut the letters out of a sheet of acrylic. The thickness of the acrylic will be the thickness of the letters. They are solid letters but more lightweight than solid cut metal letters.
Production time will vary based on the material and complexity of the project design. In general, lead times will be:
Cut acrylic or metal (unfinished): 2-4 business days
– With premium metal finish or painting: 7-15 business days
Fabricated metal (unfinished): 3-5 business days
– With premium metal finish or painting: 7-15 business days
The price will vary greatly based on material, finish, thickness and complexity of design. On average, for a 12″ high letter in 1/4″ thick aluminum, expect to pay between $100-$200 per letter. The same letter in brass, copper, or stainless steel would add a premium. The same letter in 1/4″ acrylic would be between $40-$100 each.
