Here at Epic Signs & Graphics, one of the products we provide are dimensional letters. They enhance a business name or a slogan when displayed on walls. They can also be used for quotes or emphasis of company core values for example. They can be mounted on the walls a couple different ways as well to provide different types of looks. See below for explanations of the types of options that are available and then give us call for a free consultation.

There are three common materials to sart with for 3D wall lettering including plastic, metal or hard foam. From there we break into different types depending on the use of the letters. Plastic letter signs for example can be made with formed or injection molded plastic or with laser cut acrylic. The formed plastic letters are available in 30 plus standard colors such as red, blue, green, brown, yellow, orange and more. We can also provide these in custom colors by  painting, so really there is an unlimited selection for color. In addition the formed plastic letters are available in standard fonts and there are 3 different depth profiles, flat, round and creased. Formed plastic letters can even be enhanced with chrome finish or illuminated with LED lights. Formed plasticletters are generally the lowest cost lettersavailable but laser cut acrylic can also be very cost effective.

Acrylic letters provide a clean, crisp, sharp look for a professional look on dimensional lobby signs, wall applications and also on exterior signs. While plastic formed letters are hollow inside, arylics are solid and routed from sheets. Laser cut technology provides opportunities to shape acrylic into vertually any shape so that logos can be created dimensionally. Acrylic letters have many options for finishing besides standard colors and custom painting. They can be laminated to simulate metal. A fine layer of matal is applied that is finished in brush, chrome, marble, gold, brass, copper and many other options. Acrylic letters are available in thicknesses from 1/8" thickness up to 1".

The other option to consider for certain wall sign applications is hard foam with the letters faces finshed with acrylic, metal or foil laminnate applied. Because of the laminate applications, there are many options to choose from like various metals, marble, wood and others. Hard foam letters are light weight and are also routed with laser technology. These are painted with any  color based on the pantone color chart or the Sherwin Williams color chart.
