Illuminated letters: choose the lighting effect first
The lighting effect decides how the letter is built, so it is the first thing to agree.
- Face lit letters. The face is translucent acrylic and the LEDs shine forward through it. The lettering reads clearly from a distance at night, which suits high streets and retail parks.
- Halo lit letters. The face and sides are closed (dibond or aluminium), and the LEDs light the wall behind the letter. You get a soft outline of light and a solid, metallic look by day. Halo lit letters need a stand-off from the wall and a reasonably even, light-coloured background.
- Face and halo lit. Both effects in one letter, for entrances and reception walls where the sign is seen close up and from afar.
- Non-illuminated letters. CNC-routed dibond, acrylic or thick foam PVC, fixed on stand-off spacers or flat to the wall.
Not sure which suits your façade? Send a photo of the wall and we will suggest the effect and the letter depth.

How we make built up acrylic letters and channel letters
Our plant in Wieluń, Poland, has made signs since 1991, and most letter work happens on machines we own:
- CNC routing and laser cutting of acrylic faces, dibond backs and foam PVC
- 3D printing of channel letter bodies in one piece, with no bending or welding of the return; the body is printed, fitted with LEDs and closed with a face
- Acrylic edge polishing and bending, painting in RAL colours, vinyl overlays for metallic or chrome effects
- A 3D scanner for matching an existing logo or letter shape when no artwork exists
Our studio checks the artwork, vectorises a logo from a bitmap if needed (approx. €26 net) and prepares a production drawing with letter sizes, depths, LED layout and fixing points before anything is cut.
Built up letters trade supply
For sign makers and shopfitters we supply letters ready to fit: each letter labelled and packed separately, power supplies and wiring marked, fixing points shown on the drawing. Because we also print large format, we can print a full-size paper fixing template for drilling. Orders go out in neutral packaging with no logo of ours if you resell them. How trade orders work is described on our white label printing page.
If the letters sit on a panel or above a light box, we make both together; see light box manufacturer and the wider range on our sign manufacturer page.
