3D Stainless Steel Letters for Your Business or Organization

Stainless  steel  letters  and  logos  are  used  as  reliable  forms  of  signage  across  the  board  from
large  buildings,  offices  and  businesses  to  retail  outlets,  restaurants,  schools  and  warehouses.
Stainless  steel  lettering  ultimately  displays  a  classy  look  which  you  don’t  get  from  other
production methods and it denotes permanence, reliability and dependability.
‍
If your shop sign requires real metal lettering then we are able to supply your shop front with a
bespoke  and  unique  look  by  using  with  our  range  of  materials:  stainless  steel,  brass,  and
copper.

Popular types of stainless steel letters
When  selecting  a  stainless  steel  it's  important  to  go  for  a  quality  material  that  is  guaranteed
free from defects and that is designed to deliver the right results. We source our stainless steel
lettering  from  leading  suppliers.  This  gives  you  the  best  material  at  the  best  price.  The  raw
materials  are  then  cut  into  letter  shapes  or  company  logos  to  match  your  individual  design
requirements.
‍
Built-Up Lettering
Built-up letters give you a three dimensional feel to your sign which makes them stand out from
flat  cut  lettering.  This  type  of  stainless  steel  lettering  is  manufactured  from  a  flat  steel  sheet
and fabricated to produce each unique letter.
‍
The  built-up  letters  consist  of  a  "letter  face"  which  is  displayed  on  the  front  of  the  sign  and  a
"return side" which is also visible when fixed to the wall. This method gives the illusion that the
letters  are  solid  when  in  actual  fact  they're  hollow.  The  advantages  in  using  this  method  is  it
reduces the cost as well as the weight  of the shop  sign so they  can be displayed  and  fixed  to
virtually any wall or front of shop.
‍
These type of letters are made to order in a range of fonts, sizes and styles. The shape of the
letter is laser cut from a flat sheet of steel. A strip of steel is folded around the side of the letter
to create the return side and depth of the letters. This is usually soldered onto the side of the
letter  and  a  range  of  return  sizes  are  used  depending  on  how  thick  or  chunky  you'd  like  the
letters to look. A paper-based fixing template is usually used to ensure all the fixings are in the
correct position.
‍
Flat-Cut Lettering
Flat-cut  letters are also design to give you a three dimensional feel to your sign  –  they’re just
not as chunky as the Built-Up 3D Stainless Steel Letters. The flat-cut letters consist of a "letter
face"  which  is  displayed  on  the  front  of  the  sign  and  not  a  "return  side".  The  advantages  in
using this method is it reduces the cost compared to the built-up letters as well as the weight of
the shop sign so they can be displayed and fixed to virtually any wall or front of shop.
The  shape  of  the  letter  is  laser  cut  from  a  flat  steel  sheet.  A  paper-based  fixing  template  is
usually used to ensure all the fixings are in the correct position.​ Stainless Trim,
