Laser cut acrylic lettering

For companies that need signage that exudes elegance and professionalism, laser cut acrylic lettering can be the perfect choice.

What is laser cut acrylic lettering?

laser cut acrylic lettering consists of text and/or logos made from sheets of acrylic cut into precise shapes by a laser beam. The acrylic used is solid and top of the range – for example, plexiglass.

The application of a laser for cutting produces clean edges. This is further helped by the heat generated by its beam. Because acrylic is a thermoplastic, the heat softens and melts the edges while cutting them, producing a smooth finish when they dry.

The completed laser cut acrylic lettering will feature pristine edges that naturally catch any light sources. This gives the letters attractiveness and depth.

Laser cut acrylic lettering is often used for the signage on the walls of an office reception. It is also popular among high-end retail outlets seeking front-of-shop signage. Other places you will see it are in exhibition and event spaces.

Key specifications and options

Range of depth and thickness

The standard thicknesses are 3mm, 5mm and 10mm. The first is the most lightweight choice, while the last one creates the most noticeable 3D effect. 25mm thickness provides an even greater impact.

Finish

A variety of finishes are available for laser cut acrylic lettering. They include modern matte, high-gloss, premium metallic (rose, silver or gold mirror), custom metal veneers, frosted, solid colour, custom painted or transparent.

Durability

Lettering that is laser cut from acrylic is very durable. It is able to withstand both UV rays and rain. This means it will make for long-lasting interior or exterior signage that does not crack or lose its colours.

Mounting options

The letters can be mounted with double-sided high-strength VHB tape if the surface is flat.

Alternatively, stand-off wall mounting can be used to achieve a shadow effect. This can be enhanced by putting standard or self-adhesive vinyl on the face of each letter or behind them.
