Seeing a flat sign is one thing, seeing a built up three dimensional sign is another. Dimensional letter signage creates depth and shadow, drawing attention from distance and at different angles.
The effect is immediate, it helps customers find you and it signals credibility at a glance. Whether you need illuminated letters for a busy high street, acrylic lettering for a reception, or lightweight letters for an exhibition, 3d signage gives your brand a presence that lasts.
You need a partner who understands design, engineering and installation. ARC UK manages everything from early mock-ups to final site sign-off, ensuring your 3D lettering and any letter signage board installations meet the highest standards. We work closely with marketing teams, facilities managers and architects to meet brand, safety and building requirements.
