When opening its newest office, ALKEME Insurance collaborated with our team on the design, production, and installation of a 3D letter building sign in Scottsdale, AZ. It is interesting to note that this client is in the majority. Increasingly, new businesses are relying on three-dimensional building letters. Why?
What are Three-Dimensional Building Letters?
Three-dimensional letter building signs, channel letters, and lightbox cabinets are all popular types of signage. Businesses use them for commercial branding. Each signage solution has its unique, distinct strengths. That said, there are advantages of 3D letter building signs when compared to illuminated channel letters or lightbox.
Custom 3D Signs are Excellent Branding Tools With Little Needed Upkeep
- Architectural appeal. The lettering offers opportunities for dimensional and sculptural designs. As such, they provide a bold, clean, and upscale look. We typically manufacture 3D building letters using materials like metal, acrylic, outdoor-rated sign foam, or PVC for a solid, professional finish. Because we control the letter depth and texture, it is possible to focus on signage integration with the building’s architecture.
- No wiring or electricity is needed. Unlike channel letters or lightboxes, 3D letters are typically non-illuminated, which simplifies installation and maintenance. They work well for daytime-only visibility or when lighting is not needed or allowed (e.g., in historic districts or office parks). Subsequently, 3D signs are ideal for businesses that do not want to spend any additional time on LED upkeep. After all, no internal lighting means no bulbs or power supplies to replace.
- Environmentally friendly. For brands that incorporate sustainability, 3D letters are ideally suited for this branding. There is no power consumption when the letters remain unlit. Most importantly, our technicians can manufacture the signage using recycled or sustainable materials.
Dimensional Signage Offers Plenty of Customization Choices
Another reason why 3D letters are gaining popularity is the increasing focus on customization. For example, you already know that you might opt for flat-cut aluminum letters. However, do you want them to be as small as half an inch or as large as 50 inches? Which depth do you prefer? Typical options run from ⅛” to one inch.
Next up, consider your installation options. Stud-mounted flush acrylic letters look great. Of course, using standoffs is another choice. If you choose this installation method, you add the possibility of shadow displays, which contribute to the building sign’s elegance and sophistication. We can even create the illusion that the letters are floating above the building’s facade with the correct setup of standoffs.
