PVC Routed Letters
PVC Routed Letters are an economical option, which can be used for indoor projects, like lobby signs and indoor wayfinding, but it is also an interesting alternative for outdoor jobs that needs smaller than 20” tall letters. In case of larger letters we would recommend acrylic or aluminum.
Acrylic Routed Letters
Acrylic Routed Letters are an extremely versatile product, which can be used in virtually any application. It can be easily laser cut or routed with our CNC machine for small as well as large applications. Most letters will range from ¼” till ¾” thick. Here at Elite Letters & Logos, we custom paint acrylic routed letters, or you might choose a stock colored acrylic for a more economical project.
Aluminum Routed Letters
Government projects or large developments often will require aluminum routed letters in their projects. It will ramp up the costs but at the same time the sign will have a longer durability. Our aluminum letters vary from 1/8” till ½” thick. This type of wholesale routed letters will be primed and painted with enamel automotive paint, ensuring long-term longevity.
Wholesale Routed Letters Tips
We have long-lasting relationships with our customers, being part of the sign industry and talking with sign shop owners and managers every day, we attempt to deliver not only great signs but also our knowledge and experience. Dimensional signs are in the core of our industry, here are a few tips we share with our partners:
– Design with a location in mind: indoor, outdoor…it matters! Avoid brushed laminates or any sort of unusual finishes for outdoor jobs. The sun exposure and humidity will influence the longevity of the sign. Gloss finishing will not help the readability of indoor signs and the glare will be a problem due to indoor lighting.
– Know your budget: different materials have different prices! Your customers might want that brass finish, but if they do not have the budget, choose PVC and we will paint in brass. It’s not the same but will be close!
– Production: think production! PVC cannot be laser cut and low angles cannot be routed. There are physical limitations that will impede some designs to be manufactured. The design needs to be adapted to the manufacturing method in some projects.
