What is Plastic Lettering?
Plastic lettering refers to a type of business sign composed of three dimensional, individually fabricated plastic letters. Each letter is carefully crafted in the highest quality plastic. Almost any size, font/typeface/style, and color are possible, as plastic is the perfect material for creating custom styles that you envision for your signs. Plastic lettering in NY can be used outdoors above a building’s front entrance to display a business’s name or address, or indoors in a business’s lobby along with its logo. It can also be layered on top of other signs, and it can be designed flat or with more prominent dimensions. Our plastic lettering sign material is durable and resistant to weather damage like fading from the sun and moisture. The 3D, shadowed effect they can create is not only eye-catching but cost-effective. This is the type of signage to use if you want your business to be recognizable as soon as possible thanks to its professional and customizable qualities.
Types Of Plastic Letters
When it comes to a professional look, quality material, and longevity, the type of plastic lettering you choose for your business matters a lot. With acrylic letters the possibilities are endless. Following are the most popular types of acrylic letters offered at Signs NYC:
Acrylic
Acrylic material has the same clear, smooth surface as glass but is lighter and more durable, it is a great material for both outdoor and indoor letter signs.
Plexiglass
When you need a glass that is both strong and flexible, plexiglass is the best, it is the same crystal clear as glass yet can be molded at low temperatures.
Lettering can be made from several different types of plastic, including acrylic, plexiglass, and more. Each material includes different advantages, so your planned use of your lettering will determine which kind you choose. Acrylic is a popular choice because there are so many size and font options, they’re flatter in design, and can be backlit. Molded plastic lettering tends to have more depth, making them stand out more from their installation surface, and are more cost effective than acrylic, but don’t have as many customization options and can’t be backlit.
Technical Specs
The seemingly limitless custom option for plastic lettering is a major advantage it has over other types of lettering and signage. Plastic is a durable, easily shaped material that can more easily fit into your budget and perfectly match your desired aesthetic. It can even be made to look like more high-end materials like metal, or exactly match your custom color.
