Matte black aluminum wayfinding letters
A finished exterior wayfinding set with flat-cut aluminum lettering and a matte black powder-coated finish. The workshop photo shows one completed line from the directional layout.
The brief
Directional copy with individual letters.
The layout combined multiple lines of directional copy with a separate arrow. The buyer needed the project expedited and confirmed the post-purchase drawing.
The production file specified 5 mm flat-cut aluminum and RAL 9005 powder coating on the faces and edges. It called for VHB tape mounting, with the wall surface still to be confirmed.
What should a sign shop confirm before ordering tape-mounted flat-cut wayfinding letters?
Provide the full layout, including the arrow, and confirm the exact installation surface with your installer. This job specified VHB tape. The surface was still open in the production file, so the same mounting method should be evaluated separately for another site.
