Flat-Cut Letters & Logos
Precision-cut letters and logos for clean architectural branding.
Flat-Cut Letters & Logos create a refined dimensional presentation without internal illumination. Each element is precision cut from aluminum, 304 stainless steel, acrylic, or PVC, then finished and prepared for flush or standoff mounting.

Flat-Cut Letters & Logos
Precision-cut non-illuminated letters, numbers, logos, wayfinding elements, address signs, and custom shapes.
Minimum Stroke Width
10 mm / approximately 3/8"
This is the standard minimum planning limitation. Narrower strokes require engineering review and may not be feasible.
Materials
Acrylic, aluminum, or 304 stainless steel
Material is selected around finish, scale, weight, environment, rigidity, mounting, and budget. Metallic finishes are limited to aluminum and 304 stainless steel.
Material Depth / Thickness
Commonly 1/4", 1/2", or 3/4"; available up to 1"
Final depth is selected around material, overall scale, stroke width, unsupported spans, mounting method, weight, and the desired dimensional profile.
Mounting
Flush-mounted or standoff-mounted
Studs, spacers, mechanical fasteners, and approved adhesive assistance are selected around the substrate and project requirements.
Finish
Pantone/PMS or Sherwin-Williams color match; material-specific metallic finishes
Paint colors can be matched to Pantone/PMS or Sherwin-Williams references. Brushed, polished, mirror, anodized, plated, and other metallic finishes are available only on compatible aluminum or 304 stainless steel substrates.
Edge Condition
Cut, routed, machined, polished, or finished
Edge treatment is coordinated with material, thickness, viewing distance, finish, and installation height.
Templates
Paper or full-size installation pattern
Mounting patterns and stud locations can be prepared for consistent field installation.
Application
Interior or exterior
Material, finish, mounting hardware, adhesives, and corrosion protection are reviewed for the environment.
3 / Size & Depth
Artwork geometry and material depth determine flat-cut feasibility.
Stroke width, counters, bridges, overall dimensions, selected depth, unsupported spans, mounting locations, weight, and finish are reviewed together.
Stroke & Depth Planning Standards
The minimum standard stroke width is 10 mm, approximately 3/8 inch.
Common material depths are 1/4 inch, 1/2 inch, and 3/4 inch, with depths available up to 1 inch.
Final availability is confirmed by material, scale, geometry, finish, and mounting requirements.
Dimensional Review
Project-specific flat-cut planning
The following factors determine the final material and production method.
Planning Factor
Production Review
Minimum Stroke Width
10 mm / approximately 3/8". Narrower strokes may require artwork modification or an alternate material and process.
Overall Width & Height
Custom by project and confirmed from approved artwork, wall area, viewing distance, handling, and shipping requirements.
Counters & Openings
Small counters and narrow openings are reviewed for clean cutting, edge quality, finish access, and structural stability.
Bridges & Connections
Thin connections, sharp corners, and long unsupported features may require reinforcement or artwork adjustment.
Material Depth / Thickness
Common options are 1/4", 1/2", and 3/4", with depths available up to 1". Final selection depends on material, scale, rigidity, mounting, weight, exposure, and the desired profile.
Mounting Locations
Studs and fasteners are positioned to support the design while preserving clean installation and alignment.
Sectional Construction
Large elements may be divided for freight, access, handling, installation, or material-sheet limitations.
Before Final Approval
Material, thickness, mounting, and finish are confirmed after artwork review.
Artwork FeasibilityStroke width is verified
Minimum strokes, counters, bridges, corners, and connected shapes are reviewed before production.
Material & DepthCommon depths from 1/4" to 3/4"
Depths up to 1" are available. Scale, rigidity, finish, weight, environment, mounting, and material availability determine the final specification.
Installation PlanningMounting locations are coordinated
Stud spacing, standoffs, wall type, templates, access, and installer requirements are confirmed early.

Construction Details
Primary stages used to produce installer-ready Flat-Cut Letters & Logos.
1
Artwork ReviewGeometry and minimum strokes verified
Contours, counters, bridges, corners, and the 10 mm minimum stroke standard are reviewed before production.
2
Material & Depth SelectionAcrylic, aluminum, or 304 stainless steel
Common depths are 1/4", 1/2", and 3/4", with depths available up to 1". Final selection is coordinated with finish, scale, rigidity, weight, exposure, and mounting.
3
Precision CuttingCut, routed, or machined to approved files
The selected production process creates the approved face, edges, openings, and mounting provisions.
4
Finish & Edge WorkProject-specific surface and edge treatment
Painting, brushing, polishing, plating, material color, edge finishing, and protective treatment are completed as specified.
5
Mounting PreparationStuds, spacers, hardware, and templates
Mounting locations, hardware, standoff depth, patterns, and installation notes are prepared for the approved wall condition.
4 / Mounting
Mounting selected around the desired profile and wall condition.
Flush and standoff installations are both available. Stud type, spacer depth, fastener locations, adhesives, templates, and access are confirmed before fabrication.
Mounting Configurations
Flush-mounted or standoff-mounted
Flush mounting keeps the letters close to the wall for a minimal profile. Standoff mounting creates additional depth and a controlled shadow line.
Flush MountClose-to-wall installation
Studs or mechanical fasteners hold the element close to the substrate with minimal visible separation.
Standoff MountSpacer-supported depth
Spacers establish a controlled offset for added dimensionality, shadow, and surface clearance.
Wall TypeSubstrate-specific hardware
Concrete, masonry, wood, drywall, metal panels, and specialty façades require different anchors and access planning.
Stud LocationsCoordinated with geometry
Fasteners are distributed around the design to support alignment, rigidity, and installation access.
Standoff DepthProject-specific spacing
Spacer length is selected around the desired shadow, profile, cleaning access, and wall irregularities.
Adhesive AssistanceUsed where appropriate
Approved tapes or adhesives may supplement mechanical mounting for suitable lightweight interior applications.
Installation PatternFull-size placement guide
Paper patterns can identify outlines, baselines, stud holes, spacing, and alignment reference points.
Installer CoordinationConfirmed before fabrication
Access, lifts, wall preparation, drilling, anchors, tolerances, and field conditions are documented early.
