What Are Metal Letters?
Metal letters, also known as 3 Dimensional Letters (3D), are a set of precisely cut, flat metal characters joined together to make a sign. Metal letters are fabricated using state of the art methods like CNC routing and Water Jetting.
Most commonly cut out of aluminum, metal letters are often wanted by businesses who want to radiate a high end, professional brand image. You can usually find metal letter signs mounted on the wall in an office lobby or above reception.
