3D signage is one of the most effective ways to give your branding extra presence, especially for shopfronts, reception walls and building façades. At Hunter Signs, we make custom 3D letters in-house using specialised equipment that shapes and assembles each piece with precision. Here’s a quick look at how it works and why more businesses are choosing raised lettering for their signs.
How We Make 3D Letters
The process starts by cutting the front of each letter from acrylic or composite panel using a CNC router. To give the letter its depth, we form the sides (called returns) from aluminium strip. These are shaped using a letter bending machine that follows the outline of the letter exactly. Once the sides and face are joined, you have a strong, clean-built 3D letter ready for painting, lighting or mounting.
This setup lets us produce everything from basic block letters to more detailed logos and custom shapes. The finished product is durable, neat and ideal for a wide range of applications.
Built In-House For Better Results
We do all our 3D fabrication in-house, which means shorter lead times, better quality control and more flexibility for our clients. With the right equipment on hand, we can take on detailed work without delays or third-party costs. It also allows us to offer a wider range of finishes, including powder-coated colours, brushed metal and illuminated acrylic faces.
Whether you’re after a sleek look for your reception area or bold outdoor signage for your business, 3D letters give you a sharp, professional finish that lasts.
Why 3D Signage Works
There’s a reason so many businesses are choosing dimensional signs. The added depth helps your branding stand out in busy areas and makes your signage easier to read from a distance. 3D signs also look more permanent and high-end, which reflects well on your business.
Raised lettering can be mounted directly to walls or spaced off for extra shadow effect. Add internal LED lighting, and it stays visible long after dark. It’s a smart way to create signage that does more than just tick a box.
