What They Are
Letters You Can See From the Side
Dimensional letters are separate letters and logo pieces with real thickness, mounted to the wall one at a time. People also call them 3D letters, raised letters or wall letters.
Unlike flat vinyl lettering, they cast a shadow and catch the light, so your name looks built in. Unlike channel letters, they have no lights or wiring, so they cost less and go up faster.
Pick the material first. It sets the look, the weight, where the letters can go and the price.
Raised and separateEach letter cut and mounted on its own.
Any colorFaces and sides painted to your brand.
Any sizeFrom a desk logo to a building wall.
No wiringUnlit, so no power or electrician.

Sizing
How Tall Should Your Letters Be?
A simple rule works for most jobs: plan about 1 inch of letter height for every 10 feet people stand from the wall.
- Measure from where people first see the wall, like the front door or the elevator.
- Treat the chart as the minimum. Lobby logos usually look better larger.
- Thin script fonts need more height than bold block letters.
- Send a wall photo with a tape measure in it and we will mock up the size.
More on sizing in our guide to choosing the right sign size.

FAQs
Dimensional Letter Questions
What New Jersey businesses ask before ordering 3D letters.
What are dimensional letters?
Dimensional letters are separate letters and logo pieces with real thickness, mounted to a wall one at a time. They are also called 3D letters, raised letters or wall letters. They come in metal, acrylic, PVC and foam, and they are not lit.
What is the difference between dimensional letters and channel letters?
Lighting. Channel letters are hollow letters with LEDs inside and need a power connection. Dimensional letters have no lights, so they cost less, install faster and need less permit work.
Which material is best for outdoor letters in New Jersey?
Aluminum, stainless steel, bronze, acrylic and formed plastic all handle New Jersey weather. Near the shore, aluminum or marine grade stainless resists salt air best. Keep foam and PVC letters indoors.
How tall should my letters be?
Plan about 1 inch of letter height for every 10 feet of viewing distance. Letters read from 30 feet away should be at least 3 inches tall. That is the minimum, and lobby logos usually look better larger.
How are raised letters attached to the wall?
Most go up with threaded studs set into the wall, tight to the surface or with spacers so they float. Light letters on smooth walls or glass can use mounting tape. Tell us if the letters may move later, because tape can pull paint.
Can you match my brand colors?
Yes. We paint letter faces and sides to the Pantone or paint colors you give us. Brushed and polished metal shows the natural color of the metal.
How much do 3D letters cost?
It depends on the material, height, number of letters, finish, mounting and install access. Foam and PVC cost the least and metal costs the most. Send your logo, a wall photo and a rough size and we will price it.
Do you install dimensional letters in New York City?
Yes, in all five boroughs. Indoor letters usually go up without a permit. For outdoor letters we check the city rules for your address first. See our NYC service area.
