3D Box Letter Signs
Let’s Print an Amazing Artwork Together
Box Letters known for its bold aesthetics, both eye catching and visually appealing used in any scenario. All of our 3D signs are available in a range of different styles and materials to ensure we can cater to every business.
Perhaps the most important benefit of using 3D lettering for your logo is that it allows the logo to stand out, creating a built up aesthetic. An emboldened logo catches the eye and makes people take note, which is a great way to both catch the eye and entice people to check out your business.
What are Box Letters (Built-up Letters)?
A box letter (also called a 3D built-up letter or box letters sign) is a 3D letter with a top face, sides and back, typically 50–100mm deep. This construction allows LEDs to be fitted inside for illumination and creates a premium, high-impact sign that catches the eye day and night. Box letters are the top choice for premium retail, hospitality and corporate shop fronts.

FAQs - Box Letters
Are box letters weatherproof?
Yes, our outdoor box letters use marine-grade LEDs, IP-rated transformers and fully sealed construction. They’re engineered to withstand harsh British weather conditions year-round.
How long do box letters last?
The letter structures themselves last 15+ years, while the internal LEDs are rated for 50,000+ hours. That gives you roughly 8–12 years of reliable daily illumination before any components need attention.
Can existing box letters be refurbished?
Yes, we can retrofit new LEDs, replace faded acrylic faces and repaint returns without removing the letters from the wall. It’s a cost-effective way to refresh your signage without starting from scratch.
What's the difference between box letters and channel letters?
They’re the same product — “box letter” is the standard UK term, while “channel letter” is the US equivalent. Both refer to three-dimensional, internally illuminated letter forms.
How much do box letters cost?
Box letter pricing typically starts from £1,200 for a small set and rises depending on size, finish and quantity. We provide a fixed-price quote after a free site survey so there are no surprises.
What finishes are available for box letters?
We offer painted aluminium in any RAL colour, brushed or mirror-polished stainless steel, and powder-coated finishes. Acrylic faces can be colour-matched to your brand for a seamless look.
