Cardboard letters can be produced in our standard Arial Bold or Impact Condensed fonts, in sizes up to 1800 mm high and with enough depth to stand independently.

We can also manufacture supplied fonts, logos and bespoke shapes. The faces and backs are normally made from rigid board, with corrugated card or thinner card used around the edges according to the shape and finish required.

Lightweight Hollow Construction

The hollow construction keeps large cardboard letters relatively lightweight and easier to position than many solid display pieces.

When the display is no longer required, plain cardboard letters can be flattened to a fraction of their assembled volume. Suitability for reuse or disposal depends on the finish, fixings and how the letters have been handled.

Letters can be supplied in plain card or cardboard, ready for your own decoration, or covered with papier-mâché for a textured patchwork appearance and additional strength.

Other options include painted colours, glitter, Finerock™ and specialist decorative finishes. We can recommend a suitable option based on the appearance, handling, timescale, budget and intended life of the display.

Many 3D cardboard letters are freestanding. Depending on their size and intended use, cardboard or MDF bases can be fitted to improve stability in event, graduation and public-facing spaces.

MDF or plywood can also be incorporated into the bottom of a letter where it needs to be screwed to a plinth. Hanging points and fixing bars can be built into the hollow construction when required.
