Box letters are made of various materials such as aluminum, acrylic or stainless steel. They often have a 3D design and are hollow inside. The back part of the box letter is fitted with a light source, usually LED lighting, which illuminates the letter from the inside. This creates a striking visual effect that attracts attention and increases the visibility of the message.

Box letters are available in a variety of sizes, colors and fonts, making them a popular choice for advertising and signage applications. They can be used both indoors and outdoors, depending on specific requirements and environmental conditions.

Illuminated box letters offer several advantages over other types of signage, such as traditional illuminated signs and neon letters. They are more durable, energy efficient, easier to maintain and offer a high degree of flexibility and adaptability. This makes them an effective way to communicate a brand message and enhance a company's visual appeal.

How is a box letter made?

A box letter consists of a side wall, a back wall, and a front. The front is usually made of acrylic or stretched fabric and determines the color and appearance of the letter when illuminated. The side wall gives the letter its depth and three-dimensional appearance. Inside the letter, LED modules or LED strips are installed to provide uniform illumination.

Production always begins with a custom design. Then, the parts are milled or cut based on the font and desired dimensions. This is followed by assembly, wiring, and a quality control check before the letter is installed on-site.

Applications of box letters

Box letters are used in a variety of environments:

  • On facades of shops, offices and hospitality as visible brand identity
  • In shopping malls and retail environments as in-store signage
  • On business parks as outdoor advertising that is also visible in the evening
  • In reception lobbies and office spaces as representative wall decoration

For facade applications, box letters are often combined with other forms of facade advertising, such as lightboxes or loose cut letters. In retail and shop applications, box letters are often part of a broader Signing concept.
