Rim & Return Shop Sign Letters

A new style of signage

Made typically from commercial quality 304 grade steel, the 3D letters are bespoke and made to order to whichever font or size you need. A flat sheet of steel is laser-cut to the shape and size of the logo or font. In order to create the depth of the letter a return strip of steel is welded onto the side of the letter which makes it look solid and three-dimensional. The letters can either be left plain or powder-coated / painted in the specific RAL colour of your choice and then fitted to a shop fascia, office wall or sign in a number of fixing methods such as:

• Flush fixing: letters are fitted flush to the surface of the wall with descrete fixings
• Raised fixing: letters are fitted with stand-off brackets so the letters stand proud off the wall surface

These type of letters are ideal for both internal or external use and can be fitted to a shop fascia, brick wall or internal office wall.

Rim & Return letters are often produced in following thicknesses however if you require an alternative thickness then please speak to a member of our sales team: 

• 20mm
• 30mm
• 40mm
• 50mm

Choosing your RAL Colour Paint finish

The custom made letters are available in a whole range of RAL colours and finishes. Once the letters are cut to size, they're cleaned and primed before being painted / powder coated.

Powder coating is a type of painted coating that is applied as a dry powder. The main difference between a typical liquid paint and a powder coating is that the powder coating does not require a solvent to keep the binder and filler parts in a liquid suspension form. The coating is typically applied electrostatically and is then cured under heat to allow it to flow and form a "skin" surface finish in whichever colour you desire.

When choosing your desired colour, it's advised to pick the RAL colour reference from a physical RAL colour chart book so you can get a true indication on how the colour looks. When you view colour references online, they can differ slightly depending on your screen resolution.

Choices of Acrylic

There's a vast range of Perspex Acrylic coloured plastics available for the acrylic inserts which make up the face of the built up letters. If a specific colour is needed then it's likely that we're able to get a close match using an existing coloured acrylic from the Perspex range. If we're unable to get a close match then the acrylic can be wrapped in vinyl to achieve a particular pantone or RAL colour.

We're also able to digitally print a high resolution image or pattern onto vinyl which is applied to the acrylic face which is a fun and exciting way of creating something completely unique.
