Acrylic Letters Cut to Size: Printed, Clear & Mirror

Otypo's acrylic letters are individual letters, words, numbers or shapes cut from acrylic (plexiglass, often called Perspex®) to your design: Printed plexiglass in the colour of your choice, Transparent plexiglass (clear, green or blue) or Mirror plexiglass (silver, gold, rose gold), 3, 5 or 8 mm thick. Printed and clear acrylic go indoors and outdoors; mirror stays indoors. Any size from 7 cm to 4 m. Fix them with Ultra Adhesive, magnets on a steel surface, or snap-on spacers about 1.5 cm off the wall, with a paper mounting template. Made and dispatched within one working day, with tiered pricing by size.

Acrylic Letters Cut to Your Design

An acrylic cut letter is a solid piece cut flat from an acrylic sheet. It is not a sticker and not a hollow box letter. You can order a single word, a business name, a quote, house numbers or a shape, all as custom acrylic letters cut to size. Acrylic is a rigid, glossy plastic, so "acrylic plastic letters" and "plexiglass letters" describe the same thing as Perspex letters.

The "3D" in 3D acrylic letters or 3D Perspex® letters comes from two things: the thickness of the sheet, with 8 mm giving the boldest effect in plexiglass, and the shadow created when letters sit on spacers. For a chunkier block look, expanded PVC goes up to 19 mm and our wooden letters for walls come in 18 to 19 mm.

You design your acrylic lettering in our online editor and see a live preview before you order, with no quote to request. Choose from the editor’s fonts, including script and handwritten styles such as Pacifico, Great Vibes or Dancing Script. You cannot upload a font, but you can upload a file with your text converted to outlines in an SVG.

Looking for acrylic letters near me, in the UK, or wondering where to buy acrylic letters online? Every order is cut in our own workshop and made and shipped within 24 working hours; delivery options and costs appear at checkout. For wholesale acrylic letters, the same tiered pricing by size applies. Acrylic is one of many materials in our range of cut-out letters and shapes, where you can compare all materials side by side.

Laser Cut and Flat Cut Acrylic Letters

"Flat cut" is the sign trade term for letters cut from a sheet rather than built up. Our acrylic letters are cut by laser or CNC router, depending on the sheet, with a bevelled edge possible for added relief. The result is crisp outlines on every acrylic flat cut letter.

Letters can be joined or separate depending on your design. Script fonts often connect into a single piece, while block fonts give individual letters; the editor preview shows exactly how your custom laser cut acrylic letters will be cut. For flat cut lettering in other materials, see our flat cut letters.

Rather than claim to sell the best laser cut acrylic letters, we focus on what makes a good one: a thickness suited to the letter height, a clean file, and a fixing matched to the surface. As for the price of laser cut acrylic letters, it is tiered by size and shows live in the editor.

Printed, Clear or Mirror: Choosing Your Acrylic

The editor offers three acrylics. Here is how they compare:

• Printed plexiglass: 3, 5 or 8 mm; colour of your choice (printed); indoor and outdoor; best for coloured brand lettering, receptions and shop fronts; fixings: Ultra Adhesive, magnetic, snap-on spacers.
• Transparent plexiglass: 3, 5 or 8 mm in clear, 3 mm in green or blue (green and blue max 600 × 600 mm); indoor and outdoor; best for glass-like, minimal lettering; fixings: snap-on spacers recommended, magnetic.
• Mirror plexiglass: 3 mm; silver, gold or rose gold mirror; indoor only; best for décor, salons and boutiques; fixings: Ultra Adhesive, magnetic, snap-on spacers.

Minimum height is 7 cm and maximum size 4,000 × 2,400 mm, except transparent green and blue.

Black acrylic letters, white acrylic letters, red acrylic letters or your exact brand colour all come from Printed plexiglass. If you searched for painted acrylic letters, note that the colour is printed, not painted, which keeps it precise and consistent. For a thick, solid black block, Black expanded PVC 19 mm is the better match.

Clear acrylic letters give a subtle, glass-like look, ideal on coloured walls; if you need a full clear panel instead, browse our transparent acrylic signs. Mirror plexiglass suits interiors only; for more gold décor see gold and mirror wall letters or solid brass letters.

Small and Large Acrylic Letters: from 7 cm to 4 m

Small acrylic letters start at 7 cm high, and large acrylic letters or large perspex letters go up to 4,000 × 2,400 mm per piece. The only exception is transparent green and blue, limited to 600 × 600 mm. Magnetic and spacer fixings also need each piece to be at least 20 × 20 mm.

Match thickness to height: 3 mm works well for small door or counter lettering, while 5 to 8 mm gives presence on a reception wall or shop front. Capital and lowercase heights vary by font, so check the editor preview for the real layout. For large formats, an SVG file gives the cleanest result.

Acrylic Letters for Walls and Interiors

Acrylic letters for walls bring a polished finish to a living room word, a hair salon name, a reception quote or an office feature wall. Decorative acrylic letters on snap-on spacers seem to float, which makes 3D acrylic letters for wall displays stand out. Every piece is made to measure, never an off-the-shelf A to Z.

For a child's name, explore our name signs; for a company emblem, a 3D wall logo is the natural choice.

Acrylic Sign Letters for Shop Fronts, Receptions and Offices

Acrylic letters for signs are raised letters fixed directly to a façade, shop window, reception wall or an existing sign board or fascia. When people search for 3D acrylic signs, 3D acrylic signage or a 3D acrylic letter sign board, they usually mean these relief letters, not a printed panel. If you want the panel itself, our acrylic signs cover that need.

From our experience with sign makers, acrylic signage letters work best in Printed plexiglass for brand colours, flat cut and raised on spacers. Printed and transparent acrylic are suitable outdoors; on a heavily exposed façade, aluminium letters are often preferable. For a full exterior project, see letters for outside signs, or compare sign letters in every material. You can also browse our work for inspiration.

Raised acrylic letters on spacers

Snap-on spacers hold each letter about 1.5 cm off the wall, casting a soft shadow. The fixings come pre-mounted on the back, with female sockets, screws and a paper drilling template supplied for accurate placement.

Acrylic or PVC Letters?

Looking for thicker, matt or lighter letters? Expanded PVC, the material often called Foamex, goes up to 19 mm, and thin PVC comes in 38 colours. See our PVC letters. The simple rule: glossy, clear or mirror means acrylic; thick, matt and light means PVC.

Can Acrylic Letters Go Outside?

Yes for Printed and Transparent plexiglass, which are suitable indoors and outdoors. Mirror plexiglass stays indoors. For outdoor fitting, use Ultra Adhesive, which also holds on render and brick, or snap-on spacers. On a façade facing heavy exposure, aluminium is often the better choice. Some exterior signs may require planning permission, so check with your local authority before installing.

How to Fix Acrylic Letters: Adhesive, Magnetic or Spacers

Up to four fixing options are available, depending on the acrylic:

• Ultra Adhesive: double-sided foam, no drilling, indoor and outdoor, holds on render and brick. It can show through clear acrylic.
• Magnetic: for pieces of at least 20 × 20 mm, repositionable, on a steel surface such as a metal door or partition. Test with a fridge magnet first.
• Snap-on spacers: about 1.5 cm from the wall, pieces of at least 20 × 20 mm, drilling required, template included. The cleanest option for clear letters.
• No fixing: thick 8 mm letters simply stood on a shelf or mantelpiece.

A paper mounting template is included with spacers and available as an option with the other fixings.

Your Logo or Artwork in Acrylic: Files and Proof

Upload your logo as jpg, png, pdf, ppt, eps, svg or doc; no vector file is required. We cut around the silhouette, and a multicolour logo can be produced in one piece in Printed plexiglass. You receive a proof by email within 24 business hours once your order is confirmed. For large formats, SVG is recommended.

Price and Production

The price of 3D acrylic letters depends on surface area, material, thickness and fixing, with tiered pricing by size displayed live in the editor, without a quote. Every order is made and shipped within 24 working hours, and delivery options and costs are shown at checkout.
