Making metal letters that look great and last a long time is always our goal at Advantage Signs & Graphics. Luckily, here are several paths we can take when deciding how to manufacture your custom metal letters. There are 2 common ways of making metal letters: Cast metal letters and laser cut metal letters. Each of these techniques is great in its own way, but sometimes the choice is simple based on what you are needing.

Cast Metal Letters are made through a process of melting down materials and then pouring them into a sand or clay mold. Cast metal is a great option for creating your custom metal letters and is a great way to add depth to your dimensional lettering without paying for solid metal. Cast Metal Letters typically are cast at 1/2” - 1.5” thick depending on the height of the letters. Hand finished cast metal letters really add class to any business or organization's exterior walls. You can choose to have them painted with your specified sheen, or choose a metal finish such as polished, patina, or anodized. Cast metal letters give your signage a classic look with a stylish amount of depth and durability. Casting metal also produces very little waste, as most excess material can be reused in another project.

Flat cut metal letters are a versatile solution if you need detail and custom shapes. Flat cut metal letters give off a thinner, more modern look, while still being durable enough to withstand outdoor environments. We are able to make precise cuts from our customer supplied art. This can be lettering, a logo, or custom shapes. We use CNC routers and water jets to achieve these detailed cuts and will finish your letters with paint, or a metal finish of your choice. Mounting is a breeze with our various mounting hardware and patterns to go along with them.

Common uses for metal letters of any kind

Company / Organization Logo

Address Numbers

Commercial Building Lettering

Your business or organization is not complete without a custom logo inside or outside of your building. Not only is it possible to cut and cast metal letters and numbers, but custom shapes and logos are an option as well. The benefit of working with clay or sand molds when casting is that those molds can be shaped into almost any shape you can dream of. Flat cut metal logos are a stylish and modern way of displaying your company’s logo and a higher amount of detail can be put into flat cut metal letters.

Address numbers are a great way to class up your home, business, or office. With several different metals and finishes to choose from, there is definitely a perfect combination of customization options for your metal address numbers & letters.

If you are in a commercial building and are limited to a certain style of lettering, then we can match most letters to those specifications. If you need metal letters for navigation or displaying information, cast and flat cut metal letters are a great option for that. We can do large metal letters for exterior walls of businesses, or we can do smaller, more manageable letters for custom metal messaging of any kind.
