Cut-Out Letters Johannesburg
Create clean, professional business branding with custom cut-out letters precision-made from aluminium, Perspex, ACM, wood and PVC foamboard.
Also known as flat-cut letters, this signage style provides a sleek, low-profile alternative to fabricated 3D lettering while still delivering strong visual impact indoors and outdoors.
What Are Cut-Out Letters?
Cut-out letters are individually cut from a solid sheet of material rather than being fabricated with hollow sides.
This produces crisp, accurately shaped lettering with a much slimmer profile than a fabricated 3D sign. Letters, numbers, logos and detailed brand shapes can all be precision-cut to reproduce your corporate identity.
The finished lettering can then be mounted directly onto a surface, spaced away from the wall for a floating effect, or combined with LED backlighting to create an illuminated halo.
Flat-cut lettering is an excellent option when you want professional dimensional branding without the additional depth and fabrication required for full 3D letters.

Cut-Out Letter Signage Questions
Answers to common questions about flat-cut letters, materials, mounting and illuminated options.
What are cut-out letters?
Cut-out letters, also called flat-cut letters, are individual letters or logo shapes cut from a solid sheet of material. Unlike fabricated 3D letters, they do not have hollow built-up sides.
What is the difference between cut-out letters and 3D fabricated letters?
Cut-out letters are precision-cut from flat sheet material, giving them a slimmer profile. Fabricated 3D letters are constructed with additional depth and side walls to create a larger dimensional structure.
What materials can cut-out letters be made from?
M-Tech can produce cut-out lettering from aluminium, Perspex or acrylic, ACM or Dibond, wood and PVC foamboard. The best material depends on the location, finish, application and budget.
Can flat-cut letters be installed outdoors?
Yes. Suitable materials such as aluminium, Perspex and ACM can be used for exterior commercial signage when the sign and mounting method are designed for the intended location.
What are pin-mounted letters?
Pin-mounted letters are positioned slightly away from the wall using stand-off fixings. The gap creates natural shadows behind the lettering and gives a flat-cut sign greater visual depth.
Can cut-out letters have LED lighting?
Yes. LEDs can be positioned behind suitable pin-mounted cut-out letters to project light onto the backing surface, creating a halo-lit or backlit effect.
Can M-Tech cut our company logo as well as letters?
Yes. Cut-out signage can include individual letters, numbers, corporate logos and custom shapes, subject to the design and suitability of the selected material.
