Frequently asked

What we are asked

How large can you go?

A single piece goes up to six metres. Beyond that, the piece is cut into sections and assembled, and the joints are worked back so they do not show — that is how a ten-metre letter is made.

Do we have to supply a vector file?

It helps, and it costs less. If you only have a JPEG or a PNG, our studio redraws it as a cutting file: that is the file preparation fee, €50 as a rule. You approve a proof before anything is cut.

Does polystyrene survive outdoors?

Yes, provided it is protected: a painted finish or a rigid facing is enough for an operation lasting several weeks. The thing to watch is not rain but wind — a large letter is light, so it flies away. Tell us where it will stand and we will size the ballast.

Is there a fire rating?

Yes, M1 is available on request. It is essential in public buildings — shopping centre, museum, exhibition hall — and is often required by the venue. Say so when ordering: the material is not the same.
