Short answer: For most office walls in Noida and Delhi NCR, 3D acrylic letters of 4 to 12 inches height in 5mm or 8mm cast acrylic work well. Use 12mm or built-up letters for a bold reception logo. Pick a finish (colour, clear or mirror) and lighting (non-lit, front-lit or halo) to match your interior and budget.
Your office wall is the first thing a client sees when they walk in. A good set of 3D acrylic letters makes even a small office in Sector 63 or Connaught Place look settled and professional. But the choice of size, thickness and finish can be confusing. This guide breaks it down in simple steps.
What are 3D acrylic letters?
They are letters and logos cut from acrylic sheet with a laser or CNC router, then fixed on a wall so they stand out from the surface. Our acrylic letters come in two main styles. Flat-cut letters sit close to the wall and look simple and clean. 3D built-up letters stand away from the wall and create stronger shadows and depth.
You can also add your logo, initials, numbers or icons in the same material, so the whole wall looks like one set.
What letter height should you choose for an office wall?
Start with where people will read it from. A common sign-industry rule of thumb is 1 inch of letter height for about 10 feet of viewing distance. Inside an office, people read from much closer, so you can size for looks as much as reading.
- Cabin doors and small walls: 2 to 4 inch letters are usually enough.
- Reception wall behind the front desk: 6 to 12 inch letters for the name, with the logo slightly larger.
- Lobby or large feature wall seen from the entrance: 12 to 24 inch letters or more.
We make letters from about 2 inches to 24 inches and above, depending on the design. A simple tip: tape a paper print-out of your name to the wall and look at it from the door before you finalise the size.
Which acrylic thickness is right: 3mm, 5mm, 8mm or 12mm?
We cut letters from cast acrylic in 3mm, 5mm, 8mm and 12mm. Thicker sheets look more solid and cast a deeper shadow, but they are heavier and cost more.
| Thickness | Look on the wall | Best letter size | Good for |
|---|---|---|---|
| 3mm | Light, flat, subtle | Small (2 to 4 inch) | Cabin names, door signs, glass |
| 5mm | Clean with a slight edge | Small to medium | Office walls, meeting rooms |
| 8mm | Solid with a visible edge | Medium (4 to 12 inch) | Reception name walls |
| 12mm | Bold, premium, deep shadow | Medium to large | Logos, lobby feature walls |
If you want even more depth, 3D built-up letters can stand about 0.5 to 3 inches from the wall. This depth also leaves room for LED lighting inside.
Which finish and lighting look best in an office?
Finish decides the mood of the wall. We offer all standard colours, clear acrylic and mirror acrylic.
- Colour acrylic: Matches your brand colours. Black or white on a contrasting wall is the safest choice.
- Clear acrylic: Looks light and modern, good on glass partitions or textured walls.
- Mirror acrylic: Gold, silver or similar mirror finishes look premium in lobbies and showrooms.
Lighting is the second choice:
- Non-lit: Lowest cost, and works well in a bright reception.
- Front-lit: The face of the letter glows. Easy to read in low light.
- Halo-backlit: LED strips inside 3D letters throw a soft glow on the wall behind. This is the most premium look for a reception.
How are acrylic letters fixed on the wall?
The fixing depends on the size and weight of the letters. Smaller letters under about 6 inches are often fixed with strong double-sided foam tape. Larger or heavier letters use stud mounting, where threaded rods go into the wall. Studs also give the "floating" look.
We can fix letters on painted walls, glass, ACP, metal, concrete, brick, wooden panels and other cladding. Tell us the wall surface early, because it changes the fixing method.
What decides the cost of 3D acrylic letters?
Acrylic letters are usually priced per letter, and logos are priced by size. The main things that change the price are:
- Letter height
- Acrylic thickness and depth
- Finish (colour, clear, mirror)
- Lighting (non-lit, front-lit or halo)
- Number of letters and how detailed the logo is
- Wall surface, height and access for installation
