Blade Sign with 3D Letter Surface

Material & Frame Build:Heavy-duty, anti-corrosive extruded aluminum or precision-welded 304 stainless steel frame chassis. Features a rugged internal steel sub-frame coupled to a high-tensile structural projecting mounting bracket designed to handle severe wind loads.
Surface Panels:Dual heavy-duty, high-impact panels (available in premium cast acrylic, polycarbonate, or routing aluminum block-out composites) forming a rigid, weatherproof double-sided profile.
3D Letter Surface:Fully customized with dimensional, laser-cut acrylic, metal, or push-through letters structurally fused to the outer faces, projecting outward from the main light box body to add depth.
Illumination Styles:Available in three lighting options based on your design preferences:
Fully Translucent Backlit Face:The entire panel glows, illuminating the 3D surface silhouettes.
Opaque Block-out Face with Front-Lit Letters:The main panel remains dark, forcing 100% of the light output forward through the 3D acrylic letters.
Push-Through Halo Edge-Lit:Light escapes exclusively through the thick acrylic side walls of the 3D characters for a premium floating edge look.
LED Color Temperatures:Powered by commercial-grade, low-voltage IP67 waterproof LED modules available in standard 3,000K (Warm White), 6,500K (Natural White), and 10,000K (Cool White). Custom multi-color RGB color-changing matrices are available at an extra cost.
Finishes & Customization:100% tailored to match your specific vector typography layout, corporate branding guidelines, and dimensional shapes. Frame finishes include brushed metal, anodized treatments, or high-durability automotive-grade 2pac powder coating.
Power Supply:High-reliability 12V DC – 240V AC Meanwell Transformer equipped with international electrical safety certifications matched to your destination country: SAA and C-Tick for Australia/New Zealand, UL/cUL for North America, and CE/RoHS for Europe.
Wiring & Installation:Standard 1.5m heavy-duty internal wiring harness cleanly exiting through the core of the structural mounting bracket arm. Each custom package includes a 1:1 full-scale installation template and structural anchoring blueprints.
Weather Resistance:Built to rigorous commercial architectural facade standards. Features UV-stabilized face panels to prevent sun yellowing, along with integrated micro-drainage channels at the lowest points of the chassis to prevent condensation or water pooling.

Target Applications & Use Cases

Highly recommended for high-street retail storefronts, shopping center under-awning walkways, boutique hospitality venues, cafes, bars, hotels, corner buildings, and urban commercial blocks where pedestrian traffic approaches from a perpendicular angle.

A standard projecting light box features a completely flat acrylic face with printed graphics, which can look flat and washed out under bright direct sunlight or ambient streetlights. By fusing custom-cut 3D Letters onto the Surface, the sign benefits from physical depth and structural shadows. Pedestrians walking down the pavement can immediately identify the text contours from sharp side angles, drastically increasing your storefront readability and giving your business a more premium, high-value architectural presence.

Bracket arms are custom-engineered based on your storefront clearance, council codes, and local wind load requirements. Our blade signs feature an internal structural steel cage that runs through the sign body and locks directly into the external thick-gauge mounting bracket. When anchored into solid masonry, brick, or structural steel columns using commercial engineering fixings (like Dynabolts or chemical anchors), the entire assembly handles high-velocity wind loads and heavy vibrations safely.

Clean aesthetics and safety are handled by routing the wiring internally. The low-voltage 12V DC electrical harness runs completely out of sight inside the hollow core of the heavy-duty metal projecting arm bracket. This wire passes directly through the center of the mounting baseplate and straight into a small hole drilled through your external wall or fascia. The wire feeds behind the internal partition walls to connect to your central, enclosed Meanwell transformer, ensuring zero cords or connections are exposed to rain or customer view.

Yes, absolutely. This is our popular Opaque Block-out configuration. We fabricate the face panels using premium aluminium composite sheets or opaque block-out acrylic films, leaving precise laser-cut stencil openings where your graphics sit. We then mount thick, translucent acrylic letters into or over those openings. When the internal LEDs light up, the background face remains dark and solid, forcing 100% of the light output directly through the 3D letters for an incredibly crisp, premium, and glare-free night-time display.

To deliver a precise, guaranteed custom proposal within 12 working hours, please provide our engineering team with:

Your vector logo design or typography layout file (.AI, .EPS, or editable .PDF format) with your desired overall dimensions and letter height specified.
Your choice of face panel illumination style (Fully illuminated face vs. Opaque face with illuminated 3D letters).
The specific color finish required for the outer frame housing and bracket arm (e.g., Anodized Silver, Matte Black, or a specific 2pac Pantone color match).
The structural wall substrate properties (e.g., concrete block, brickwork, timber frame, or glass paneling) along with your location details to ensure electrical compliance matching.
