How big can I make my vinyl letters?
Determining the size of your vinyl lettering is decided by a few factors.
Cut vinyl lettering is very popular these days and can be used for lots of different lettering projects. Before you set off about ordering custom cut vinyl lettering or decals though, you'll need to know what size to have the letters cut too, or at least have an idea of a vinyl lettering size to get pricing. Determining a size for your cut vinyl lettering can be a bit tricky, but fairly simple when you have a little bit of information to work from, such as basic idea of letter size, available space, exact character count and the exact distance that your lettering needs to be viewed from.
There are a few factors that determine the appropriate size of your vinyl lettering.
Cut vinyl lettering is widely popular in customer facing businesses, they can be used to let customers know your hours of operation, put your store name up on the front of your business, promote new sales for your products or services or even on your car windows, the sky is the limit!
Before you allow your imagination to run wild, there are a few important factors to address. The most important is the correct sizing for your lettering, or at least a good idea of the lettering size to get an estimate.
Determining a size for your cut vinyl lettering can be a bit tricky, but we are going to give you the FoxiDifference so you’re not left with lettering that can be seen from outer space or lettering that’s so small you need to get really close to read it.
Many customers make a mistake of going for lettering that is too large when in actuality they may not need that large of lettering, or better yet, not have the room to fit large vinyl lettering for the space that’s available. Though you may think you’ll need larger lettering, as you’ll see from the above chart, smaller lettering may serve your vinyl lettering needs just perfect!
Depending on your character count and available space you may need to choose a variety of different vinyl letter sizes to properly achieve the vinyl letter look you want.
For example, you are lettering a business window and need three lines of text:
- Company Name
- Phone Number
- Store Hours
You’ll probably want the company name to stand out more and choose a larger letter size and the store hours a little smaller.
You may want to have large lettering in a small space, to achieve this you will likely have to break up lines of text or squish the lettering horizontally to fit in the space.
Let’s get you on the right track.
We’ll look at getting the right sizing, available space, exact character count, and the exact distance that your lettering needs to be viewed from.
Size DOES Matter!
- Measure the entire available space for where you want to place your lettering
- Count out the total number of characters needed
- Walk outside and figure out what distance you want to view the lettering from (don’t guess this part, you may think it’s only 100 feet from the door, but in reality it’s 250 feet, remember, measure twice, cut once!)
- Pick a size based on the above graphic. Choose a letter size with a little math, don’t worry it’s easy. Most vinyl letters are as wide as they are tall. To figure out the width of your letters, multiply the height by 0.85 and you’ll have the width. Now armed with this information you can take the width and compare it to your available space to make sure it fits, don’t forget spacing between the letters and words.
When in doubt, get the FoxiAdvantage and give us a call, we’re happy to help!
