HUGE (very large) Letters in foam



Big foam letters can make a wonderful impression during a special event, in decorating a retail area, or for super cool photo shoots. The letters are custom cut in high density polystyrene letters. These very large foam letters are relatively lightweight and have moisture and mildew resistant properties, even when unpainted.
The VLL's (Very Large Letters) are perfect for exhibits, events, trade shows, stage, weddings, anniversaries, gatherings and many other uses, and can be finished further with a painted color, a flattened bottom for standing and special thicknesses up to 30" thick.

You may finish the letters yourself with an acrylic paint. Some solvents found in spray paint and hard-coated enamel paints will dissolve the foam material. You may also order the large foam letters pre-painted. If you order painted letters, we will "face" the letter with a thin piece of MDF wood for a smoother finish. The sides will still have the typical foam "orange peel" marks. Painted letters have an unpainted back unless you upgrade to the standing flat bottom option.

Perfect for outdoor use for an event, as a showcase and more. We also make durable letters for permanent installations and 3D Dimensional Carved Signs.
 For stage, fashion and promotions, sales and events, these cost-effective VLL's (Very Large Letters) are perfect and reasonably priced.

 Need smaller letters from 1" to 6"?
We make them too. Use the link near the bottom of the page.
With the Standing Flat Bottom option, each letter will have a flat bottom in order to allow them to stand. This may reduce your letter height slightly depending on the font selected. Some letters, such as J, P and F, may need additional support to stand. This can be done by applying double sided mounting tape to the bottom of the letter, attaching it to a base, leaning it on an adjacent letter, creating a custom base for the letter or placing it up against a wall.
Thicker letters will have an easier time standing. For help making your selection contact us.





How big is a letter?

Letter sizing is somewhat complicated. In many fonts, different letters have different heights, especially lowercase letters in relation to their capitals.
We size everything proportionally to an uppercase “A”. 
Because of this, some letters may be shorter or taller than the height you select.

Note that we measure the capital "A" height. Some capitals and lowercase letters have larger profiles.
The letters above are both sized to 4 inches. Flat-bottom options change this somewhat. *Font shown is Clarendon Bold.



For a price quote on your project, we are here to help.
Simply tell us the following information:
  • Size of letters in inches
  • Font/typestyle
  • Thickness of letters in inches
  • Exact wording in ALL CAPITALS or Upper and lowercase
  • Any options, like flat bottom, paint color or perhaps "lettering must fit on a 30 foot stage".

You can also send your art or layout here. Be sure ti include your contact information.

Have fun with all the possibilities!
