Scale with substance
Your campaign. Made physical.
A launch at King’s Cross, a retail activation at Westfield or an exhibition stand: start with the audience journey, not just the letter height. Consider the photograph, the full viewing angle and how the installation will travel between sites.
From letter depth and painted returns to concealed bases, handling and lighting, we help turn a visual brief into a practical fabrication specification. Size alone is not the brief: finish, exposure, lifespan and access matter too.

Hands-on, from the inside out
The finish you see.
The detail behind it.
Brand-matched faces & returns
Review vector artwork, letter depth, paint samples and visible edges together. Colour matching is agreed against physical samples; screens cannot approve a final finish.
A base designed for the site
Self-supporting does not mean safe on every surface. Footprint, internal support, stability and access are reviewed against audience contact, floor loading and outdoor exposure.
Built for one launch or a touring campaign
Protective coatings, replaceable graphics, detachable bases and packing arrangements can be considered for repeated use. Tell us your expected number of moves.
Workshop to destination
A clear approval.
A coordinated arrival.

Before we make it
Your project questions.
01Do you manufacture custom giant letters rather than standard party-hire sets?
These pages focus on bespoke commercial manufacture. Share your campaign identity and venue to scope a purpose-built lettering set.
02Can giant foam letters be used outdoors?
Only with an appropriate agreed build, coating and stability strategy. Duration, wind exposure, rain, floor surface and public contact all affect the specification.
03Can a lettering set be reused across several activations?
Yes, reuse can inform the design. We discuss removable bases, finish durability, protective packing and replacement graphics before manufacture.
04What affects the cost of freestanding letters?
Overall word size, depth, material, finish, quantity, support, packing and installation all matter. A tailored quote follows artwork and site review.

Survey & installation planning
Cost depends on materials, fabrication, quantity and safe access. A monetary estimate needs studio review.
