Flat-cut letters are individual letters and logos cut from a single solid sheet, typically 5–10 mm acrylic, aluminium composite or metal, and fixed flush to a wall or held off it on stand-offs.
Why choose flat-cut letters for a business in Inverness?
- Shopfitters and interior designers working on Inverness fit-outs can specify flat-cut letters to the exact RAL or Pantone colour.
- Companies hosting clients in Inverness meeting rooms can brand the space with a flat-cut logo rather than printed graphics that date.
- Small firms moving into a new Inverness unit can start with flat-cut letters at reception, adding exterior signs once the lease is settled.
What flat-cut letters cost in Inverness
Guide prices start from £18 and go up to £65 per letter, exclusive of VAT. The breakdown below shows where different sizes and options sit. Nothing is final until we have measured up or checked your artwork and sent a written quote.
| Item | Guide, ex VAT | Inc. VAT (20%) |
|---|---|---|

Material and thickness drive most of the difference: acrylic and aluminium composite sit at the lower end, solid metal and mirror finishes at the top. Letter count and height, stand-offs, colour matching, the wall surface and access follow, and every price is confirmed after an artwork check and survey.

Do you need permission for a sign in Inverness?
Scotland runs its own advertisement rules, set out in the 1984 Control of Advertisements (Scotland) Regulations as amended. An unlit sign on your own premises may not need an application, but that depends on its size, its position and whether the building is listed or sits in a conservation area. If consent is needed, the council receives the application, typically submitted online through eDevelopment.scot. On a listed building, listed building consent usually applies too, and fixings into mortar joints are generally preferred. We check the position with you before anything is ordered, and we can draw up and submit the paperwork if you would like us to.
