    Rich, I’m sure Accent use to do something like that as well but I don’t have a number for them anymore.

    Hi guys thanks for all the replies. I have a slight problem in that i need part of the text as a non standard type face i.e its been made up from 2 fonts and messed about with, and i would like metal letters but plastic would do i wondered if this can still be made because the plastics ones are made from a mould
    any help thanks rich

    Rich I believe signtrade will make up bespoke moulds but that affects the price of course.

    Non standard letters in acrylic will work out pretty expensive, the tooling/mould cost alone will probably be far more than the actual letters. If you call SignTrade in Nottingham (no relation to the London based company of the same name – 0115 968 1000) they’ll be able to give you a good trade price for built up metal letters.

    Good luck 😀
