Shop Window Lettering FAQs
What is reverse-cut shop window lettering?
It is designed for application inside the glass with the letters read correctly from outside.
Can I mix large and small lines?
Yes. Create each line as a separate design to control the dimensions independently.
Can I use this for required safety markings?
Check any rules for manifestation, accessibility and mandatory safety signage before relying on decorative lettering.
Can I choose the size?
Yes. Set the required width or height in millimetres in the lettering maker and review the proportions in the preview.
Does the background colour get printed?
No. The background option only simulates the surface behind your lettering.
