Letter height guide showing how vinyl lettering is measured

Arched, Wave and Bulge Effects

For arched, wave and bulge-top text, letter height is measured the same way as standard lettering. For convex and concave effects, the height is based on the overall panel height, which may affect the estimated length — please contact us if you need a definitive measurement.

Different fonts give different character widths, so any length shown is a guide only. Contact us if you have exact or specific requirements.
