XXL cardboard logos and letters: the eco-friendly and economical solution for your events
A company logo in large format for a trade show. A word in giant letters for a conference stage. An XXL number to celebrate an anniversary. These projects all have one thing in common: they were all made from honeycomb cardboard, quickly, in our Fleigneux workshops. Without compromising on visual impact. Without blowing the budget.
Cardboard is the event material par excellence. And at Au Pied de la Lettre, we master it from A to Z.
A material like no other
Honeycomb cardboard has nothing to do with a packaging box. It is a technical material, structured, capable of forming rigid and stable XXL volumes. Lightweight, fast to cut, easy to finish — it meets constraints that other materials simply cannot satisfy.
Tight budget. Short deadline. Complicated transport. A one-off, non-renewable event. In these situations, cardboard is often the best answer.
Fast to manufacture, easy to transport
This is one of cardboard’s most practical advantages: fast production. Digital cutting, workshop assembly, finishing — lead times are significantly shorter than with aluminium, resin or wood. For an event decided at short notice, this is decisive.
And once manufactured, the structure is lightweight. Very lightweight. It is transported without a dedicated lorry, installed without lifting equipment, moved from one room to another effortlessly. For touring events or multi-city trade shows, this is a considerable advantage.
Total personalisation, professional result
Raw cardboard is one option. But in the vast majority of projects, the surface receives a digital printed finish — colours, gradients, logos, photos, typographies — directly onto the faces of the structure.
The result is immediate. The structure carries the brand’s visual identity from the very first glance. At Alim’Alliance, the burgundy purple and pink of the logo are reproduced identically. At Waat, the intense blue of the brand guidelines is perfectly rendered. No compromise on graphic accuracy.
Eco-friendly and recyclable
This is an argument that matters more and more. Cardboard is a 100% recyclable material, from controlled supply chains, with a low carbon footprint. A cardboard structure, once the event is over, does not end up in the skip — it goes back into the recycling chain.
For event organisers committed to a CSR approach, it is a natural choice. Visually spectacular, responsible at end of life.
For which projects?
Cardboard is the ideal solution for:
- Trade shows and professional congresses — logos, brand names, stage décor
- Company anniversaries — XXL numbers, commemorative logotypes
- Festivals and cultural events — lightweight structures, express assembly
- Temporary photocalls and selfie spots — maximum visual impact, controlled budget
- Conferences and summits — large format brand identity on stage
