OUR CARDBOARD PROJECTS

Discover our projects for your giant cardboard logos and letters

An eco-friendly and cost-effective solution

Making XXL letters and logos in cardboard is an ecological and affordable option. Thanks to honeycomb cardboard, it is possible to create giant structures that are lightweight, quick to produce and 100% recyclable. This material therefore perfectly meets the needs of one-off events and temporary installations.

Lightness and practicality

Cardboard is easy to transport and quick to set up, making it an ideal choice for trade shows, festivals or one-off communication campaigns. What’s more, its flexible production makes it possible to create almost any shape in record time.

Customisation and creativity

In terms of aesthetics, cardboard can be left raw with a kraft look, or customised with digital printing, a solid colour or a gradient. Thanks to these options, it delivers an original, striking result while staying within a reduced budget.

Advantages / disadvantages of giant honeycomb cardboard logos and letters:

✅ Key strengths

  • Eco-friendly & recyclable: an eco-responsible solution, often made from honeycomb or kraft cardboard, easily recyclable.

  • Fast manufacturing: quick cutting and assembly, suited to tight event deadlines.

  • Reduced cost: an affordable budget compared with materials such as aluminium, resin or wood.

  • Lightweight & easy to transport: simple handling, economical transport, ideal for touring events.

  • Endless customisation: digital printing, wrapping, painting or kraft / colour / gradient / photo finishes.

  • Suited to one-off events: perfect for trade shows, festivals, birthdays, weddings, temporary photo walls.

  • Unlimited format: allows very large structures to be made without major weight constraints.

⚠️ Points to watch

  • Limited durability: sensitive to humidity, impacts and wear over time, so outdoor or long-term use is not recommended.

  • Lower mechanical resistance: does not withstand strong stresses (pressure, wind, repeated handling).

  • More “temporary” look: despite the possible finishes, it is still perceived as a less premium material than aluminium, wood or resin.

  • Maintenance almost impossible: once damaged (folded, wet, torn), it is difficult to repair.

  • Less safe outdoors: cardboard is not suited to permanent installations exposed to the weather.

FAQ – 3D XXL cardboard letters and logos

❓ What is the cardboard used for giant letters?

The cardboard used to make 3D XXL letters and logos is a technical cardboard (honeycomb or reinforced cardboard), designed to provide good structural strength while remaining very light. It is an ideal solution for creative, event and temporary projects.

❓ What uses are cardboard letters recommended for?

Giant cardboard letters are perfectly suited to:

  • one-off events,

  • trade shows,

  • exhibition stands,

  • stage sets,

  • indoor communication operations.

They allow a strong visual staging with a reduced ecological impact.

❓ Can cardboard letters be used outdoors?

Cardboard is mainly intended for indoor use. Outdoor use is possible only very occasionally and under certain conditions (dry weather, limited duration). For long-lasting outdoor installations, other materials such as resin or aluminium should be preferred.

❓ What finishes are possible on cardboard letters?

Cardboard letters and shapes can receive different finishes:

  • raw cardboard for a natural, authentic look,

  • paint in one or several colours,

  • paper or vinyl wrapping,

  • printed visuals, logos or messages.

These finishes allow the result to be adapted to a brand universe or a specific event.

❓ Can a logo or message be printed on cardboard letters?

Yes. Cardboard letters can be printed or wrapped with visuals, text or logos. This solution is ideal for event communication with a strong visual impact at a controlled cost.

❓ Are cardboard letters sturdy?

Cardboard offers sufficient resistance for event and decorative use. However, it is more sensitive to humidity and impacts than other materials. It is therefore suited to temporary, supervised and mainly indoor installations.

❓ What sizes can be made in cardboard?

Cardboard allows the manufacture of large XXL letters and shapes. Thanks to its lightness, impressive volumes can be created while making transport and installation easier.

❓ Are cardboard letters easy to install?

Yes. Their very low weight allows quick and simple installation, often without specific tools. They are particularly popular for express set-ups at events.

❓ Is cardboard a cost-effective solution?

Yes. Cardboard is one of the most cost-effective solutions for making 3D XXL letters. It maximises the visibility of a message while respecting tight budget constraints.

❓ Are cardboard letters ecological?

Yes. Cardboard is a recyclable material with a low environmental impact, which makes it a very popular solution for responsible events and eco-friendly approaches.

❓ Do you offer bespoke cardboard letters?

Yes. All our 3D XXL cardboard letters, logos and shapes are entirely made to measure: typography, dimensions, finishes and installation constraints are adapted to each project.

❓ Are the cardboard letters made in France?

Yes. The cardboard solutions offered by Au Pied de la Lettre are designed and manufactured in our workshops in France, with a focus on quality, responsiveness and short supply chains.
