What are cardboard numbers? What are they used for?

 

As the name suggests, these are large numbers made out of cardboard.

And they're not just for looks - giant letters and numbers can be used for a variety of purposes.

For example, you could have them made in a custom shape and use them as props in a play or musical, as decorations for a party or wedding, or as part of a marketing campaign.

Giant letters and numbers can also be used to add intrigue and excitement to an event. They are often used as part of a photo booth backdrop.

In short, large numbers are a versatile and fun way to add something extra to your event!

At CollageandWood.com, we have created freestanding wooden numbers that we can modify to any letter height.

They are more durable than cardboard lettering.

If you need your letters smaller, we can do that, and we can make any lowercase or uppercase letter up to 3.5 feet tall!

HOW DO YOU MAKE OVERSIZED CARDBOARD NUMBERS AND LETTERS?

 

If you're feeling crafty, you could try making your own large numbers.

All you need is some cardboard, scissors, double sided mounting tape, and paint (if desired). Once you have your materials, follow these simple steps:

• Trace out your giant cardboard letters or numbers onto the cardboard.
• Cut out large numbers from the cardboard. Make sure they are big enough to be seen from a distance!
• Tape the numbers together with the double sided mounting tape.
• Decorate them however you like! You could paint them, add glitter, or anything else you can think of.

Making oversized cardboard numbers is a great way to add a personal touch to your event. Plus, it's a fun activity that you can do with friends or family.

However, cardboard letters are flimsy and do not stand on their own.

In contrast, giant wooden numbers from Collage and Wood come with custom wooden stands.

At Collage and Wood, we do lettering differently.

Many events need letters to stand indoors, other products are needed to stand securely outside in the grass.

Our versatility and ability to customize for your event allows you to create the perfect letters, aligned with your vision! You can choose font name and size, with an option for indoor and outdoor stands.

If you don't have the time or inclination to make your own large numbers, don't worry - we've got you covered!

TIPS FOR MAKING YOUR LARGE CARDBOARD NUMBER DISPLAY LOOK GREAT

If you're using large numbers as part of a display, there are a few things you can do to make sure it looks its best.

First, consider the total letter count for placement of your numbers. You'll want to make sure they are visible and easy to read from a distance.

You'll also want to make sure they are evenly spaced out and in a straight line. This will help create a clean and polished look.

Finally, don't be afraid to get creative with your display! You could add lights, streamers, different dimensions or anything else you can think of to make it really stand out.
