Vinyl Stickers

The words ‘WEST ROODS’ is the name of a house, here is the layout of the words, the font is called New Boston. The letters were cut in black self adhesive vinyl.

The call up height of the lettering was 120mm high which made the actual measured height 135mm. The line length came out at 792mm. Because we thought the customer actually wanted the letters to measure 120mm height we decided to supply one set at the call up height and another set at the actual measured height.

The actual total measured height of the letters is the height that is physically measured with a ruler from the very bottom of the letters to the very top of the letters.

The callup height is the height of the letters requested when the height is input on the keyboard in to the computer program we use. The call up height is usually the capital height of the letter ‘X’.

The call up height of the font New Boston is the height for the letter ‘E’ not including the drop shadow part of the letter so that the actual measured height is larger. If we call up 120mm on the computer it actually cuts the letters a total height of 135mm.

The customer was supplied one set of letters with a call up height of 120mm which had an actual measured height using a ruler of 135mm high and 792mm long. We also supplied the second set free of charge just in case which actually measured with a ruler 120mm high and 701mm long.

We recommend that when ordering vinyl letters that the customer tells us the size of the panel that the letters are going onto. If we know the size of the panel that the letters are going onto we can check that the letters will fit and make adjustments to the height where necessary. If there is a question about the size of the letters we usually send a visual of the letters to the customer to confirm before we cut.
