Established over twenty years ago, Hampshire-based company Letters and Logos provides signage for a wide range of customers across the UK, from large public sector bodies such as NHS trusts, to small, independent local businesses. Growth in the company's customer base, driven by owners and directors Peter and Romy Halliwell, brought the challenges of cutting sheet materials to a sharp focus a couple of years ago - challenges that were solved by a Koolkut KK116 from Sagetech.

Cutting strategies
In the late eighties and early nineties, the majority of the company's work was on Foamex with cut vinyl, and later using printed graphics. The Foamex was cut by hand, with a knife. Finding the combination of printed graphics and Foamex not ideal, Letters and Logos increasingly moved to aluminium composite materials such as Dibond, cutting these with a foam board cutter. However, cutting accuracy proved to be a problem with this approach.
