Vinyl Cut Letters Ireland: Shop Window Sizes 10–300 cm & Buying Guide
Shop window lettering is often the first thing a customer reads from the pavement — the name, the hours, a phone number. This guide explains how to buy vinyl cut letters in Ireland: which size fits a door strip versus a full frontage, which Oracal film to pick, how cuts and copies affect the quote, and what delivery from Ashbourne includes. Prices below are ex VAT from the live configurator — from €44.72 for a 10 × 10 cm white gloss letter with one cut, with Ireland delivery included.
What you get: kiss-cut vinyl on application tape
Vinyl cut letters are unprinted coloured vinyl. The design is cut from one solid film — white, black, a brand colour, gold metallic or frosted — then covered with application tape so the words stay lined up as one sheet. You clean the glass, tape the sheet level, peel the backing, rub the letters on with a plastic card, then peel the tape away. There is no bag of loose characters to line up by hand.
That is different from a printed vinyl sticker, which carries full-colour artwork, and from a large printed PVC vinyl banner. Use cut letters when the job is one colour on glass: a shop name, opening hours or a short contact line for Dublin, Cork or Galway premises.
Who buys vinyl cut letters in Ireland?
Most orders come from independent shops that want lettering they can fit themselves — without waiting for a sign-writer visit — and from offices that need frosted privacy on glass partitions.
| Buyer | Typical use |
|---|---|
| Cafés, salons & barbers | Gold or white shop name readable from the street |
| Retail & boutiques | Opening hours, phone number and website on the door |
| Offices & clinics | Frosted privacy bands and reception lettering on glass |
| Hospitality & venues | One-colour brand marks on internal glass partitions |
Sizes from 10 × 10 cm to 300 × 120 cm
Width runs from 10 to 300 cm; height from 10 to 120 cm. You can set either side to the millimetre, or start from the common presets on the product page.
| Size | Best for |
|---|---|
| 10 × 10 cm | Single letter, logo mark or small door numeral |
| 10 × 20 cm / 20 × 60 cm | Opening hours strip or short phone/web line on the door |
| 60 × 80 cm | Compact shop name readable from the pavement |
| 100 × 100 cm | Larger fascia-style name on a wide window bay |
| Up to 300 × 120 cm | Long shop name across a full Dublin or Cork frontage |
A tall word should use the width for the long side, because height stops at 120 cm. A 20 × 60 cm white piece with four cuts is a typical door strip — about €46.92 ex VAT with Ireland delivery included. Measure the glass clear of frames and hinges before you quote on the vinyl cut letters Ireland page.
Which vinyl: white, colour, gold or frosted?
| Film group | When to choose it |
|---|---|
| White or black | Gloss or matt Oracal 751 — same price. Start here for names and hours. |
| Bright colours | Red, orange, yellows, greens, blues, pink, ice grey — all the same colour price. |
| Metallic | Gold, silver or anthracite metallic — gold-letter look without real gold leaf. |
| Frosted film | Frosted (etched look) or denser frosted privacy for tills and treatment rooms. |
Coloured films are Oracal 751. White and black (gloss or matt) share one price band; bright colours another; gold, silver and anthracite metallic another. Frosted and frosted privacy sit lower than the coloured films. The vinyl is one colour and is not printed — pick the film that matches the shop brand, not a CMYK proof.
Most Irish shops put letters on the inside of the glass so rain stays off the vinyl. The wording still has to read correctly from the street, so ask for a mirror cut when you send the text.
Cuts, copies, MOQ and from-prices
Count every separate outline as a cut. A solid letter such as I or L is one cut. Letters with a hole — O, A, B, P, R — and digits such as 0, 4, 6, 8 and 9 need an extra cut for each hole. The maximum is 50 cuts on one piece. Copies run from 1 to 20; extra copies of the same piece share one Ireland delivery.
- From €44.72 ex VAT — 10 × 10 cm white gloss, one cut, one copy, Ireland delivery included
- About €46.92 ex VAT — 20 × 60 cm white, four cuts, one copy (typical hours strip)
- Minimum order: 1 piece · up to 20 copies per quote
- Delivery: one Ireland shipment of €16.95 included in every quoted line total
Larger sizes, metallic film, more cuts and extra copies raise the line total. Use the live configurator on the product page for your exact width, height, film and quantity — do not invent catalogue rates from this guide.
