sandwiched together to give it a unique appearance or special finish to increase
thickness with an inexpensive material. For example, the COSTA IMC dimensional
lettering is created with a brushed aluminum face and backed by black foam for
additional depth and to reduce cost compared to the solid metal.

thicknesses and finishes to create an even more intriguing and contrasting look.The

the face of buildings and on monument signs for a bold and eye-catching effect.
