CHANGEABLE LETTERS AND ACCESSORIES





www.wagnerzip.com



Wagner Zip-Change, Inc. has been supplying the sign industry with changeable letters since 1930.  Their Zip-Change®  letters consist of thick rectangular clear acrylic panels with the letters screen-printed on them.  The letters are available in a variety of sizes and colors.
The widths of the letters vary to provide proper spacing when placed adjacently.  Zip-Change letters can easily be changed from the ground with Wagner's Zip-Changer.  We stock the Wagner changeable letter products listed below.  Other products, such as dimensional (slotted) letters, metal change boards and custom items can be special ordered.

Notes:

  • The height of the printed letter, not the panel height, determines letter size.  Panel height is 1" larger on 4" and 6" letters; 2" larger on most other sizes.  On 8" Econo- Commercial 300 packs, the letters are 8" on a 9" panel
  • Other sizes, colors and styles (half-tone) can be special ordered.
  • Stocked fonts are standard (letters only).  The Wagner catalog has a breakdown of letter and numeral quantities provided with each standard and/or commercial font.
