Product Overview
Individual house numbers and letters, printed to order in Perth from ASA — the plastic specified for outdoor parts like automotive trim and garden furniture. Four base heights from 50 to 200 mm, three fonts, and a flat back that sticks on with no drilling and no screws.
Every character is a solid piece with no fixing holes, and you order one character at a time, so any address works: a single digit, a unit letter to match numbers you already have, or a full street number. The full set is available — A–Z, a–z, 0–9 and common punctuation — in every font and every size, which is not something you can say of a rack at the hardware store.
How to order an address
Type your text in the box, then set the quantity to the number of characters. Spaces are free and don't count — "27 A" is three characters, not four. There's a single text field, so everything you type is made in the same font, size and colour; if you want a second size or a second colour, add it to the cart separately. It all ships together.
How it compares
The realistic alternative is a rack of numerals at the hardware store. Here is the honest comparison.
| These — 3D printed ASA | Stainless steel numerals | Brass numerals | Acrylic numerals | Vinyl or stencil | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Characters available | ✓ A–Z, a–z, 0–9 and punctuation | ✗ Numbers, plus A and B — uppercase only | ✗ Numbers, plus A and B | ✗ Numbers, plus A and B | ✓ Full alphabet |
| Base heights | ✓ 50, 100, 150, 200 mm | Around 50–175 mm | ✗ Small sizes only | Around 50–175 mm | ✓ Any |
| Fonts | ✓ Three | One per range | One | One or two | ✓ Wide |
| Colours | ✓ Several | Metal finish only | Brass finish only | Usually black or white | ✓ Wide |
| How the colour is held | ✓ Solid through the part | ✓ It's the metal | ✓ It's the metal | ✓ Solid through the sheet | ✗ A surface film |
| Fixing | ✓ Stick on, flat back | Adhesive or screws | Usually screws or studs | Adhesive or screws | ✓ Adhesive |
| Goes on brick, render or limestone | ✓ Yes | ✓ Yes | ✓ Yes | ✓ Yes | ✗ No — needs a smooth wall |
| Holes in your wall | ✓ None | Sometimes | ✗ Usually | Sometimes | ✓ None |
| The number itself corrodes | ✓ No — it's plastic | ✗ Yes — low grades, near the coast | Doesn't rust, but patinates | ✓ No | ✓ No |
| Stains the wall over time | ✓ No | ✗ Tea staining near the coast, and rust from plated screws | ✗ Patina and run-off, plus rust from plated screws | Only if screw-fixed | ✓ No |
| Takes a knock | ✓ Yes — tough, not rigid | ✓ Yes | ✓ Yes | ✗ No — brittle, chips and cracks | ✗ Tears |
| Add a matching character later | ✓ Any time, same model | If the range is still stocked | If still stocked | If still stocked | Re-cut |
| Typical failure | Stuck up with the wrong adhesive | Rust streaks below the fixings | Patina you didn't choose | Cracked by a knock | Lifts at a corner |
Two problems with metal numbers in Australia
Stainless doesn't stay clean near the coast. The Australian Stainless Steel Development Association describes brown "tea staining" on the lower grades — 304 and 430 — most commonly within about 5 km of the surf, and sometimes 20 km or more inland, and says those grades may "even suffer more severe corrosion." That's a number with real rust on it, not just a tinge. The grade is almost never on the packet, and the one that holds up costs more than a hardware-store numeral usually does.
Then there are the fixings. The number itself might be stainless or brass; the screws and spacers in the packet often aren't, and once their plating goes the rust runs down your wall from each one. These stick on, so there's nothing to streak.
Where the shelf wins: cast metal will outlast this and looks the part on the right house, and if you want something that outlives the building, buy it. What we're offering instead is the right size, in a font and colour that suit your frontage, for any character, without drilling and without waiting weeks.
Vinyl and acrylic
Vinyl needs a smooth wall, which most Australian house fronts aren't. It bonds to glass, colorbond or smooth painted render, but on face brick, limestone or unsealed render there isn't enough flat contact and it lifts at a corner. The colour is a film on top, too, with nothing underneath it.
Acrylic is better outdoors than its reputation, and worth being straight about — it holds colour in direct sun for years. Its weakness is that it's brittle: hardware-store acrylic numbers are thin sheet, and thin acrylic chips and cracks when a ladder or a whipper snipper catches it. ASA is tough rather than rigid.
Hardware-store ranges vary between stores and change without notice.
Why ASA, not the usual 3D printing plastic
Almost everything sold as a 3D printed ornament is made from PLA — cheap and easy to print, and the wrong plastic for a wall in Australian sun. It isn't made to handle UV, and it goes soft at a lower temperature than the alternatives.
ASA is the plastic industry uses when the part has to live outdoors — exterior car trim, cladding, garden furniture. It was developed to fix the weakness that makes other plastics fail outside. It costs more than PLA, prints slower and is fussier to get right, and outside that's the whole point.
We don't claim how long any particular character will last on your wall — see the question below.
Which size do I need?
The honest answer is that it depends on how far the number sits from where someone reads it. As a starting point:
| Where it goes | Read from | Size |
|---|---|---|
| Front door, apartment door, letterbox | 1–3 m | 50 mm |
| Wall or fence near the footpath | 5–10 m | 100 mm |
| House set back behind a front garden | 10–20 m | 150 mm |
| Long driveway, rural block, wide frontage | 20 m+ | 200 mm |
If you're between two sizes, go up. The common regret is numbers that look right standing at the wall and disappear from the road.
AS/NZS 4819, the Australian and New Zealand addressing standard, requires an address number to be "clearly legible from where the site would normally be accessed" — and for a unit, that the street number is shown as well as the unit number. It sets no minimum height, so the table above is our guidance rather than a rule. Your local council may have its own requirements; it's worth a check if your block is unusual.
Character sizes
The size you choose is the font's base height. It's the reference every character is built from, not the finished height of the piece — most capitals match it exactly, round letters overshoot slightly, ascenders rise above it and descenders drop below. The slash is the tallest character in all three fonts.
The tables below give the real printed size of every character, measured from the models we print from. Each cell reads height × width × thickness in millimetres. Open the font you've chosen.
If you're fitting an address into a measured space, add up the widths and then allow a gap between characters — roughly 7% of the base height for Modern and 13% for Cyber. Cursive is a joining script, so its characters sit almost touching; leave next to nothing between them.

Allow about 1% for printing tolerance on top of these figures. A character shown as N/A at 200 mm is wider than our print bed at that size and can’t be made — every other character is available in every size. If your text includes one, we’ll contact you before printing.
Plain or outlined?
This is the plain version: one colour, smooth face. Clean, quiet, and it suits a frontage where you want the numbers to be correct rather than loud — or where the wall behind already gives you all the contrast you need.
We also make an outlined version — the same character in one colour, with a raised outline of its own shape on the top face in a second. It reads more strongly from the street, because it doesn't depend on your wall colour for contrast.
Colour
The colour goes all the way through the part. It isn't painted or coated, so a scuff shows the same colour underneath, and there is nothing to chip, peel or lift at the edges.
Choose for contrast with the wall behind, not just for the colour you like on its own. The test that works: squint at the swatch, then squint at your wall. If they blur into the same tone, the number will disappear from the road — however different the two colours look side by side up close. At distance the eye reads light and dark long before it reads hue.
Screens vary, so treat the swatches as a guide rather than a match. If you need to match existing numbers, a letterbox or window trim exactly, ask us before ordering.
Common questions
Do i and j come as one piece?
No — the stem and the dot are two separate pieces, because that's what they are. Worth knowing before you plan your spacing.
How long will they last outside?
We don't put a number on it, because we don't have test data behind one. What we can tell you is which plastic we chose and why it's the one used for parts that live outdoors — see Why ASA above. How any plastic ages outside depends on your climate, your aspect and how much direct sun it takes.
Can I get a colour that isn't shown?
Sometimes. The swatches reflect what we stock in outdoor-grade ASA, and the range grows. Ask before ordering and we'll tell you honestly whether we can get it.
Do you do trade or bulk quantities?
Yes — unit numbers for apartment blocks, room numbers for accommodation, door numbers for a development. tell us what you need and we'll quote it.
What it won't do
- It isn't metal, and it won't outlive the house. No weight of cast bronze, no look of brushed stainless. Cast metal will still be on the wall long after this needs replacing, and we're not going to pretend otherwise.
- It has no contrast of its own. A single colour reads against your wall or it doesn't — that's the wall's decision, not ours. If yours is mid-toned, busy or shadowed, the outlined version is the honest answer.
- It isn't a structural or fire-rated product. It's signage.
About the printed finish
These are 3D printed, and a printed object has a texture worth knowing about before it arrives. The face and the sides are different. We print each character face-up, so the face you see on the wall is the top surface of the print — fine parallel passes with a single loop following the character's edge. The stacked layer lines people associate with 3D printing are on the sides, running around the character's profile. Both are visible from arm's length and neither is visible from the street.
The back is flat and clean, so it sits properly against your wall.
It isn't an injection-moulded gloss finish. It's a made-to-order object with a slight tooth to it, which is exactly what lets us offer any size, any font and any character without a minimum order.
Fixing them up
Every character has a flat back and no fixing holes, so they go on with adhesive. We don't include one — which is deliberate. The right product depends entirely on your wall, a generic tape that doesn't suit your surface goes straight in the bin, and the correct one costs a few dollars at any hardware store.
| Your surface | Use |
|---|---|
| Smooth and sound — painted render, painted timber, glass, colorbond, powder-coated metal, composite cladding | Exterior-grade double-sided mounting tape (the thick acrylic foam type) |
| Textured or rough — face brick, limestone, unsealed render, bare timber | Neutral-cure exterior silicone, or a construction adhesive |
| Anywhere you want it permanent | Construction adhesive |
Tape needs flat contact to work. On textured brick or limestone there isn't enough of it, and tape will let go — that's the single most common way stick-on numbers fail. Silicone fills the texture instead, which is why it's the answer on those walls.
If you use silicone, choose neutral-cure rather than acetic-cure (the kind that smells of vinegar). Neutral-cure is kinder to paint, render and metal.
Putting them up
- Clean the surface with methylated spirits and let it dry.
- Position with low-tack masking tape first, then stand back at the distance people will actually read them from. Spacing always looks different from the footpath than it does from arm's length.
- Press each character firmly for around thirty seconds.
- Leave it a day before testing it in wind or rain.
