Channel letter signs are an increasingly popular signage choice for many business locations, offering various fonts, colors and shapes as well as illumination or non-illumination options.
A prototype channel-letter sign features end-lit fiber-optic (FO) cables lining a metal treble clef border and trim cap for added depth to its message. This unique lighting effect adds depth and dimension to its message while emphasizing its message.
Durability
Channel letters are individually constructed three-dimensional objects made of metal (aluminum or stainless steel) or plastic that are illuminated internally using LED’s, often custom tailored to your storefront and featuring any font, color or design you can imagine. When illuminated, channel letters create an exciting, eye-catching sign that attracts customers both daytime and nighttime.
No matter if it is front lit or halo-illuminated, professionally manufactured signs from reputable channel letter manufacturers will enhance brand recognition and attract new customers while remaining long lasting and durable.
As part of the fabrication process, a flat sheet of aluminum is cut by computer-controlled router, laser or water jet according to vector art files (.cdr,.eps,.ai,.scv,.sci etc). Once cut, returns are bent around letter backs and faces CNC routed onto CNC routers before being welded back onto an aluminum backboard, painted and fitted with any lighting components as necessary.
Customization
Channel letter signs come in various sizes and fonts, making them an excellent way for businesses looking to draw customers in. Furthermore, these illuminated displays make a bold statement that will distinguish your company from competitors.
There are various styles of channel letters to choose from, including front lit, back lit and open face. Their illumination color depends on whether they use LED lighting and translucent plastic face material or vinyl covering; their sides – known as returns – can then be painted the color of your choice.
Faces of letters may be constructed from various materials such as acrylic or polycarbonate. They’re held in place with trim caps made of aluminum alloy to complete their sleek appearance, and can be mounted flush to walls or raceways.
Easy Installation
Channel letters are among the most visible types of business signage, offering 24/7 visibility and creating an impactful statement about your brand or business. Available as front lit, reverse lit, front/backlit (duel lit) or open face options – channel letters offer something suitable for every situation!
They can be made out of materials like acrylic or polycarbonate sheeting and aluminum sheeting for optimal weather resistance, including hot and cold temperatures, winds and precipitation.
Installing these durable signs is simple, even for DIYers! Hang them using a sign bracket or attach directly to the storefront with just the necessary tools – in no time at all, your sign can be up and drawing customers! From heavy equipment dealers and restaurants alike, storefront signs are an invaluable way of drawing in customers and drawing them in.
Maintenance
Channel letter signs offer an affordable and cost-effective means of advertising your business to passersby day and night, while still being attractive and impactful. By using LED lights, these signs can illuminate any font, color, or design you choose and are easy to maintain.
Standard channel letters are three-dimensional graphic sign elements with their own lighting components, consisting of sheet metal (usually aluminum) that forms its “channel.” Returns on this channel can then be formed by bending aluminum sheet around a base called a can, with translucent or opaque plastic facings attached directly onto it.
There are four main categories of channel letters: front lit, back lit, reverse lit and halo-lit. Front-lit channels emit illumination directly from the front of the sign while reverse and back lit channels generate illumination from behind it creating a stunning halo effect at night.
