Channel letters are internally illuminated three-dimensional letters or logos used to display your business name or message. You have the option of either front lighting or backlighting them depending on your preference.

Fabricating these signs begins with a router cutting aluminum sheets into letter shapes. Next, computer-driven bending and shaping machines form their returns into signs.

Customization

Channel letters make an effective storefront signage solution, and can be custom fabricated in a range of fonts and colors to reflect your brand identity. Furthermore, they come in a range of sizes with illumination or non-illumination depending on your requirements.

Back and sides of a sign are typically constructed out of aluminum sheeting bent using automated machines and then painted to match either standard colors or custom hues chosen to coordinate with an acrylic face being placed onto it. Finally, it’s fastened together using something known as a trim cap to secure its position on top.

Front lit channel letters are among the most sought-after types of channel letter signs, featuring aluminum backs, aluminum sides (called returns ), acrylic faces illuminated by LED tubes, and lighting that creates an “halo” effect that’s hard to miss.

They’re easy to transport when necessary too, making this sign type ideal for use outdoors or even near fire sources. Plus they look professional while meeting branding standards!

Once attached to its back and painted or shaded accordingly (either standard colors or branding-specific PMS shades are usually employed), your signage is certain to look its best over time.
