Channel letter signs are one of the most effective signage options to help businesses and organizations outshone their competition. Their sleek designs and illumination draw customers in immediately from a distance.
They can come in different sizes, fonts and colors to fit the branding of an organization or business, are durable and can be utilized across different settings.
LED Channel Letters
LED channel letters can help your business stand out after dark by being extremely bright while using up to 80% less power than traditional neon signs. Plus, these LED letters can even be designed to twinkle!
Standard Front Lit Channel Letters – are composed of aluminum backs and sides (returns) illuminated internally by LED’s or neon lighting, while their sign faces consist of pieces of plastic molded to fit snugly against the open face of their respective letter cans; usually made of translucent light-diffusing colored plastics for maximum light diffusion, these signs can also be customized using cut vinyl to create different lighting effects or produce a halo effect around their letters.
Letters and logos can be attached directly to the structure for an architectural appearance, or alternatively mounted to an oversized monument or cabinet sign backer for easier wiring access and lower mounting costs. This ensures a cleaner installation process and reduced mounting costs.
Acrylic Channel Letters
Channel letter signage works 24/7 to entice customers into visiting your business. Its bold colors and sizes attract motorists far away and demand 24-hour visibility, which works great in retail centers, shopping malls, highways or cityscapes. Plus it features energy efficient LED components making it eco-friendly as well as cost effective!
Face channel letters, commonly known as internally lit channel letters, feature an LED light source which illuminates their acrylic face to showcase your business logo or lettering. Face channel letters are widely seen around town day and night; drawing attention from passersby.
Plastic formed channel letters feature a plastic backer with an adhesive lip that snaps over a metal base. A translucent, light-diffusing plastic cover is then applied over the face of the sign for weather resistance and repairability – providing sturdy signage without neon costs!
Aluminum Channel Letters
Aluminum is an incredibly strong and resilient material ideal for commercial signage applications, withstanding harsh weather elements such as rain or snow without being easily damaged by them. Furthermore, its heatproof qualities make it suitable for high-rise buildings or outdoor malls alike.
Illuminated aluminum channel letters can be front or back lit depending on your branding needs, as they’re custom fabricated from a coil sheet of aluminum with aluminum back and acrylic sides (known as returns) attached at their ends; either an acrylic face is present, or nonexistent altogether; then one return is fitted with lighting elements, usually LEDs.
Your sign may either be directly-mounted or mounted onto a raceway depending on its placement on a wall. Direct-mount signs require each letter to have its own wire, while raceway mounts require all letters in a set to connect their wiring via a single aluminum mounting bar. Custom signs can be created according to your precise specifications including color, style, font and typeface.
Metal Channel Letters
Channel letters are highly visible signage that is effective day and night, helping your business attract customers. These illuminated individual letter or symbol signs come in various shapes, fonts and sizes to meet the branding needs of any unique business or branding campaign. Furthermore, depending on local zoning laws or lease agreements you can select either illuminated or non-illuminated versions for maximum flexibility in customer attraction.
Metal facade lighting systems can be found on buildings, storefronts or other structures to make an elegant visual impact that draws people in from passing by. Their illumination can be controlled using either a remote control or timer making them simple to use.
Front lit channel letters feature aluminum backs, returns (also called sides), and acrylic faces; these can be painted to match building facades and attached to raceways (metal structures that house sign wiring and power supplies), making this option especially appealing to landlords and property management companies looking to minimize holes being drilled in buildings.
