Channel letter signs consist of an open-face metal letter can, an translucent plastic face and lighting components such as neon gas tubes or light-emitting diode (LED) modules for illumination. Letter cans are typically painted and given an attractive trim cap border to provide both fastening surface and polished appearance.

They are durable
Channel letters are three-dimensional graphic sign elements fabricated into letters, numbers or logos and illuminated with LEDs or neon tubing for illumination. Channel letters can be seen promoting businesses and brands at retail stores, strip mall public buildings or offices.
Illuminated channel letters are an increasingly popular choice for storefront signage, as they allow customers to easily identify a business from afar and provide greater visibility during low lighting conditions, such as at night. Plus, these versatile letters come in multiple sizes and fonts to meet any business need.
Channel letters are made from high-grade materials to ensure longevity and long-term use, matching any brand colors or graphics perfectly. Furthermore, they’re easy to install and require less maintenance than other forms of signage – making them a cost-effective solution for businesses of any kind. Furthermore, these durable signs can withstand even severe weather conditions without becoming damaged.
They are easy to install
Channel letters can help your brand stand out and draw new customers in. These specialized signage pieces can either be front-lit or back-lit depending on client preference, making them highly customizable to match any brand aesthetic.
Cost considerations when purchasing a channel letter sign depend on various aspects, such as its type and method of lighting as well as mounting. If it needs to be placed on an expansive building, however, that price could increase because fabrication and lifting operations may need to take place beforehand.
Your sign may also require a raceway mount, which is a plastic or metal conduit that runs behind your sign and protects its wiring. This helps minimize holes being drilled in your building and any possible surface damage; especially beneficial when back-lit signs create an attractive halo effect around the acrylic face of their sign.
They are customizable
Channel letter signs can make an immediate impression for your business. They’re an economical and effective solution for increasing brand recognition; plus they come in various fonts, sizes, and colors, providing plenty of customization possibilities that fit any type of organization.
The Face of a sign is typically constructed of translucent light-diffusing plastic such as acrylic or polycarbonate that can be customized using cut vinyl. When Front-Lit or Combination-Lit signs are illuminated from front, color elements of their logo will reflect from this plastic surface onto either an illuminated halo in back; or just off of its Face entirely.
Trim caps are used to secure letter faces to the return. This helps ensure they remain snug and prevent wind vibration or breakage, while direct mounting or, for larger buildings, raceway mounting reduces wall penetrations. Finally, power is supplied from within the mounting panel itself.
