Channel letter signs can make your business stand out at night, offering an alternative to neon signage with an elegant and professional appearance.
These signs offer several advantages over conventional business signs, making them an excellent choice for your next sign display.
Durability
Channel letter signs are one of the most dependable forms of business signage, offering long-term durability with their flexible shape that can represent letters, numbers and logos. Available in an assortment of colors for enhanced visibility and appeal, LED lighting can also add extra visibility and beauty.
Location and temperature are two key considerations when it comes to durability of any sign, such as its location by an ocean; salt air may accelerate material degradation. Furthermore, cold weather may sap energy from your lights faster and reduce their lifespan.
Also, signs that face busy streets or highways will likely experience more vibration and impact than signs mounted to buildings or interior spaces; to make sure your sign remains as long-lasting as possible, seek out a supplier with expertise in manufacturing these signs.
Customization
Custom LED channel letters are highly versatile, accommodating virtually any size and shape you might need for your brand and logo. Not only that, but you also have the flexibility of choosing colors, fonts, styles and backlighting effects for added visibility.
Back-lit channel letter signs are commonly utilized by retailers and restaurants that operate after dark. Illuminated by LEDs, they create a halo effect around their characters for enhanced readability. Backlit letter signs may also be found at bars, pubs, grills as well as convenience stores or gas stations.
Signs are created using flat pieces of aluminum cut into desired shapes using a router. After this step is completed, returns (also known as sides or edges) are bent and shaped using computerized bending machines, before finally attaching an acrylic face with trim caps to each return side.
Energy Efficiency
LED lighting has brought channel letter signs into a whole new era and made them even more impressive! Perfect for businesses that operate after dark such as restaurants, bars and hotels – LEDs offer unparalleled illumination!
Instead of the energy-guzzling neon lights, LEDs offer energy efficient solutions without compromising brand visibility. You can choose between showcase LED’s for window displays with warm hues or low profile LED’s that produce intense illumination over long distances.
Our most popular option is our front-lit or face illuminated channel letter sign. These signs feature an acrylic face which illuminates each character from front and can be customized to any color imaginable. Furthermore, this sign type also gives users the power to add a striking halo backlight in another hue for added impact.
Aesthetics
Channel letters lit with LED lighting create an eye-catching, eye-catching image day and night, helping businesses remain visible even after sunset, drawing customers in.
Display your business logo or name proudly on your storefront with these signs. Their illumination gives your brand an impressive and professional appearance to set yourself apart from competitors.
Front-lit channel letters are the most cost-effective type, employing one light source to illuminate all letters simultaneously. Back-lit versions require separate power supplies and more costly setup costs.
Face-lit channel letters are created using an aluminum back and sides (called returns ) connected by fasteners secured using a router and computer-driven fabrication machine, then fastened together using a router and computer fabrication machine. Finally, an acrylic face cut to size and attached via trim caps completes the sign.
