Channel letters are an effective way to attract passersby and draw attention to your business. Not only are they durable, cost-efficient and eco-friendly; there are numerous types of signs available that you can customize according to your specific requirements.

GE’s Tetra LED modules allow for greater spoke spacing than other manufacturers, enabling a single string to illuminate an entire five-inch depth capitol ‘T’ letter with the optimal lighting.

Cost-effective

Channel letter signs are one of the most cost-effective and durable forms of advertising available to your business. Utilizing LED strip lighting – which uses less energy and costs less to run than neon – these signs create brighter lighting that draws customers in while increasing brand recognition for your company.

Backlit or reverse-halo signs provide illumination from behind, lighting up letter faces. Aluminum faces may be covered in transparent acrylic for an eye-catching display or left open depending on desired effect – ideal for retail, restaurants and service businesses.

Fabricated channel letters are constructed out of flat sheets of metal – typically aluminum – cut using a computer-driven router and bent to match the shape of their back using an automated bending machine. Their sides, known as returns, are then connected using welding, riveting or other means for complete formation into final channel letters.

Durable

Channel letter signs are an economical and efficient way to raise brand visibility. Constructed of durable materials, channel letter signs can withstand outdoor conditions for years without becoming faded or damaged – although their longevity depends on factors like location and temperature; signs near salt air may deteriorate faster while those located in cold environments could drain their LED lights quickly, shortening its lifespan significantly.

Channel letters are custom-crafted metal or plastic signs available in many colors and lighting options, typically as standalone pieces with Plexiglas faces and aluminum sides/backs for their construction. Channel letters can be lit front, reverse or dual lit using LEDs as light sources; additionally they often include light diffusers made of anodized aluminum or PC.

Eco-friendly

Channel letters are an effective and energy-efficient way to advertise your business. Constructed of durable yet attractive material, they feature LED bulbs that require much less electricity than neon tubes allowing you to save on electricity costs while lasting longer and being more targeted; ultimately resulting in reduced bulb usage over time.

No matter the style of channel letter sign you choose – face-lit, back-lit or open-face channel letter – they all create custom three-dimensional signs designed to attract passersby’s attention. They come in an assortment of font styles and colors; neon or LED lighting options are available as well.

Channel letters are made of aluminum, and can be painted any color of your choosing. Additionally, backlighting with acrylic creates a “halo” effect around the letters. Depending on the size and complexity of your sign project, you may require planning and zoning approval or building permits for installation.

24/7 visibility

Channel letters are an efficient and eye-catching way to advertise your business name, logo and message. Visible from far away and at all hours of day and night, channel letters also attract much needed customer attention 24/7! Highly customizable signs can even be illuminated to draw in even more customers!

Signs are typically created from flat sheet aluminum that has been router-cut into the desired shape for the back, then bent with computer-driven bending machines into returns that can either be painted with your choice of color or left uncoated for an unadorned appearance.

Channel faces can either be backlit with LEDs or front lit using acrylic faces and aluminum returns; for front lighting use acrylic faces with LED lights mounted behind it to illuminate lettering on an acrylic substrate while back lighting uses aluminum returns that reflect light for an illuminating halo effect around each letter. Both styles come in an assortment of sizes to meet any business requirement.
