Channel letter signs are an attractive and eye-catching way to draw customers in. Illuminated using neon or LED lighting, these eye-catching signs use color to spell out your company name in bright hues.
Raceway-mounted letters typically require less building penetrations than other signs and are most commonly mounted directly to a wall surface or mounted on a raceway, a box which houses electrical wiring and power supplies for illumination.
Customization
Channel letter signage exudes prestige, making it ideal for high-rise locations. Furthermore, it can even be illuminated at night to increase brand recognition and visibility.
Channel letters are the go-to choice for storefront signage. Consisting of three dimensional metal elements cut to form letters, numbers or symbols that can be precisely aligned, channel letters can be secured to any background frame (such as raceway signs) or flush mounted directly onto buildings for direct mounting. Finally, they come equipped with an acrylic top in any color or transparency level to match branding needs perfectly.
CNC routers are used to cut aluminum channels letters. Their sides are then formed by bending an aluminum strip around their back and creating what is known as a “return”. Next, either welding or preforming takes place on this return; once painted and fitted with LED lighting fixtures for illumination. Front-lit letters are popular since the illumination shines directly through their letter faces while more modern variations include halo-lit signs with illumination both front and back creating an eye-catching glow surrounding each letter face.
Durability
Channel letter signs provide your company with the perfect way to grab attention from motorists and pedestrians all day and night, at an economical price point. They come in an assortment of fonts and colors and even illuminated with neon or LED lights if desired.
No matter which mounting option your business chooses – raceway or backer mount – the signage will remain long-lasting and secure. A raceway mount features a single metal box spanning the length of a sign’s letters with electrical wiring, power supply and fasteners for easier wall installation and painting to match signage for a seamless appearance.
Backer mounts are less frequently utilized but equally reliable methods of mounting channel letters. Signs mounted this way sit atop a larger backer panel or metal cabinet which holds all electrical and wiring connections, further distancing your signs from buildings while still creating an eye-catching appearance. Customize these panels using different materials and styles for a personalized appearance.
Lightweight
Channel letter signage is an effective way to boost brand visibility and create an eye-catching design. Available in various sizes, fonts and illumination methods – as well as being custom manufactured – channel letter signs can add brand visibility by increasing brand exposure in an effective and engaging manner. Featuring flush mounting or raceway mount options; channel letter signs are customized specifically to each business brand for an unmistakably professional finish in any marketplace.
These signs feature an acrylic face routed into the shape of letters, numbers or logos. Their back is composed of aluminum or clear polycarbonate (for an “halo” effect). Their faces may also be illuminated using LEDs, neon lighting or open face displays.
Foam channel letters offer businesses with limited budgets an economical yet stylish sign solution. Not only are these lighter than metal letters, they can also be cut to various shapes by simply preforming or running through an automatic letter bender to form your sign’s desired form.
Aesthetics
Channel letters offer an eye-catching way to draw attention to your company name and message. Their highly visible luminous quality can be seen day or night, making them a powerful branding tool.
They come in various sizes and colors to allow you to design a sign that perfectly reflects your brand aesthetics. Letter signs can also be illuminated in various ways such as face-lit or reverse lit displays – creating an eye-catching “halo” effect around each letter.
Aluminum (which doesn’t rust) is cut into the shape of the letter or symbol with either a CNC router, laser cutter, or water jet and then routed by an acrylic face router to fit exactly on top. Trim caps fasten this combination together for added protection against rattles, vibrations, weather damage and professional looks while remaining corrosion-resistant for easy maintenance compared to neon which often requires regular upkeep.
