Channel letters are customized three-dimensional metal or plastic LED sign letters used as exterior signage on public and commercial buildings. Their internal illumination comes from light emitting diode (LED) modules or neon gas tubes.

Fabricated using aluminum back, coiled aluminum sides (known as returns), and an acrylic face. Front or back lit illumination options can be included to meet specific business needs.

Fabricated Aluminum Halo Lit Channel Letters

These signs feature a back-lit halo that creates a glowing effect to attract customers to your business. Ideal for locations seeking an elegant or classy aesthetic or in places where light pollution may be an issue, back-lit signs create a distinctive appearance for any establishment.

These letters are made of aluminum faces and returns, which are then welded together into cans, painted to match their letter’s face color, and fitted with LED lights that create a halo effect around each letter.

LEDs can be customized to match any face lens color; to maintain optimal performance of your sign it’s recommended that they are replaced every five years; we offer replacement kits from our parts department to make this easy for you.

Fabricated Acrylic Faceted Channel Letters

Front-lit channel letters are secured in place with a trim cap made of anodized or painted aluminum, often featuring an anodized or painted border which matches its letter body for an uniform, polished appearance.
