Channel letters go beyond traditional sign types by creating three-dimensional logos to represent your brand in three dimensions. Highly customizable, channel letters offer increased night visibility when lit with LED illumination.
The letter’s face is made from molded plastic that allows 85 to 95 percent of light through. Choose your colors for both its face and stainless steel return for an optimal brand match.
They are easy to read
Channel letter signs are among the most popular types of business signage, particularly in large malls, downtown storefronts, and commercial buildings. Available in various sizes, shapes, and colors – they can also be tailored specifically to meet your branding requirements – they are great at drawing in customers as well as passersby.
Front-lit channel letters are an increasingly popular type of sign, featuring translucent acrylic faces illuminated by light sources to make the letters visible in low lighting conditions. Ideal for businesses relying on visibility to draw in new customers, these front-lit channel letters offer businesses a visible solution that draws customers in night and day alike.
Back-lit letters are another type of sign which utilizes lighting from behind each letter to produce an illuminated “halo” and increase visibility at night. They’re ideal for large buildings with lots of foot traffic as they make it easier to locate specific businesses quickly.
Raceways are pieces of equipment used to conceal all electrical wires and power supplies for channel letter signs, reducing the number of holes required in building facades. Often painted to complement their sign color.
They are affordable
Channel letter signs are an effective way to bring customers in and draw attention to your business, particularly during night hours. With their ability to draw in customers quickly and draw the eye from across the room, channel letter signs make an impactful statement about who your company is while also being cost effective and suitable for any budget and business need.
Cost factors that influence channel letter sign prices include material selection (fabricated or molded plastic), character count and any additional requirements such as vandalism protection or stormproofing. Fabricated channel letter signs tend to be more expensive but long-term durability is ensured as vandals or storms will not damage them.

They are customizable
Channel letters can be an effective way of engaging your target audience and can be customized to fit into any branding requirements. Channel letters can help bring attention to an event or advertise services; creating channel letters is one way that businesses can stand out from competitors by engaging their target audiences and making themselves stand out.
Signage with front, back or halo lighting comes in many different styles to fit your brand’s identity, from front-lit signs to backlit signs with illuminated letters that come in sizes, fonts and colors that match. Each letter’s front side is constructed from translucent acrylic while its sides and backs feature aluminum construction for durability in commercial settings such as shopping centers or office buildings.
Channel letters have long been held together using plastic trim caps; however, modern manufacturing techniques now permit a trimless face option that creates a cleaner appearance as well as improved wind durability.
They are durable
Channel letter signs are durable and require less energy to illuminate than neon signage, with longer lifespan and design standards that match branding for consistent appearance across storefronts, mall entrances, or corporate lobbies. They’re an ideal addition to storefronts, mall entrances and corporate lobbies alike!
Trim cap borders are added to each letter face to add a polished appearance and protect them from wind vibration or breakage, and hold their acrylic faces securely in place against bugs, harsh weather conditions and moisture damage. A secure process should also ensure proper fastening without cracking or shrinkage occurring over time.
Front-lit channels consist of an aluminum pan enclosure fabricated in the shape of each letter with transparent or colored acrylic faces and returns. When illuminated from behind, these letters create an eye-catching halo effect which is visible day or night. For an enhanced effect, double-sided LEDs may also be added for maximum impact.
