Some dimensional letters are very similar to channel letters in that they are fabricated shapes but are not illuminated.

Sign Cabinets
Sign cabinets provide probably the most square footage available in an allowable space. They are also very economical in regards to illuminated signage.

Of all the signage types available, channel letters are the most commonly used for storefront signage. This type of sign is very versatile as they can be front lit or back lit to create a halo effect. They can be mounted directly to the face of the building as individual letters or they can be mounted together on a raceway and mounted as a set to the face of the building. Due to their form, both of these sign types are very attractive. They are very versatile as they can sport a variety of fonts, colors, and styles.
