What are Channel Letter Signs, and How They Help

BY: CHERYL ARCHER, SignWorks Inc.

Channel letters are an excellent way to make your business stand out. High-quality channel letter signs provide a powerful visual impact which can attract passersby and draw attention to your establishment. Custom-made channel letters are also great for branding, as they allow you to prominently display your company name, logo, or message in a unique and eye-catching way.

What are Channel Letter Signs?

Channel letters are three-dimensional, illuminated signs customized to fit any business’s needs. These signs typically consist of acrylic faces, aluminum returns, and LED lighting. 

The faces are usually made from durable, weather-resistant materials formed into custom shapes or logos. The returns, or sides of the letters, are usually made from aluminum, so they can be shaped and bent into different angles. Finally, LED lighting is used to light up the channel letter sign and make it visible during the day and night.

Lighting & Mounting Options for Channel Letter Signs

One of the benefits of using channel letter signs is they come with various lighting and mounting options. 

For lighting, you can choose between front-lit, back-lit, open-lit, and combinations-lit letters. 

  • Front-lit letters are designed to allow light to shine through the face of the letter. This is the most common type of lighting for channel letter signs. 
  • Back-lit letters are designed to shine onto the mounting surface, creating a glow effect.
  • Open-face letters provide a powerful illuminated effect by having LEDs placed inside each letter without a face covering these elements.
  • Combinations-lit letters combine front-lit and back-lit, allowing light to shine through the face and onto the mounting surface.

When it comes to mounting, there are three options available: flush mounted, raceway mounted, and stand-off mounting. 

  • Flush-mounted letters are attached directly to the building, creating a sleek and modern look. This option is one of the most popular. However, it requires the most preparation and work as the electrical components are housed in the building.
  • Raceway-mounted letters require a metal raceway to be mounted to the building before the channel letter signs can be installed. This system is more affordable than flush-mounted and offers the added benefit of a removable sign, allowing for easy repair or replacement. 
  • Stand-offs mount the letters away from the building without needing a raceway. This is a popular option for back-lit and combination-lit signs.
