Channel letters are one of the most popular type of signs. They are very versatile and can be made to look interesting and eye-catching, exciting or playful. At the Sign and Graphics Manufaktur, we can make a custom channel letter sign for you in any colour, with a variety of different fonts for you to choose from. You could also have a “halo lit” channel letter sign, where the LED (Light Emitting Diode) lights shine against the wall giving a glow around the sign, which looks really cool in the night. So you get it there are lots of different options when it comes to design, but what is the right size for your channel letter sign?
Is there a minimum size for my Channel letter sign?
Yes, there is. Channel letters are lit with LED (Light Emitting Diode) lights you need to be able to fit the LED lighting inside the sign. LEDs are long lasting, consume less energy and generate less heat, making it a good option if you are concerned about your energy usage. The minimum size required to fit an LED light would be a width of around 8 inches. But if you want to make a sign that is only 8 inches wide, I would recommend that you choose a different type of sign such as dimensional letters that are non-lit. These can be made with steel or aluminum depending on your preference and your budget. With Channel letters your goal is for passersby to be able to see your sign clearly. The larger your sign, the more visibility it will have and will be able to reach a larger audience resulting in drawing more customers and more business.
How large can my Channel letter sign be?
A large sign is great for attracting attention to your business, but there are some things you need to keep in mind. The sign needs to be in 
proportion of the storefront or other wall space where you are placing the sign. The larger the channel letter sign, the stronger the material you will need to use and with the larger size, the price will also likely increase as you’d have to have more LED lights and more material to produce it. Most Channel letters in business signs will range from around 18 to 36 inches.
