What are Channel Letter Signs?

Channel letters are custom-made letters for signs that can be illuminated or non-illuminated. However, Channel letter signs are usually illuminated. They can either be front or face illuminated or halo illuminated where the lighting within the letter projects against the wall or sign. Channel letter signs that are not illuminated are typically referred to as dimensional letter signs.

Uses for Channel Letter Signs

Channel letter signs can usually be found on the outside of buildings. Because they are lighted, channel letter signs generate more impressions than non-lighted signs as they stand out in all weather conditions, including rain, fog, and night time. Colors can be very vibrant and channel letters can be made into any shape or size. We can take various fonts and styles to create custom script style letters. Letters can have custom graphics applied to the surfaces of the face to produce truly unique images and colors.

Types of Channel Letter Signs

Popular materials for channel letter signs include various types of plastic as well as metals, such as aluminum, stainless steel, copper, brass, and more. Channel letter signs are either mounted directly to a wall surface or mounted on a raceway or wireway that is attached to the building. A raceway is a type of mounting structure that also houses the electrical components of the sign. A wireway is similar but generally contains only wiring, so wireways are thinner than raceways. Halo illuminated channel letters are extremely popular and can provide a client with a very elegant look. Halo illuminated channel letters are usually made of metal with LED modules installed in the back to shine against a wall or structure.
