Channel Letters

Business owners spend a lot of time finalizing the perfect signage that can reflect what their business stands for. No matter how big or small your business is, do not miss the opportunity and grab the attention of your target audience by installing custom channel letters. They are one of the most common choices for illuminated outdoor signs and the reason is the professional outlook they provide to a business irrespective of what industry they belong to.

Channel letters were originally made from sheet metal, hand-formed into a channel in the shape of letters. Custom channel letters today are still made the same way, just on more modern equipment. There are a number of different ways to fabricate the letters depending on the application, installation location, and the designed viewing distance.

More Insights On Channel Letter Signs

For standard fonts and sizes, there is also the option of molded plastic letters. Channel letters are not just for the exterior of the building, they can be incorporated on the interior in a shopping mall or business lobby.

Besides letter height, depth, and font there are lighting options. Channel letters can be illuminated or non-illuminated to create a 3D effect. They can be made in a way that the front face is lit with LEDs, which allows for the option of colour for the front faces. The other lighting option is to have the light exit the back of the letter and bounce off the wall for a backlit, reverse-lit, or halo-lit effect. It is also possible to have the front faces show one colour during the day and a different colour at night.

Channel Letters FAQs

What are channel letter signs?

Channel letters are custom-made metal or plastic letters commonly used in exterior signage on public and commercial buildings and are often internally illuminated. Channel letter signs can be recognized by their hollow interior since the letters are manufactured by first creating the sides and then adding a front and back cover.

What is a reverse channel letter?

A reverse channel letter has a permanently affixed face and a removable back. The lit versions would be mounted away from the wall so that the light forms a halo behind them, which is why they're often called “halo” or “backlit” letters. Reverse channel letters have a metal face instead of an acrylic one. They're also fitted with aluminum returns (the sides of the letters).
