Types of Channel Letter Signage
Channel signs are versatile and impactful, suitable for both indoor and outdoor use. Commonly found in malls and along major streets, these signs offer endless customization options and can be crafted in various styles to suit your brand. These light up signs can be illuminated or non-illuminated, with options like face-lit, side-lit, reverse-lit, and open-face designs. Installation methods vary, with letters mounted flush to the wall or attached to a raceway for electrical connections and structural support. Whether you seek to enhance visibility or add a touch of sophistication, channel signs offer a dynamic solution for businesses of all types.
Channel letter signs typically feature aluminum or stainless steel letters with sides, known as returns, measuring 3-6 inches in depth. The front of the letters is comprised of translucent acrylic, onto which colored or printed vinyl is applied. While traditionally made from metal, molded and thermoformed plastic can also be used to create three-dimensional logos. LED lights are often installed within the letters to provide illumination in all directions, enhancing visibility and making your signage stand out.

What Illumination Options do I have with Channel Letters?
There are several ways to illuminate channel letter signs, each offering distinct visual effects. The most common method is front illumination, where only the front of the letters lights up, maximizing visibility to attract customers. Another option is reverse channel letters, also known as halo channel letters, which are backlit. In this case, the back of the letters is made from translucent acrylic, and LED lights illuminate from behind, creating a halo effect around the letters. Some signs feature both front and back illumination, though less common, they can be visually stunning. These signs use contrasting colors of vinyl on the front and rear for added impact. Additionally, partial side illumination is possible, but these are specialty products. If you’re unsure which illumination option is best for your channel letters, our sign experts are here to help guide you through the decision-making process. Feel free to reach out to discuss your options further.
Costs of Channel Letters
The cost of channel letter signs varies depending on several factors, including size, materials, illumination method, mounting, and installation. For a standard-size storefront sign installed at street level, you can expect to invest around $5,000 or more for front-lit channel letters. However, this estimate can vary based on additional factors such as permit fees and customization options. While LED lighting keeps ongoing energy costs low, it’s essential to reach out to us for an accurate quote tailored to your specific needs and project requirements.
