Channel letters are bold signs that are perfect for boosting a business’s ability to capture people’s attention. By customizing them to spell out their business’s name or logo, these signs help businesses attract customers, day and night, and build strong brand recognition in their local community.
Crafting a logo with channel letters requires a customized design and production process with the help of a professional signage company. We will personalize each letter to accurately portray the letters or symbols in your business’s logo. You may also opt to add illumination within the signage to enhance its visibility.
Channel letters are fixed onto a surface, such as a wall or building’s facade, using screws or brackets.
The mounting method used is dependent on your preferred look for your sign solution. For example, if you want the channel letters to be right against the wall, a flush mount is required.
Channel letters are big, three-dimensional letters that are often seen on shop signs or buildings. They extend outwards against the surface, which adds depth to your signage. They can be added to other sign types, such as pylon signs or monument signs, increasing their visual appeal and visibility.
Channel letters are usually made from metal, such as aluminum, and acrylic. The aluminum ensures the body of the sign is strong, durable, and long-lasting, while the acrylic makes up the sign face, which lights up and draws attention even from afar or in the dark.
Reverse channel letters are a form of channel letters that illuminate behind the sign, creating an eye-catching glow around each letter. Not only does this form of lighting make each letter highly visible, especially at night, but it also creates a captivating aesthetic that boosts visual appeal.
Flush mount channel letters refer to how the signage is mounted onto the building facade or wall. This technique ensures that the letters are installed flat against the wall, creating a clean, modern look to the sign. This prevents business owners from choosing a backer or raceway that complements the aesthetic of the letters.
Led lights are installed inside each channel letter to make them shine brightly. Led lights are energy-efficient, ensuring they last a long time and helping your sign stay visible for a longer duration than traditional bulbs. With the help of experienced installers, the electrical work for this sign solution is completed seamlessly.
The cost of a channel sign depends on numerous factors, such as its size, the materials used, the level of customization, and where it’s being installed. The general range for customized channel letters varies from $4,000 to $6,000. For a more accurate estimate for your next signage project, contact our team.
Channel letters are fixed securely to the building or sign structure using one of the following techniques:

• Backer mount: letters are installed to a backer that is attached to the wall.
