Posted on Wendy Johnson Highly recommend! We needed banners and fatheads for a Naperville North basketball senior night. We needed them done quickly. I emailed on a Sunday night and got a response fast. From beginning to end, the experience and customer service was great. They responded quickly to emails and have an easy way to “drop” pictures into their site through a link they provide. They provided proofs for review. Pricing is fair. The banners and fatheads turned out great! Definitely recommend!Posted on Bob Pavelchik Outstanding service and product! I needed a banner for a retirement event, had it in two business days, professionally designed and produced. Thanks to Atul and the whole production team for a job well done! Another FANTASTIC banner ! Fast service again!!Posted on Norelle Simon Let me start by saying we had absolutely nobody to do out churches banner for months, mainly because we didn't have a vector file. Everyone who said they could do it, didn't do it, they tried, but were unsuccessful. All we sent was a photo, explained what we needed done, and they made it happen. We am absolutely 💯 percent beyond impressed with how our banner turned out. We will definitely use them from now on for all our printing needs and you should too. Remember if there is a will, there is a way.Posted on Komal Rajput Excellent service & great quality! We always have great experience working with Captivating Signs on all our printing projects.Posted on Pedro Toledano I stopped by at Captivating signs looking for help with our office sign for our roofing company. I dealt with Ken from the very beginning and he was very helpful in explaining all the different material options for my sign. With his help we chose the material and placed the order. A few days later the sign was ready for pick up and we could not be happier with the results. We love our sign and would recommend Captivating Signs to anyone looking for a sign place that provides professional and friendly service. Thanks Ken for the great service!Posted on Monika Blacha Captivating Signs created a very professional looking design. The process was easy and the installation was seemless.Posted on Janet Kaiser We had our sign for behind the desk at our dental office done by Captivating Signs and we are very happy. They worked with me the whole way to make sure I was getting what I had pictured in my head. When they came to install, they were so very nice and took care not to get dust and such in any of our office equipment. Once they were done, they wiped everything down so there was no dust left behind. A great place to get your signs made and installed.Posted on JJ Highly Recommended. Underpromised and overdelivered! After a different contractor botched our sign delivery timeline, Atul and the captivating signs team were able to deliver and install our sign in less than 8 weeks. Will use again.Posted on Beata Flatley My experience working with Atul was wonderful! He was very good at making sure I got everything I asked for. We now have a beautiful sign for our new skincare spa, come check it out at Red Carpet Lash & Beauty Bar in Willowbrook IL. I highly recommend Captivating Signs!Posted on Amar Patel Absolutely amazing service. Super responsive and did a great job!! Will definitely use again. Fixed our outdoor sign due to wind damage within a day.
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:
• Raceway mount: letters are affixed to a metal raceway, which is attached to the wall.
• Backer mount: letters are installed to a backer that is attached to the wall.
• Flush mount: letters are applied flush with the wall.
