What Are Channel Letters?

Channel letters are three-dimensional signs made from metal or plastic that are individually fabricated and mounted to create a bold, eye-catching sign. They are highly customizable and can be illuminated from the front, back, or both sides to maximize visibility.

βœ… Eye-Catching and Professional

Channel letters create a polished and modern look that enhances your business’s exterior and brand identity.

βœ… High Visibility, Day and Night

Illuminated channel letters ensure that your business remains visible even after sunset.

βœ… Customizable to Match Your Brand

From fonts and colors to lighting and mounting styles, channel letters can be tailored to reflect your business’s unique identity.

βœ… Durable and Weather-Resistant

Made from high-quality aluminum and acrylic, channel letters are built to withstand harsh weather conditions without fading or warping.


Types of Custom Channel Letters

We offer a variety of channel letter styles to suit different branding needs and design preferences:

⭐ Front-Lit Channel Letters

The most common type of channel letter where the face is illuminated, creating a bright, vibrant appearance.

  • Ideal for retail stores, restaurants, and malls
  • High-brightness LED lighting for maximum visibility
  • Available in a wide range of colors and finishes

⭐ Halo-Lit (Back-Lit) Channel Letters

These letters are mounted slightly off the wall, with LED lights shining from behind to create a soft halo glow around each letter.

  • Modern and sophisticated appearance
  • Ideal for upscale brands and professional offices
  • Customizable light color and intensity

⭐ Front and Back-Lit Channel Letters

Combines both front and halo illumination for maximum brightness and impact.

  • Creates a layered lighting effect
  • Ideal for high-traffic areas and 24/7 businesses
  • Custom color combinations for face and backlight

⭐ Open Face Channel Letters

These channel letters are built with an exposed face or clear acrylic face, allowing the light source (typically neon) to be visible.

  • Vintage or retro look
  • Popular for bars, restaurants, and entertainment venues
  • Neon or LED light options available

⭐ Reverse Channel Letters

Similar to halo-lit letters, but with the lighting directed toward the wall instead of behind the letter.

For businesses that want the bold look of channel letters without illumination.
