01.

A channel is created from a sheet of aluminum

The first step in making a channel letter sign is to create a channel from a sheet of aluminum using hydraulic pressure to bend the metal to shape. This channel will act as the frame for the sign which will also be power coated with the appropriate paint.

02.

A piece of acrylic or another type material is then cut to shape

The next step is to cut a piece of acrylic or another type of material that will be inserted into the channel. This part will be used for the face color of your logo or letters, depending on the style light will be able to pass through it. The face can be colored acrylic or vinyl applied.

03.

Next step is wiring the LED modules to the channel letter frame

In this step is where the sign comes to life and we put the led lights, wires and transformer together to complete the production.

04.

The channel is then placed on the wall or surface that the sign will be displayed on

At this step the sign will be mounted typically using a bucket truck and the assistance of a template to get everything aligned or a raceway. This completes the channel letter sign!

Channel letter signs are three-dimensional signage that are usually displayed to adorn the exterior of many businesses.

They are made of combining aluminum and acrylic which includes LED illumination. The returns, or the letter side are made of aluminum whereas the face and back are usually acrylic, but can sometimes be aluminum, or non-existent.

These signs are usually mounted on building fronts having different style options including types, color, font, and more. 

Components of Channel Letter Signs

There are 5 components of channel letter signs that you need to know.

Return or Channel

The return or the letter side is a heavy-duty yet lightweight piece of aluminum that is bent and welded in order to maintain the structure, shape, and design of your sign. The aluminum sheeting channels the light to direct how your sign will light.

Face

The face of the channel letter sign is typically made of acrylic but sometimes it can be made of aluminum, particularly for backlit signs.

Trim Cap

A metal strip called a trim cap is directly affixed to the face. It has a soft acrylic feature that is utilized to firmly hold the face to the structural aluminum channel.

Back

The back can either be  aluminum or acrylic. It highly depends on your lighting style option. 

Lighting Source

Channel letter signs use LED lighting which is safer and more energy efficient. Plus, it produces a stunning and long-lasting glow.

Backlit Channel Letter Signs Defined

Channel letter signs have different types. And, if you are looking for a type of sign that can give your brand image a unique, elegant, and distinguished look, nothing beats backlit channel letter signs.

Also called as halo lit, or reverse, backlit channel letters are made out of aluminum faces and returns that are raised off the wall. With this, the LED lights inside them illuminate from the sides casting a glow around each letter. 

The result? Classy and unique look with a breath-taking floating effect.

Benefits of Backlit Channel Letter Signs

Backlit channel letters do more for a building’s façade than just make it look more dramatic and aesthetically pleasing. In fact, there are many advantages to using this type of channel letters. 

Visibility

Backlit channel letters offer exceptional visibility for any businesses. They boast large and bold letters that can be clearly seen from afar and provide a visually appealing glow that stands out even at night. 

Versatility

With backlit channel letter signs, the sky’s the limit. It is your way to go when it comes to design flexibility. You have the option to use LED lighting or neon in the display. You can even use a combination of lighting techniques to create your desired look. 

3D Effect

Unlike the traditional business signs, backlit channel letters boast a depth in appearance. The light that emerges from behind the letters and reflects off the wall can produce a 3D effect. Additionally, it gives the letters the appearance of floating.

Uniqueness

One of the unique signage types on the market right now is backlit channel letters. Compared to front lit letters that can be attractive yet basic, backlit letter signs offer a more dramatic and aesthetic look that will leave a lasting impression on people.

Because the backs of the letters are uncovered, light that is generated inside reflects off the wall and gives the letter shapes a “halo effect.”

Improve brand image

Channel letters reflect your brand image.

When done right, backlit channel letter signs can improve the image you want your brand to portray. Having eye-grabbing channel signs displayed on your storefront will not only attract people, but also give people the impression that your business can provide the highest quality of products and services.
