LED Channel Letter Signs in Sunset area

Sunset Drive cuts a long, straight line through the middle of unincorporated Sunset, and every plaza along it lives or dies by how well its sign reads to drivers moving 40 miles an hour toward the Palmetto Expressway or the Turnpike ramps. This is a neighborhood built on small footprints and tight competition : a dental office next to a Cuban bakery next to a tax preparer, all sharing the same strip of parking and the same few seconds of a passing driver's attention. LED channel letters are the sign that wins that moment: individually lit dimensional letters that carry a logo cleanly at highway speed and still look sharp up close to someone walking in from the lot. Titans of Print is a family-owned sign shop based just up the road in Doral, and we have spent 20-plus years building these for business owners in exactly this kind of west Miami-Dade commercial strip.

Choose a glowing front-lit face, a halo behind the letters, or both. Titans designs, fabricates and installs illuminated lettering from its Miami/Doral base. Browse real signs below, compare the construction and face options, then send your logo and property details for a quote.

Channel-letter planning around Sunset area

Sunset Drive is a useful South Miami-area reference, but the address determines the sign wall, approach, and property authority. Send street number, business name, and photos from road or parking plus the entrance. These reveal whether customers need a building identifier, storefront mark, or both.

Along a commercial street, the facade may sit beside windows, awnings, and neighboring tenant signs. Include the whole frontage and measure usable area. Review letter height and spacing within those dimensions so the mark remains clear without crowding doors or lights.

If the business receives appointments, decide whether letters must be visible after daylight hours. A front-lit face emphasizes logo color; halo lighting outlines each letter against the wall; dual-lit combines face and rear glow. Specify which logo elements should remain unlit.

For a mixed-use property, confirm who controls the facade and which criteria apply. Share written guidance, known wall construction, and opening date. Review permits for the actual address instead of assuming requirements from Sunset Drive or a nearby district.

Coordinate this sign with Sunset area exterior building signs and Sunset area illuminated signs. Share separate dimensions and photos for each location.

Front-Lit, Halo-Lit or Both?

These three lighting styles use different face and back materials. The diagram shows the construction and the effect each one creates. Choose the look you want, then check it against your wall color, available space and landlord’s sign requirements.

Front-lit channel letters

LEDs inside the letter shine through a translucent acrylic face. The face is the bright part you see at night, while the metal sides give the letter its depth. This is a familiar choice for shops, restaurants and showrooms where a name needs to stand out from the road or parking lot.

White acrylic, colored acrylic and translucent vinyl treatments give you different ways to carry your brand colors. Some front-lit letters have a trim cap around the face; the finish and face treatment are part of the approved design.

Reverse-lit or halo-lit letters

These have an opaque face and LEDs that shine toward the wall. Spacing behind the letters lets the light form a halo around the outline. Painted or metal faces remain visible during the day, with a softer glow after dark.

The wall is part of the effect. A smooth, light wall reflects the glow differently from dark brick or textured cladding. The stand-off distance and letter spacing need to work with that surface.

Front and back lit letters

A translucent face and a clear back let the sign light forward and create a halo behind it. You can also combine different lighting treatments within a logo, such as a glowing name with a backlit symbol.

This gives you more control over the nighttime look, but adds lighting and wiring decisions. We show which parts illuminate on the drawing so you can approve the effect before fabrication.

Illuminated office logos

Indoors, a lit logo is usually seen much closer. Letter depth, brightness and the cable route matter beside a reception desk or decorative wall. The same brand can use a smaller interior sign without copying the exterior installation.

For other indoor treatments, compare office lobby signs, edge-lit acrylic signs and custom acrylic signs. LED neon creates a different line of light and is a separate product.

What Color Will the Face Be, Day and Night?

The face is the front surface of a channel letter. It controls the daytime color and how light passes through the sign after dark. The illustrated options below show why the face material deserves its own decision, even when the letter shape stays the same.

White acrylic with colored vinyl

A white translucent acrylic face can carry applied colored vinyl. This gives you a colored face while letting light through it. The original material example shows 3M colored vinyl; the selected film and acrylic should suit an illuminated sign.

Colored acrylic

The color is in the acrylic itself. It can be a good fit when an available acrylic color suits the logo. Check the color both unlit and illuminated, because the glow may look different from a printed brand reference.

Plain white acrylic

A white face gives a clean, bright illuminated letter. It is useful for simple wordmarks and for signs where white lettering provides strong contrast against the building.

Black and white day/night faces

A day/night face is designed to look dark during the day and light up white at night. It gives you an alternative when a black daytime wordmark would otherwise lose its readable face after dark. Ask to see the lit effect alongside the daytime finish.

Printed vinyl on white acrylic

Printed translucent vinyl allows graphics or multiple colors on the face. The original example includes 3M printed vinyl. The print, film and acrylic work together, so we review the illuminated color as well as the daytime artwork.

Bring your brand colors or Pantone references. We help select the closest suitable face and return finishes, with samples or proofs to approve how the sign will look in both conditions.

How Your Channel Letters Are Built

Each letter is a separate three-dimensional body. Aluminum backs and sides, called returns, form the structure. A typical front-lit letter has an acrylic face, LED modules inside and wiring connected to a power supply. With direct mounting, the wall shows through between the letters.

Common construction uses aluminum returns around .040 to .063 inch thick and letter bodies about 3 to 5 inches deep. Depth, face material and the back arrangement can change for a halo-lit or specialty sign. We confirm those details on the drawing for your job.

The LEDs sit inside the letter body, while the face and return finishes carry the brand’s appearance. A clear back can let light reach the wall for a halo effect. Outdoor construction also needs appropriate wiring pass-throughs, sealing and drainage, as shown in the lighting diagram.

From artwork to finished sign

  1. Approve the design: confirm the wording, logo, size, lighting, colors and mounting position.
  2. Make the letter bodies: cut the backs and form the returns to the approved shapes.
  3. Prepare the faces: cut the acrylic or metal and apply the selected face treatment.
  4. Fit and check the lighting: position the LED modules, route the wiring and test the illuminated effect.
  5. Prepare for installation: match the letters, mounting hardware and layout template to the agreed installation.

Keep the final drawing and component information with your building records. They make future service and replacement work easier to match to the original sign.

Choose Letter Size for the Distance People Will See It

A sign read from a sidewalk needs a different scale from one seen across a parking lot or from a busy road. Start with the distance between your sign and the people you want to reach. Then check the available sign area and the size the property allows.

Our chart uses about 10 feet of viewing distance for each inch of letter height as a starting point for impact. That puts a 12-inch letter at about 120 feet and a 24-inch letter at about 240 feet. Those are planning examples, not guarantees: thin strokes, decorative lettering, poor contrast and an angled view can make the same letters harder to read.

Send a wide photo from the actual approach. We can review letter height, spacing and logo proportions together. Read more in our channel-letter size guide.

Starting points from the Titans visibility chart
Letter height Distance for impact Maximum readable distance
3 inches About 30 feet 100 feet
6 inches About 60 feet 200 feet
9 inches About 90 feet 400 feet
12 inches About 120 feet 525 feet
15 inches About 150 feet 630 feet
18 inches About 180 feet 750 feet
24 inches About 240 feet 1,000 feet
30 inches About 300 feet 1,250 feet
36 inches About 360 feet 1,500 feet

The chart’s longer maximum distances assume favorable conditions and simple uppercase lettering. For a moving driver, quick recognition matters more than being able to work out the name from the farthest possible point. The International Sign Association’s placement guidance also explains how traffic, letter style and viewing conditions change the size needed.

Direct Mounting, a Raceway or Stand-Offs?

Letters mounted directly to the wall

Individual letters attach to the building, with the wiring route planned behind them. This lets the wall remain visible between the letters and keeps a separate mounting enclosure out of the finished view. The wall material and access behind it affect the installation.

Letters mounted on a raceway

A raceway is an enclosure behind the letters that carries wiring and can house the power supply. It lets the sign mount as an assembly through a planned set of fixing points. Some landlords prefer or require it, especially where they want a consistent sign system for tenants.

The raceway can be finished to suit the wall, but it remains a visible part of the sign. Check the landlord’s criteria before choosing direct mounting or a raceway; one method is not required at every property.

Stand-offs for halo lighting

Reverse-lit letters need a gap behind them so the LEDs can shine onto the wall. Studs and stand-offs set that spacing while securing the letters. The right distance depends on the desired glow, the wall and the approved mounting details.

What the raceway diagram shows

The main building-power connection feeds the power supply. Secondary wires run to the LEDs through planned pass-throughs. Mounting holes and the hanger bar support the assembly, while drainage holes help water leave the enclosure.

The pictured 6-inch by 5-inch enclosure and 2-inch hanger bar are example dimensions. Your installation drawing specifies the raceway size, fixing method and electrical arrangement for your sign.

For a replacement sign, include photos of the old fixing and wiring points and tell us whether removal or wall restoration is needed. Our channel-letter installation guide explains the details to gather.

Why Some LED Signs Are Hard to Install

A clean-looking sign still needs a practical wiring route. Separate letters may need several connection paths; a solid wall, a finished ceiling or another occupied room behind the sign can limit where those wires go. A suitable backer or raceway can help organize the connections, but its power feed and future service access still need a plan.

Thin logo strokes also leave less space for LEDs and wiring. The dimensions in the graphic illustrate one construction; the actual module, letter depth and usable cavity determine what fits. Send photos of both sides of the wall, any ceiling access and the known power location with your artwork.

Read the full guide to LED sign wiring, wall access and installation requirements for the options to review before fabrication.

What Goes Into a Channel Letter Sign

Each letter in a channel letter set is its own fully enclosed unit. An aluminum return, usually .040 to .063 gauge and bent 3 to 5 inches deep, forms the body of the letter. A trim cap in your brand color wraps the seam between that return and the acrylic face, and inside the shell sits a run of low-voltage LED modules wired back to a UL-listed power supply. Everything is solid-state LED; there is no gas-filled tubing in any part of the build. For a strip like Sunset Drive, where storefronts sit close together and read as one continuous facade, the crisp edge and even glow of a properly built letter is what separates a sign that looks professional from one that looks like an afterthought.

Because the letters mount as individual pieces rather than on a solid panel, the storefront’s own material : stucco, tile, stone veneer : shows through between them, and the sign reads as part of the building instead of a box bolted onto it. That is the standard most tenants in this corridor’s retail plazas are matching against, and it is why channel letter signs remain the most requested exterior sign type for small commercial storefronts here.

Choosing How the Letters Light Up

Front-lit letters use a translucent acrylic face that glows as a solid, bright color : the look most family restaurants and retail tenants along Sunset Drive want, because it competes well against a busy strip of neighboring signs. Halo-lit letters flip that: an opaque face blocks the light, which instead spills out behind the letter and washes the wall in a soft ring of glow, giving a quieter, more clinical look that medical and professional offices in the area tend to prefer. Some tenants split the difference with a lit face plus a halo behind it. If you are not sure which suits your space, our comparison of front-lit versus halo-lit channel letters lays out the tradeoffs, and the halo-lit channel letter page shows real examples of the reverse-lit effect.

Permitting Runs Straight Through Miami-Dade County

Sunset has no city hall of its own : it is unincorporated Miami-Dade, tucked between Kendall, Sweetwater, and Coral Gables, which means every sign permit for a business here is reviewed directly by Miami-Dade County rather than a local municipality. There is no extra layer of city sign code to navigate, but the county’s own review is thorough: plan submission, structural calculations, a permit, and a post-installation inspection before the sign can legally operate. Skipping that process is a common way for a plaza tenant to end up with a sign they have to modify or remove after the fact.

Miami-Dade County sits entirely inside the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone, and that applies to Sunset the same as it does to Kendall or Coral Gables. Any exterior electrified sign has to be engineered with signed and sealed wind-load calculations that account for HVHZ design pressures, not the lighter standard used in most of the rest of the country. We handle design, structural engineering, the Miami-Dade permit package, UL-listed fabrication, and installation as one continuous job in our own shop, so nothing gets lost in a handoff between a design vendor and a separate installer.

Mounting on Sunset Drive’s Plaza Storefronts

Most of the commercial space along Sunset Drive and SW 72nd Street is small-bay retail inside shared plazas, which means your landlord’s rules matter as much as the county’s. Flush-mounted letters attach directly to the storefront wall with wiring run behind them for the cleanest look on an open facade. Plaza landlords more often specify a raceway : a low-profile aluminum enclosure that holds the letters and conceals every power supply and wire run behind one controlled set of wall penetrations : because it is easier to patch and re-lease when a tenant’s term ends. Halo-lit letters are typically set on studs that hold them a fixed distance off the wall so the light can spread evenly behind them. We confirm the mounting method against your lease and the building before anything is fabricated; our guide to channel letter installation requirements covers the differences in more depth.

Visibility From SW 72nd Street to the Parking Lot

A sign on this corridor has to work at two completely different distances. From the travel lanes of Sunset Drive, a letter set needs enough height and a bold enough lighting style to register in the half-second a driver has before the next plaza entrance. From the sidewalk in front of your own door, the same sign needs a clean edge and accurate color so it looks intentional, not oversized. We size letters against your specific frontage and setback rather than guessing, and our page on choosing the right size for channel letters walks through how viewing distance drives that decision.

Color accuracy carries real weight in a plaza where five or six businesses share one visual frontage : your sign is often judged next to your neighbors’ signs in the same glance. We build faces and returns to match your logo’s exact color specification, including Pantone references, so the version glowing over your door at night is the same color as your menu, your invoices, and your storefront window graphics.LED service life depends on the specified components, operating conditions and maintenance.

What Fits Sunset’s Mix of Businesses

The stretch of Sunset Drive running through this community carries an unusually even split of business types, and each one tends toward a different look. Family restaurants and casual dining spots generally want bright front-lit letters that read as inviting and easy to spot from the road. Medical and dental offices, along with the professional and financial services scattered through the same plazas, more often choose halo-lit letters in a subdued metal finish, since the softer glow reads as established rather than promotional. Neighborhood retail tenants tend to fall somewhere between the two, picking whichever style makes them stand out against the storefronts on either side.

Many of the same offices also want their brand carried inside the building, and that is a natural extension of the same project. A lit reception-area logo pairs well with our office lobby signs and non-illuminated metal logo signs, giving a practice or firm the same identity from the parking lot to the front desk. For a tenant who wants dimensional branding without full illumination, our custom acrylic signs and the broader illuminated business sign lineup cover the range between a fully lit facade set and a smaller interior accent piece.

Budget and Timeline for a Sunset Storefront

Many storefront signs start around $2,000 to $5,000; this is not a fixed installed price, and the project quote depends on size, letter count, lighting, mounting, site work and installation. Indoor lobby letters typically cost less, since there is no exterior HVHZ engineering or Miami-Dade permit review involved. A larger facade package, a complex multi-color logo, or a sign that needs additional structural work on an older plaza building will run above that range. The real number depends on letter count, size, lighting style, mounting hardware, and how much the county’s review requires for your specific building : which is why we quote against your actual frontage rather than a flat rate.

Timeline runs on a similar rhythm across most of west Miami-Dade: design and proof approval, engineering and permit submission to the county, fabrication in our shop, and a scheduled install once the permit clears. Because Sunset falls under the county’s direct jurisdiction rather than a separate city process, there is one review track to plan around instead of two, which tends to keep the schedule more predictable than in cities that layer their own design-review board on top of the county’s requirements.

Weather, Wear, and Long-Term Upkeep

Sunset sits far enough inland that salt spray is less of a concern here than it is closer to Biscayne Bay, but the sign still faces the same relentless sun, summer humidity, and daily thunderstorm cycle as anywhere else in the county. Aluminum returns and stainless fasteners hold up far better over a decade than the painted steel and lower-grade hardware sometimes used in bargain sign builds, and a properly sealed letter keeps moisture out of the wiring compartment, which is usually what shortens a power supply’s life before anything else does. Because Sunset Drive carries steady daytime traffic feeding its plazas, road dust and exhaust film build up on sign faces faster than they would on a quieter street, so an occasional wipe-down keeps the acrylic reading true instead of dull.

Maintenance on a modern LED set is minimal by design. There is no ballast to fail and no tube to swap, so most service calls years down the road involve a single module or driver rather than a full relamping. If a plaza gets repainted or a tenant updates their logo mid-lease, our sign maintenance service can retrofit faces or refresh a raceway without tearing down the whole set. That kind of ongoing support matters more for a leased storefront than an owned building, since a tenant generally wants the sign looking sharp for the full term of the lease without having to track down a new vendor partway through.

One Shop, From Doral to Sunset Drive

Titans of Print designs, engineers, permits, fabricates, and installs every sign we sell, all from our own shop in Doral. We serve Miami-Dade, Broward, and Palm Beach directly, and ship UL-listed signs nationwide with installer coordination for businesses opening locations outside South Florida. Every photo in our gallery is a sign we actually built and hung, not stock photography. For a business setting up along Sunset Drive or SW 72nd Street, that means the crew engineering your wind-load calculations and pulling your Miami-Dade permit is the same crew that shows up to install the sign and stands behind it afterward.

Property Approval, Permits and Installation

Confirm the current landlord or property sign criteria before approving the design. They may cover the location, overall size, colors, lighting or mounting method. The applicable permit and engineering requirements depend on the actual address and project.

Titans handles or significantly assists with permitting where required and coordinates survey and engineering needs. Send the written property criteria and the site address so the approval path can be checked. A finished photo is not a substitute for a reviewed mounting plan.

Our business-sign permit guide explains the questions to ask before production. For the local rules, see the Miami-Dade County sign permit guide.

Allow time for approvals and site work

Permits add approximately 4 to 8 weeks where required, separate from roughly 3 to 4 weeks or longer for production. Landlord review, engineering, comments and access scheduling can also affect the installation date. Share your opening date early.

A qualified electrician performs electrical work. We coordinate the signage requirements and installation handoff so power location, switching, connection and responsibilities are agreed. Photographs should show the building height, canopy, landscaping, access-equipment space and occupied entrances.

Watch Channel Letters Being Made

See how channel letters take shape in the shop. The fabrication video shows the product behind the finished sign, with a real sign preview before you press play.

When sharing a reference, say what you like about it: the face color, letter depth, lighting effect, mounting or overall proportions. That is more useful than asking for a sign “just like the photo” on a wall with different conditions.

How Much Do Channel Letter Signs Cost?

$2,000 to $5,000 is a useful starting budget for many storefront channel-letter signs. It is not a fixed price: the size and number of letters make a big difference. A longer name needs more letters, and taller letters need more material and lighting. Larger building signs can go above that range.

For a rough letter estimate, you can use $20 to $30 per inch of letter height, per letter. Add the letter heights together, then multiply by that range. Logos, unusual shapes and specialty lighting need their own estimate.

A simple budgeting example

Ten letters, each 12 inches tall, total 120 inches of letter height. At $20 to $30 per inch, that gives an estimated $2,400 to $3,600 for the letter calculation.

The same ten letters at 18 inches total 180 inches, giving $3,600 to $5,400. That is why increasing the height can move a sign beyond an initial $2,000 to $5,000 budget.

These examples help you compare sizes. They are not a complete installed quote. Confirm the logo, lighting, mounting, installation, electrical work, permits and engineering scope before relying on a total.

What else affects the price?

  • The length of the business name and the complexity of its logo.
  • Front-lit, halo-lit or combined lighting.
  • Acrylic face treatments, metal finishes and letter depth.
  • Direct mounting, a raceway or a separate backing panel.
  • Sign-removal work, wall repairs and access equipment.
  • Electrical connection, engineering and permitting needs.
  • Quantity, delivery and installation locations.

Production and permit timing

Allow roughly 3 to 4 weeks or longer for production, depending on the approved design, materials and quantity. Permits add another 4 to 8 weeks. We confirm the sequence and installation date for your job so the production estimate is not mistaken for the whole project schedule.

Titans serves Miami-Dade, Broward and Palm Beach and ships signs nationwide. Installation outside South Florida is quoted for the project, with travel or installer coordination as needed.

What to Send for Your Quote

Logo, dimensions and colors

Send the largest available logo file, preferably vector artwork, plus brand colors and approved wording. Include the width and height of the available sign area and a straight-on wall photograph. Tell us the intended viewing distance and whether the sign faces a sidewalk, parking area or road.

Do not use a phone screenshot as the only production reference if a vector master exists. Fine artwork details, outlines and spacing need to remain clear when the sign is fabricated. If the logo needs adaptation, approve that change before production.

The lighting brief

State whether you want a glowing face, a halo, or both. Describe the intended light color and which logo elements should illuminate. Include the wall finish and any existing nighttime lighting near the sign so the proof can be discussed in context.

Address and installation details

Include the exact address, mounting surface, sign height, quantity, target opening date and known property restrictions. Identify who approves the artwork, who provides landlord approval, and who handles the electrical connection.

For a multi-location order, list the measurements and conditions separately for each address. Consistent brand artwork does not make every installation identical. The production specification and logistics should reflect the actual locations.

Review before fabrication

Check spelling, proportions, face and return colors, lighting treatment, dimensions and mounting on the proof. Confirm the current logo version and final approver. Keeping those decisions in one approved drawing reduces ambiguity when the fabrication and installation teams work from it.

Looking After Your Finished Sign

LED channel letters give you an illuminated sign without the glass tubing used in traditional neon. The modules and power supply are selected for the build, and their service needs depend on the components, operating hours and location.

At handover, check the sign in daylight and after dark from the agreed viewing position. Keep the approved drawing, finish references and component information so future maintenance or replacement letters can match the original.

Follow the cleaning advice for the acrylic, vinyl and metal finishes on your sign. Ask about maintenance access and the warranty terms for your build when reviewing the quote.

If a letter or section stops lighting, send photos showing what is affected. The sign-service team and the appropriate qualified trade can review the lighting, connection and access needed for the repair.

Channel Letter Questions

How much do channel letters cost?

Many storefront signs start around $2,000 to $5,000, depending on size and letter count. A rough letter estimate is $20 to $30 per inch of letter height, per letter. Logos, lighting, mounting, installation, electrical work, permits and engineering need to be confirmed in the actual quote.

How long do production and permits take?

Allow roughly 3 to 4 weeks or longer for production, depending on the approved design, materials and quantity. Permits add approximately 4 to 8 weeks where required. Property approval, review comments, engineering and site access can affect the final installation date.

What affects the price of channel letters in Sunset area?

Many storefront signs start around $2,000 to $5,000, but that is not a fixed price. A rough estimate uses $20 to $30 per inch of letter height, per letter. Longer names, taller letters, lighting choice, mounting, access, electrical work, permits, and installation affect the final quote. A final quote follows review of the actual facade, approved drawing, and site scope.

How long will a Sunset area channel-letter project take?

Allow about 3 to 4 weeks or longer for production after approval. Permits, when required, can add 4 to 8 weeks, and landlord review, engineering, access, and electrical coordination can affect the date. Send the address and opening target so the project sequence can be reviewed. The property review schedule is confirmed separately for each address and project.

Can Titans install channel letters at my Sunset area address?

Titans handles local installation across South Florida, with scope confirmed for the project address. Outside the local area, shipping is available nationwide and installation is quoted individually. Send the facade, location, access details, and property criteria. A qualified electrician performs electrical work. The quote states whether delivery, travel, or installer coordination is included. for this specific project and destination.

Who permits signs for businesses in Sunset, since it isn't its own city?

The sign and mounting need to be reviewed for the actual address, building and current property criteria. Outdoor wind-load, structural and permit requirements must be included where applicable. Send the property guidelines and building photos before production; a finished-sign photo does not establish approval for another location.

Does an LED channel letter sign in Sunset need to meet hurricane wind standards?

The sign and mounting need to be reviewed for the actual address, building and current property criteria. Outdoor wind-load, structural and permit requirements must be included where applicable. Send the property guidelines and building photos before production; a finished-sign photo does not establish approval for another location.

What's the difference between front-lit and halo-lit channel letters?

Front-lit letters have a glowing acrylic face for maximum brightness, which suits retail and restaurant storefronts. Halo-lit letters use an opaque face that throws light backward onto the wall for a softer, more understated look, which many medical and professional offices prefer.

My storefront is in a shared plaza. How will the sign be attached?

Most plaza landlords along Sunset Drive require a raceway mount, where an aluminum enclosure carries the letters and hides the wiring behind one controlled set of wall penetrations. We confirm the required mounting method with your lease before fabrication begins.

Can I use LED channel letters inside my office or waiting room?

Yes. Illuminated lettering can identify a business inside an office, reception area or showroom. Give the interior location its own dimensions, wall photos, power details and viewing distance. Interior attachment, electrical and property requirements still need review; an indoor location is not an automatic exemption from approval requirements.

Will the sign match my logo's exact brand color?

Send the approved master logo and color references. We compare acrylic face treatments, vinyl and return finishes against the artwork. Check both the daytime face and illuminated sample before approval, because the same face can look different when lit. The drawing should identify the selected materials and lighting effect.

If I could rate it 10 out of 5 stars I would. I had a client who needed prints the same day. Only problem was I was a thousand miles away. I called Titans of Print and they had my project in the works almost instantly and coordinated the courier to get my client what she needed before the end of the day. Great printer & helped me out in a pinch. Highly recommend!

I had an excellent experience working with this printing business. From the moment I reached out, the communication was clear, professional, and genuinely friendly. They took the time to understand exactly what I needed and offered helpful suggestions to make the final product even better. The turnaround time was impressive, and the quality of the prints exceeded my expectations—clean, vibrant, and professionally finished. What really sets this business apart is the level of care and pride they put into their work. You can tell they’re passionate about delivering results their clients can be proud of. If you’re looking for reliable service, fair pricing, and top-notch print quality, I highly recommend supporting this business. I’ll definitely be coming back for future projects.

I needed a custom printed feather flag asap, and Titans of Print was the only place that accepted my job. I called at least 10 other print shops in the area and no one was even willing to entertain the idea of my job due to the quick turn around. Not only did they deliver but I made it even harder on them by adding a custom printed table cloth and they were still able to deliver both items on time and of high quality. Customer service was top notch. They were very patient with me and my request, super helpful and genuinely kind. I’m very grateful to have found them and will 100% use them again.

We used Titans of Print for a pic panel on our Modani Miami parking gate and it looks amazing. The whole process was smooth, the price point was more than fair, and the team was great to work with. Very nice experience overall — highly recommended!
