What Are Illuminated Channel Letters?

Illuminated Channel letters are three-dimensional text, usually 3-6 inches deep, that can be customized into a variety of fonts, colours, and sizes. They are often used as a building’s primary outdoor signage, adorning the storefront or haling bypassers out near the road. Because of their depth, channel letters really stand out – literally.

This is especially true of the illuminated versions, which are either front or backlit with LED lights to make them clear and distinct in any visibility.

Illuminated channel letters are usually made from aluminum or stainless steel, and have vinyl facing so light permeates their surface and projects the colour of their facing. Illuminated letters can be used to complement other types of outdoor business signs, like a company logo, or stand alone as a storefront’s primary signage. They can also be used inside, though they are more commonly used on the exterior of buildings to attract customers.
