Channel Letter Signs

If you are looking for a way to make your business stand out from the crowd, you need a channel letter sign from Tupp Signs. Channel letter signs, also known as dimensional letters or 3D letters, are signs that have individual letters or symbols that are illuminated from within. They can be front-lit, back-lit, or halo-lit, and can be mounted on a wall, a raceway, or a canopy. Channel letter signs can be made of various materials, such as metal, plastic, wood, or glass.

Why choose channel letter signs for your business?

Channel letter signs are one of the most popular types of signs for businesses of all sizes and industries. Here are some of the benefits of choosing channel letter signs for your business:

  • Visibility: Channel letter signs can be seen from a long distance, especially if they are illuminated. They can also be customized to fit any shape and size, making them eye-catching and noticeable. Whether you need a small or a large channel letter sign, we can create it for you.
  • Durability: Channel letter signs are made of high-quality materials, such as aluminum, steel, or acrylic, that can withstand harsh weather conditions and vandalism. They are also easy to maintain and repair, as they have removable faces that can be replaced or updated as needed.
  • Versatility: Channel letter signs can be used for indoor or outdoor purposes, and can display any type of graphics, logos, or text. They can also be combined with other types of signs, such as cabinet signs or digital displays, to create a unique and eye-catching sign system.
  • Cost-effectiveness: Channel letter signs are one of the most affordable types of signs, as they have a low initial cost and a long lifespan. They are also energy-efficient, as they use LED or neon lighting that consumes less power and lasts longer than traditional bulbs.

 

What are the types of channel letter signs?

At Tupp Signs, we offer a variety of channel letter signs to suit your needs and preferences. Here are some of the types of channel letter signs we offer:

  • Front-lit channel letter signs: These are channel letter signs that have a translucent face that allows the light to shine through. They can have different colors and effects, such as dimming, flashing, or changing. Front-lit channel letter signs are ideal for businesses that want to have a bright and colorful sign, such as restaurants, bars, or salons.
  • Back-lit channel letter signs: These are channel letter signs that have an opaque face that blocks the light from the front, but allows it to shine through the back. They create a halo effect around the letters, and can have different colors and effects, such as dimming, flashing, or changing. Back-lit channel letter signs are ideal for businesses that want to have a dramatic and elegant sign, such as spas, theaters, or casinos.
  • Halo-lit channel letter signs: These are channel letter signs that have a combination of front-lit and back-lit features. They have a translucent face that allows the light to shine through the front, and an opaque back that allows the light to shine through the sides. They create a dual illumination effect, and can have different colors and effects, such as dimming, flashing, or changing. Halo-lit channel letter signs are ideal for businesses that want to have a modern and sophisticated sign, such as hotels, malls, or airports.
  • Non-lit channel letter signs: These are channel letter signs that do not have any lighting, but rely on the natural or artificial light to create contrast and visibility. They can have different finishes and textures, such as matte, glossy, or metallic. Non-lit channel letter signs are ideal for businesses that want to have a simple and classic sign, such as banks, hospitals, or law firms.

What Mounting Options Are Available?

Aside from lighting options, you can also decide how the channel letting is mounted. The choice will effect the shadowing and appearance of the sign.

Here are some mounting options:

  • Raceway Mount – you will see many property management businesses using this kind of mounting, where channel lettering is installed on a raceway, or metal strip that hides the wiring and power supply of the letters. The advantage of the raceway mount is that you can reduce the number of holes in the wall that are usually required from installation. The metal strip is usually painted to match the color of the building or the coloring of the logo.
  • Direct or Flush Mount – if you want character, then the flush mount is correct for you. With a direct mounting, the channel letters get attached to the facade of the building with non-corrosive fasteners. Flush mount does require that the power source and electrical wiring be housed behind the wall, so it’s not always the most favorable option for rented properties.
  • Backer Mount – similar to raceway mounting, but instead of using a metal box behind the letters, the backer panel, or the metal cabinet, is made larger than the span of the letters. The power supply and wires are hidden either in the backer panel or behind the wall that the panel is connected to.

 

Channel Lettering Considerations

Before you decide to spend your money on channel lettering, you should check to see what is required, particularly if you are renting the lot. Be sure to read through your lease to see if channel lettering signage is allowed to be placed on the storefront. Also, be aware of the local zoning. Some locations have sign ordinances.

You should also never cut corners when it comes to signage. Although a high upfront cost might seem exorbitant right now, understand that the manufacturing and installation of quality goods has a greater return of investment, because you have to worry less about durability. Choose the option that fits into your budget without sacrificing too much quality. Remember, it’s less expensive to buy signage one time and use preventative maintenance to keep that sign than to frequently have to replace a sign.

In short, channel letters are individually created signs that can be used to spell out words, such as the name of your business, to create a unique and attention-grabbing sign. There are different mounting and lighting options, as well. The only limit to what channel lettering can do is your creativity.
