OVERVIEW

About channel lettering

Channel letters are three-dimensional letters fabricated from aluminum or acrylic and illuminated from inside with LED or neon lighting. They are the evolution of traditional neon signage, and many grocery chains, restaurants and retailers rely on them because they hold attention day and night and project a professional image.

Each letter and logo element is built individually, which allows anything from 12 inches to many feet in height, with every piece lit on its own. LED has improved dramatically in recent years and is now the most common choice: it uses less power than neon, is considered more environmentally friendly, and in many cases matches or outperforms neon's glow.

FAQ

Channel Lettering FAQ

Still have a question? Call 905-662-1110 or send us your project details.

Is LED or neon better for channel letters?

LED is now the most common choice. It consumes less power than neon, is considered more environmentally friendly, and in many cases can equal or outperform neon illumination. Neon is still available if you want that classic look.

How big can channel letters be?

Because each letter is created individually, channel letters can range from about 12 inches to many feet in height.

Can channel letters match my logo colours?

Yes. Vinyl or digital graphics can be applied to the letter faces to create custom colour combinations and capture fine details from your logo.

Will my sign meet local sign bylaws?

Diffuser films can be applied to help meet municipal code requirements, and we will talk through any local restrictions with you during design.
