If you\u2019re looking into signage for your business, you\u2019re likely hoping to find something that will make your brand or company stand out.\u00a0<\/p>\n

One of the most popular options when it comes to eye-catching signage is channel letters.\u00a0<\/p>\n

These are 3D signs made of metal or plastic that can be customized to fit the color, font, and size that you need (and the channel \u201cletters\u201d don\u2019t only mean lettering, but numbers and symbols, too).<\/p>\n

What makes them most companies\u2019 top choice is that they can be lit, helping your business capture people\u2019s attention no matter the time of day while giving off a professional look.\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

But what are the different types of channel letter signage? And which one\u00a0is best for your business?\u00a0<\/p>\n

We\u2019ve got the answers.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Front-Lit Channel Letters<\/h2>\n

Front-lit, or face-illuminated, channel letters<\/a> are the classic standard channel letter option. These are the signs you see most often when passing businesses on the street.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Front-lit channel\u00a0letters are lit from within, so the light shines through the front (or the face) of the acrylic letters. LED\u00a0channel letters are the best option for lighting as the LEDs last a long time and don\u2019t break the bank.\u00a0<\/p>\n

If you go with front-lit channel letters, you\u2019ll have the most options. These can be designed in almost any color or font you might want. The wider the font and bigger the letter, the more visible they\u2019ll be to potential customers.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Back-Lit Channel Letters<\/h2>\n

These are also called halo or reverse channel letters.<\/p>\n

With halo-lit channel letters, the metal lettering is backlit so it looks like the wording is floating. When lit up at night, back-lit signage has lettering that looks black with a bright glow of color around the edges.\u00a0<\/p>\n

If you want your sign to look unique or give off a softer vibe, back-lit channel letters are a great choice. These\u00a0are also customizable with lots of color and size options.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Combination-Lit Channel Letters<\/h2>\n

Do both front-lit and back-lit channel letters sound good to you? Luckily, you can combine the two.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Combination-lit or front\/back-lit channel letters let you use both options to create the perfect signage for your business.<\/p>\n

You might split your wording up so that half is back-lit and the other half is front-lit, or\u00a0create a sign with front-lit words and a back-lit symbol. The options are endless!<\/p>\n

Choose Channel Letters That Outshine All Others\u00a0<\/h2>\n

The main thing to keep in mind when deciding which type of channel letters would be best for your business<\/a> is ensuring your choice aligns with your business\u2019s brand and tone.\u00a0<\/p>\n

But don\u2019t forget to think about the physical building too. Choose whichever option\u00a0looks best on your business\u2019s exterior and decide how you\u2019ll hang the signage (there are options here, like a raceway mount, direct mount, or backer mount) with this in mind too.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Channel letters are popular for a reason. With so many varieties and fun options available, your business is sure to catch everyone\u2019s attention.\u00a0<\/p>\n
