Front-lit, halo-lit & raceway channel letters

Every letter set is custom cut to your brand artwork. These are the four builds we quote most.

Front-Lit Channel Letters

Front-Lit Channel Letters

Front-lit channel letters are the storefront standard: aluminum returns, acrylic faces, and LED modules that push your brand colors into the night. We cut every set from your actual artwork, so the letterforms, spacing, and logo marks land exactly as your brand guide draws them. Faces are matched with translucent vinyl or pigmented acrylic to hold color day and night, and the LED systems we install sip power compared to the fluorescent sets they replace.

Big Lots, Crumbl, and Five Below trust this exact build from our shop, and the same fabrication line runs your letters whether you are one storefront or a forty-location rollout. Every set ships or installs with a wiring diagram, a mounting pattern, and UL-listed components your inspector will not argue with.

Halo-Lit Channel Letters

Halo-Lit Channel Letters

Halo-lit channel letters, also called reverse channel letters, light backwards: the LED glow washes the wall behind each letter and floats your name in a ring of light. It is the premium look for offices, hospitality, medical, and any brand that wants presence without glare. We control the halo by tuning the standoff distance and the wall finish behind the letters, which is the difference between a crisp corona and a blurry smudge.

Halo letters demand tighter fabrication than face-lit sets because the letter body IS the finished product: no face to hide behind. Ours are welded aluminum, finished in any color, and sealed against weather, with serviceable LED modules that swap without pulling letters off the wall.

Raceway & Direct-Mount Letters

Raceway & Direct-Mount Letters

Many landlords and property managers require raceway channel letters: the letter set mounts to a single painted raceway that carries all wiring, so the building gets two penetrations instead of forty. We build raceways matched to your fascia color so they disappear, and we handle the landlord criteria paperwork most tenants have never seen before their lease made them responsible for it.

Where direct mount is allowed, we template the wall, drill to the pattern, and wire through the fascia for the cleanest possible look. Either way you get engineered mounting, sealed penetrations, and photos of the finished install for your landlord file.

Wholesale Channel Letters for the Trade

Wholesale Channel Letters for the Trade

Sign companies: we build wholesale channel letters to your spec and ship them crated, patterned, and ready to hang. Send a vector file and dimensions, and get back a finished set with mounting pattern, wiring diagram, and UL components, at trade pricing that leaves room for your margin. No retail contact with your customer, ever.

Our shop runs front-lit, halo, and raceway sets in all standard depths, and our crating survives the freight companies you and we both know too well. If your letter bender retired or your backlog is drowning you, we are the overflow shop that hits your dates.

Good Questions

Channel Letters FAQ

How much do channel letter signs cost?
Most storefront channel letter sets run $4,000 to $15,000 installed, driven by letter height, letter count, illumination style, and mounting. Wholesale trade sets price lower since you handle the install. Every quote is a fixed written number.
What is the difference between front-lit and halo-lit channel letters?
Front-lit letters glow through acrylic faces for maximum readability. Halo-lit letters are opaque and glow backwards against the wall for a floating, premium look. We build both, and combo sets that do each at once.
My landlord requires a raceway. What is that?
A raceway is a single mounting box that carries all the wiring, so the building gets minimal penetrations. We build raceways color-matched to your fascia and handle landlord sign criteria paperwork for you.
How long do channel letters take?
Typically 3 to 6 weeks from approved artwork to install day, including permits. Shipped wholesale sets usually run 2 to 3 weeks from approved spec.
Do you sell wholesale channel letters to other sign companies?
Yes. Trade pricing, your spec, crated freight anywhere in the U.S. with mounting pattern and wiring diagram included, and zero contact with your end customer.
