acrylic aluminium channel letters

When creating channel letters, the choice of panel material is critical and has a direct impact on the appearance, durability and cost of the letters. So exactly what kind of material should you choose that will fit your signage while also fitting your budget?   Let's take a look at these materials to see which type of channel letters they are suitable for.   As we mentioned in the previous blog, there are two types of channel letters, frontlit channel letter signage and backlit or halolit signage, when you consider the panel material, your channel letters must be front illuminated, otherwise you don't need to consider panel illumination as a factor.     1. Front-illuminated panel material must have light transmission, so we do not need to consider metal materials such as stainless steel or aluminum, these materials do not have light transmission and can only be used to do the shell of the channel letters. We can continue to explore the materials for the housing in subsequent articles.   So what are the materials that are light transmissive?  The preferred material must be acrylic, which is currently one of the most popular materials in the advertising signage market because it has excellent transparency and weather resistance, and there are many options for the thickness of acrylic sheets, which can be easily made into a variety of shapes and sizes and can withstand a variety of environmental conditions. Acrylic sheets are available in a variety of colors, such as blue, yellow, and red, which are the most basic colors, but if you want special customized colors, some suppliers choose to print colors on the surface of the acrylic sheets to meet the customer's customized needs.   2. How to choose the material for the backlit channel letters? Acrylic is of course the best choice, or there is a more budget-saving way: the channel letters made into a hollow, led strip light affixed to the inner wall of each letter, of course, the operation of the led strip light requirements are very high, need to reach the level of completely waterproof. On the back of the letters using a length of 10 centimeters of screws mounted on the wall, to achieve the effect of the letters hanging, only so that the channel letters are lit at night to achieve the effect of backlight or halo.   These ideas and suggestions are all based on appearance, durability, cost and the requirements of the particular application, but of course there are better ways of doing things, whatever the method, a choice that ensures that the letters look good, are long lasting and are adapted to the environment in which they will be used is the right choice, and if you have any other ideas on choosing the material for your channel letter panels then you can browse through our website: www.satinsign.com to get them!

0.91 inchs!!!   Why we can make letters with such thin strokes？ In the realm of commercial advertising, Channel Letters are a common sight, yet there are often misunderstandings surrounding this term. Channel Letters are a prevalent type of commercial signage, typically found in storefronts, restaurants, hotels, and similar establishments. Constructed from metal and covered with colored acrylic faces, they utilize a 'channel' on the back to house LED light strips or other light sources, creating clear letters and designs.     While many may use the term "Channel Letters" to refer to all types of illuminated signs, Channel Letters specifically refer to Trim Cap Letters. Trim Cap Letters boast the narrowest stroke width of 3 centimeters, and while other suppliers may claim to produce thinner letters, the quality of their illumination may be compromised. Therefore, 3 centimeters is the optimal size for Trim Cap Letters. When producing different types of illuminated led letter signs, each type has its unique stroke thickness, and SatinSign will personalize their selection based on the design of the logo. This is because every logo has its distinctive features and design requirements, and suppliers need to determine the most suitable stroke thickness based on the shape, font, and overall style of the logo to ensure the best illumination effect. For example, some logos may feature intricate lines and curves, requiring a delicate and precise illumination effect to accurately showcase their design details. In such cases, SatinSign may opt for thinner strokes to ensure that the light source can perfectly pass through subtle curves and edges, presenting a clear and fluid illumination effect. Conversely, for some simple and rugged logos, thicker strokes may be necessary to emphasize their outlines and overall shape, achieving a more prominent and striking effect.   When creating illuminated signs, SatinSign typically collaborate closely with clients to understand their logo design requirements and desired effects. We will carefully select the most appropriate stroke thickness based on the client's needs and guidance, combined with their expertise and experience, to ensure that the final illumination effect perfectly reflects the visual effect expected by the client. Trim Cap Letters, as true Channel Letters, possess unique advantages and limitations, and understanding the optimal size for their production can guide businesses in making informed decisions.
