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.
