Channel letter types explained: face-lit, halo-lit, combination and non-illuminated
How each family of channel letters handles light, where it works best, and which of our 11 production profiles matches it.
Acrylic & vacuum-formed letters
Solid 30 or 40 mm acrylic letters with painted sides and five lighting options.
