CHANNEL LETTERS SIGNS

How dimensional sign letters are made

When referring to channel letters Signage, we mean letters that have a three-dimensional entity.
Unlike simple print of two (2) dimensions are flat and the materials used are: patch, metal, PVC, Plexiglas etc.
The signs with channel letters embossed in the international terminology consisting of metal letters from galvanized sheet or aluminum which are cut in machines and laser welded profile face, thus creating the channel letter.
There are other materials that can be fabricated letters as Plexiglas, wood, PVC, inox or combination of metal with Plexiglas.
On channel letters signs, the letters can be illuminated or unlit. The bright letters can be illuminated on the face - metalplastic letters facing Plexiglas - or illuminated backlit backlighting creating around the 3D program a halo which gives special feeling when lit.
Embossed channel lettering can be made in any size required by the customer and the store or the space will be placed.
The biggest channel letters that our company has built was for the company SATURN and the height dimension was 5 meters.
The channel letters signs, placed on facades or in the most prominent point of the building and represent the enterprise, the object, and the name can be anything the customer wants.
The construction of the letters is a combination of engines and manual labor. The laser machines cut accurately the channel letters and manually stick with solder or special adhesives, to complete the assembly.
The channel letters Signs have a very impressive result and many applications, that anyone can see on our website.

Giving your logo a physical presence

A dimensional letter changes the way a logo is seen. Its depth, shadow and distance from the wall matter even when the sign has no internal lighting. Before settling on dimensions, look at the frontage from the places where customers will approach: the opposite pavement, the entrance and the road. Details that work well on a screen may need a different treatment when they become physical letters.

For a project in Athens, Prisma Art starts the conversation with photographs, approximate dimensions and the appearance you would like to achieve. Compare LED signage for lighting ideas and interior signs for applications viewed at closer range. This makes it easier to discuss the outside and inside of the premises together, without assuming that a construction shown in the gallery will suit a completely different building. The location and access conditions of projects elsewhere in Greece should also be shared at the outset.

Questions about dimensional lettering

Does a channel letter sign have to be illuminated?

No. Dimensional describes the physical depth of the letters. They can be unlit, illuminated through the face or lit from behind.

What effect does backlighting create?

It produces a halo around the letters. The distance from the wall and the surface behind the sign influence how that halo appears.

Can the lettering follow my own logo?

Send the logo file and the available dimensions. Its shapes and details are considered before deciding on materials, depth and fixing method.

How should I choose the letter size?

Consider the reading distance, the position of the sign and the frontage. A gallery example is a reference, not a specification that fits every shop.
