Channel Letter Signs
Why Many Businesses Choose Channel Letter Signs
Channel letter signs are one of the most reliable and recognizable storefront signs used across Washington. They’re easy to read, visible day and night, and give a business a clean, established presence.
At Pop Signs, we design and install custom channel letter signs for Pacific Northwest businesses that want a permanent sign done correctly.
They are engineered, fabricated, and installed as long-term branding assets that perform day and night.
What Are Channel Letters?
Channel letters are individual, three-dimensional letters that spell out your business name on the outside of your building. Each letter is typically made from aluminum and illuminated with LED lighting.
Because the letters are built individually, they stand off the wall and are much easier to see than flat signs, especially from the street or at night.
This is why channel letters are commonly used for retail stores, restaurants, and professional businesses.
Why Cabinet Signs Are Often Chosen Over Other Sign Types
What Does “On a Raceway” Mean?
A raceway is a single metal housing that sits behind the letters and contains all wiring and mounting points.
Mounting channel letters on a raceway:
- Reduces the number of holes drilled into your building
- Keeps wiring contained and protected
- Makes future sign removal or replacement simpler
For these reasons, raceway-mounted channel letters are often preferred by landlords and property managers. We typically paint the raceway to match the building so it blends in rather than standing out.
Why Channel Letters Are So Effective
Channel letter signs work because they balance visibility and professionalism.
They are:
- Easy to read from a distance
- Clearly visible at night
- Durable in Pacific Northwest weather
- Custom-built to fit your storefront
Compared to cabinet signs, channel letters look more refined. Compared to flat signs or banners, they are far more visible and long-lasting.
For many businesses, channel letters are the best long-term exterior sign solution.
