Channel Letters and Channel Lettering are very popular for lighted business signs. These signs can be used indoor or out as they are durable and weather resistant. World Wide Signs offers a complete range of channel lettering and channel letter signs including type styles and custom logos.

Channel letter signs are among the most popular illuminated business sign products in North America and World Wide Sign Systems, Inc. has been wholesale-manufacturing them since 1958. Through our dedicated division, The Channel Letter Factory in Shawano, Wisconsin, we produce a complete range of channel lettering for sign retailers nationwide: standard front-lit channel lock letters with trim cap, fabricated reverse channel (halo-lit) letters, custom-shape logos, front-and-back-lit combinations, open-channel letters, and trimless face/edge/backlit channel letters. Sizes range from 6 inches to 15 feet, and quantities scale from a single letter set to one hundred sets for chain programs.

Channel letters get their name from the three-dimensional aluminum “channel” that forms the body of each letter. Inside that channel, an LED module array  or in our specialty applications, neon tubing provides the illumination that defines the look. WWSS is one of the few U.S. wholesale sign manufacturers that still offers neon channel letter production for sign companies whose customers want the warm, classic glow that LED simply cannot replicate. For the vast majority of installations, however, our LED-illuminated channel letters deliver the brightness, energy efficiency, color consistency, and long service life that today’s commercial sign market demands.
Letter style options are extensive. Standard channel lock letters with trim cap are the workhorse format a fabricated aluminum return, polycarbonate or acrylic face, and color-matched trim cap that crisps up the perimeter. Fabricated reverse (halo-lit) letters mount off the wall and project a soft halo of light behind the letter for a refined architectural look. Open-channel letters expose the illumination source for high-impact retro and entertainment applications. Trimless letters offer face, edge, and backlit illumination on a single letter for the most distinctive premium identity work. Custom-shape logos are produced from your vector artwork using our up-to-date CNC manufacturing technology.

Channel letters from WWSS are built to perform in the real world durable, weather-resistant, and approved for both indoor and outdoor service. Our illumination systems are Met Lab approved, our LED components are sourced from leading commercial-grade suppliers, and every channel letter is wired and tested before shipment. We support installation flexibility with channel-lock letter backs, raceway-mount configurations, direct-mount patterns, and pre-wired systems that minimize on-site labor for your installation crew.
