Channel letters give your brand a three-dimensional, illuminated presence on any façade. In our Istanbul workshop we manufacture stainless steel, gold, acrylic and aluminium channel letters in every lighting option – for sign companies, agencies and brands worldwide.
What are channel letters?
A channel letter consists of a face (metal or acrylic) and a return – the side band that gives the letter its depth. Because the letter is hollow, LED modules can be fitted inside to light it from the front, from the back (halo-lit) or both.
Channel letter types
- Stainless steel / mirror chrome letters
- Gold mirror and brushed gold letters
- Acrylic channel letters
- Front-lit and halo-lit illuminated letters
- Aluminium channel letters
- Trimless letters with thin metal trim

Are your letters suitable for outdoor use?
Yes. Stainless steel, aluminium and UV-resistant acrylic letters with outdoor-rated LEDs are built for façades.
