Backlit channel letters are a type of channel letters. Light sources, LED by default now, are placed in individual metal or acrylic 3D letter shell and separately internally illuminated. The light shines from the back panel of the letter shell to the backing wall, forming a halo effect, so it is also called halo lit letters or reverse channel letters. The letters, numbers and logo are all can be made as backlit channel letters, with high visible by day and radiant by night, the backlit channel letters provide lasting appeal, strong 3D effect, high brightness and long life time. They are ideal signage for most exterior and interior commercial businesses, whether for advertising or wayfinding, including:
Generally speaking, the height of a letter has a certain proportional relationship with its viewing distance, that is, the viewing distance of a letter is usually 100 to 120 times the height of the letter. For example, if you want your sign to be visible from 100 feet away, the letters need to be at least 10 inches high, or if you want your signage to be visible from 100 meters away, the letters need to be about 100 mm high.
A set of backlit channel letters usually consists of the following parts.
Letter shell/channel is usually made of fabricated metal or CNC engraved acrylic, which has a 3D effect, and the outer surface can be in different finishes according to customer requirements, and the inside is usually painted in white so that for the uniform lighting effect of the backlit channel letters.
Back panel is made of laser cut or CNC engraved acrylic, in order to obtain a certain lighting effect, colored acrylic will be used or vinyl or film will be pasted on the surface of the acrylic.

And bulbs, glass neon lights, etc. can also be used as light sources, but considering the service life, safety, transportation, etc. Basically, the signs made now will only use LEDs as light sources.

We are a sign manufacturer in China.
By default, we use DHL for transportation, and we can also use express companies such as UPS and FEDEX. These express companies can transport goods to many places of the world.
If your local or the lord has some specific requirements for the signage, please send these specific requirements to us. Our signage products have UL certification.
Under normal circumstances, excluding the necessary communication time, the approximate timeline is as follows:
So it takes about 25-30 days total.
If you order a lot of signage, or are close to major holidays, such as China National Day, New Year’s Day, Christmas, and Spring Festival, it may increase.
Each of our quotations has fully taken into account the discounts we can offer. If you only produce 1 set of signs, basically there will be no discounts. Of course, if you order a lot of signs, a dozen sets, dozens of sets, or even hundreds of sets, these can significantly reduce the production cost. Anyway, if you have any question about the price, please contact our salesman, we will try our best to give you the best price.
You can always find a cheaper supplier, but there are usually some reasons for being cheap. We prefer that you consider the quality and service life of the signs. After all, if you have to replace a set of signs in a few months, even if you do not consider the production cost, the installation cost also would be a lot of money to point out. Anyway, if you have any question about the price, please contact our salesman, we will try our best to give you the best price.
We can produce almost all kinds of signs, but because we are a sign maker in China, you have to consider the shipping cost if you buy from us. For many cheap business signs, the production is very convenient, even if most costs in the United States will be higher than that in China, but once the expensive international shipping costs are considered, it is generally cheaper to buy locally in the United States. For such a signage case, we will recommend customers to buy locally. Of course, sourcing from China can be a good option if you’re ordering such a large quantity that international shipping isn’t the main cost, as many American advertising signage companies do.
Our signage products have the UL certification and fully meet the US standards, so there will be no difference in use. Specifically, some of the processes may be different, because different factories will have different equipment, and the process might also be different. In addition, the row material may be different, the biggest difference is the thickness of the material. We are a sign factory in China. In China, the unit of thickness is the metric unit, while the US uses the English unit. For example, the 1/2-inch thick material used in the signs made locally in the United States is not available here, and usually uses 10mm (0.39″) or 15mm(0.59″).
We usually use vector design files in ai, cdr, eps, svg formats, vector design drawing files in PDF format are also available. If your design drawing is made by AutoCAD, please provide the version of AutoCAD 2007.
Very sorry, we suggest you contact your local designer to design your logo from scratch. This design work requires a lot of communication work, and we are in China, the time difference and language differences will make the communication very difficult. We can advise you or help you modify your logo design so it can be produced.

Yes, we provide color matching service, it’s free. We use the Pantone color card for color matching by default, you only need to provide the Pantone value of the color, but generally speaking, the amount of paint required for the production of a set of signs is very small, which is not suitable for using a dedicated color matching machine. Therefore, in most cases we use manual color correction, which is only a simulation of Pantone colors, and we cannot guarantee an exact match.
We lovingly pack every order to ensure that your signs arrive in pristine condition. UPS assures us that their delivery personnel take every precaution to handle your package with care.
Unfortunately, DHL and UPS won’t deliver to a P.O. box, so we’ll need a physical street address.
Unless the installation of large signs will involve the use of professional engineering equipment, the installation of signs is not complicated in most cases. However, we still recommend that you hire a professional sign installer who can make your sign look better, stronger, and more safe, especially if your signs are illuminated signs.
We are very sorry, we are a sign factory in China and currently do not have any offices and branches in other countries and regions, so we cannot provide you with installation services. But we have partners all over the world, and if you can’t find the right installer, we can help you find one.
Usually the maintenance of the signage is very simple, just wipe off the dust with a soft cloth dipped in clean fresh water. Never use organic cleaners, especially if your signs are painted or electroplated. In addition, for illuminated signs, placing the AC transformer in an environment with good ventilation conditions can effectively improve the service life of the AC transformer.
For most LED lighted signs, it is possible to open the signs and renew the LED. However, we recommend that you find a local electrician to do it for you, as it will involve wiring and other work. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us.

Every time I see our customers’ delighted faces when they see the signage on the front door of our beauty salon, it makes me so pleased. I myself often stand and stare at it for a while. Really very beautiful, it’s affordable and high quality, I highly recommend your service!

We appreciate the way the specialists of BusinessSign.Com dealt with our company. Professional and friendly, they helped us in choosing the most suitable style of dimensional signage for our dental clinic. No need to mention, the sign filled the negative spaces of our blank walls and turned the place into a dream place. Thank you very much!
Chaim Levine
Every time we need new signage for branding we turn to BusinessSign.Com. The product they provide is high-quality and durable. This time we wanted eye-catching solutions for boosting our brand. That’s why we went for the halo effect signs as they’re attractive and catch the attention of passers-by day and night.
Maddison M
Can't tell how impressed I am with their service. I didn't know what exactly I wanted for my company front. They suggested to me all the possible variants, explaining all the cons and pros and it was easy for me to choose a hanging storefront sign as it was visible from both sights. They are really professional and know how to deal with customers. Highly impressed. Thank you very much.

We’ll open our cafe in a month so we needed outdoor signage with our logo. We needed high exposure so Alex offered to go with a light box logo sign. The sign looks great and we already notice how it captures attention. Thank you!
Colin Malaker
We’ve worked with multiple sign-making companies and BusinessSign.Com is the best one so far. My company needed some custom office signs that turned out very good. They had a very professional approach from start to finish. They deliver quality work on time and it is a pleasure to work with. It is good to be able to rely on them! Looking forward to our next project.
