What is the difference between Trimless and Aluminum Resin Channel Letters?

Aluminum Resin Channel Letters

Aluminum Resin Channel Letters are made of a fabricated aluminum body and cured liquid resin for the cover. The resin cover perfectly fits the aluminum case. Using less expensive materials without compromising on quality allows us to offer the sign at a more cost-friendly price range. We offer Front and Front & Back Lit versions for this product line. 

Trimless Channel Letters

Meanwhile, the Trimless Channel Letters are constructed using a combination of metal and laser-cut acrylic sheets. The metal forms the main body of the letter, while the face is made of precisely cut acrylic. A unique feature of these letters is that the acrylic face extends slightly beyond the metal edges, while the light emits from the front to the edges of the front acrylic cover.

What is the difference between Channel Letters with Trim Cap and Trimless Channel Letters? 

Trimmed channel letters

feature a visible border or trim around each letter, providing a defined edge that enhances character visibility. The trim can be customized in color and material to complement the overall sign design.

Trimless channel letters

boast a sleek, modern aesthetic by eliminating the visible trim. This creates a seamless and sophisticated appearance that can elevate a business’s image. Check out these samples:
