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

If you’re looking for a signage to recommend to your clients, our best-selling channel letters sign won’t disappoint. We offer various options to ensure that sign shops can cater to various industries and client needs. Learn more about the different channel signs:

Trimless Channel Letters

Crafted from durable fabricated stainless steel, this sign offers striking illumination with an acrylic cover. Choose from Front Lit (with a luminous acrylic face), Back Lit (featuring an acrylic reveal for a halo effect), or Front & Back Lit for maximum impact. A unique design element is the extended acrylic cover, which slightly overlaps the sign’s edge. This ensures its extended borders are also brilliantly illuminated.

Aluminum Resin Channel Letters

This sign is an innovative, lightweight channel letter made of aluminum return and acrylic resin cover. Its main feature is its perfectly fitted cover whether you choose the Front Lit or the Front & Back Lit version. We used liquid resin poured over the aluminum channel to ensure it perfectly took the front’s shape. 

Acrylic Channel Letters

Our all-acrylic signage delivers a sleek, vibrant, and uniform glow, making it ideal for indoor use. We offer versatile lighting styles, including Front Lit, Back Lit, and Front & Back Lit. For unique illumination, our all-acrylic channel letters exclusively feature Side Lit and Front & Side Lit options.
