Product Description of Non Illuminated Channel Letters
Non-illuminated letters Also Known As 3D sign letters and logos, Outdoor dimensional lettering, Metal sign letters, Acrylic sign lettering. Channel letters can also be made without lighting, referred to as a non-lit channel or fabricated letters. This type of signage is often found in commercial properties when lighting is not as important as in a retail environment. Non-lit channel letters are sleek, classy, durable, and project an image of substance and quality.
In many cases, illuminated letters are not necessary given where you are located and the type of business you are in. Retail yes, commercial enterprises, often not. If visibility is not essential at night, the non-illuminated or fabricated letter is a terrific option for your signage. Essentially made the same as a halo-lit channel letter, these letters are constructed without the need for a light source. The letters are durable, can be produced with a variety of finishes, depths, and colors, and offers almost unlimited design potential.
An exterior sign doesn’t have to be illuminated. There are ways to get your brand and logo to pop off the wall and catch the attention of patrons without lighting up. Non-illuminated signs come in a variety of colors, depths, materials, and sizes — just like illuminated channel letters. You can build a channel letter and forego the LEDs to still keep with the look of the center where your business is located. Non-illuminated letters can be fabricated out of aluminum and painted to match any corporate color or even be cut out of acrylic and painted.
Non Illuminated Channel Letters are sleek, classy, durable, and project an image of substance and quality.
Non-Illuminated Signs are fabricated metal letters, Fabricated Stainless Steel Letters, plastic or acrylic letters without any lighting components. Typically they are mounted the same as Reverse Channel Letter Signs mounted directly to the fascia. These types of letters are perfect for textured backgrounds or as interior signs.
Unlike Face Lit Signage, which is typically mounted flush (flat to the wall), mounting non illuminated Weld On Metal Letters off the wall with pins or studs gives the additional dimension to your display without the additional cost.
Choosing a sign is one of the most important decisions you can make for your business. Think of your store sign as a silent salesman. When choosing a sign there are many factors to consider, cost, size, installation, and maintenance. A non-illuminated sign simply means the sign is not lighted. Non-illuminated signs have other ways to catch the customer’s eye such as high-performance enamel finishes, custom frames, and workmanship and placement.

What Are Exterior Non-Illuminated Signs?
When you own a business, you have a wide variety of sign options at your disposal. The purpose of a sign is to show visitors where you’re located and label your storefront, restaurant, or office building. Some signs are built to light up, while others are just as effective without light. Non-illuminated signs are just that — as effective as lit signs without the lighting.
We can create these signs to look as unique as your business. When you work with a top-quality sign company such as IDS Signs, you’ll feel satisfied with your end result.
Exterior non-illuminated building signs are a great way to invite customers into your plaza, building, square, park, office, or store, and come in a wide variety of shapes, sizes, and colors. We’ll work with you to create a design that intrigues visitors and stays true to your brand.
Types of Non-Illuminated Channel Letters Signs
Although any type of individual channel letter can be manufactured without illumination, flat-cut-out aluminum, acrylic, and non-illuminated reverse channel are the most common:
Flat-Cut-Out Aluminum Letters Signage
Flat-Cut-Out Aluminum letters are a great non illuminated channel letters option due to their ability to be easily formed into any font or shape, as well as painted any color.
- 3/16″ – 1″ thick (1/4″ is the most common.)
- The non-reflective, semi-gloss painted finish is durable, dependable, and capable of being painted any color to reflect your unique branding.
- Ideal for individual letters less than 24″ in height.
Flat-Cut-Out Acrylic Non Illuminated Letters Signs
Flat-Cut-Out Acrylic letters are typically a bit more cost-effective than painted aluminum letters. Choose from a standard set of pigmented colors or have the letters painted to match your exact corporate colors:
- 1/8″ – 1″ thick (1/4″ is the most common.)
- Can be customized to any font style or logo with a smooth, laser-cut edge.
- Unlike aluminum letters (which are painted), acrylic letters are pigmented, meaning that the color is impeded into the material, and won’t rust, chip, or peel off.
Non Illuminated Reverse Channel Letters
Non illuminated reverse channel letters are most commonly used when the letter is either too large for flat-cut-out aluminum or acrylic, or to add dimensional depth and interest to your signage with the deeper letters:
- 1.5″, 2″ or 3″ deep.
- Like Illuminated Reverse Channel, the letters are available in a variety of materials, including brushed or painted metal, stainless steel, and other high-quality metals.
- Reverse channels are more cost-effective than flat-cut-out aluminum once the letter is above 24″ in height.
Non-Illuminated Channel Letters Signages Mounting Methods
Unlike Face-Lit letters, which are typically mounted flush (flat to the wall), mounting non illuminated channel letters off the wall with pins or studs gives an additional dimension to your display without the additional cost:
Flush Mount
Mounted flat and mechanically fastened into the wall.
Pin-Mounted
Consists of using studs to pin the letters off the wall (0.25-0.5″ off the wall is the most typical).
Pin-Mounting is a great option to give an additional dimension to your display without upgrading to a larger letter.
Rail-Mounted
Rail Mounting is a more cost-effective version of a Raceway or Wireway for when the mounting surface is not capable of supporting flush or pin-mounting:
- Rails are constructed of aluminum tubing and can be painted to match building surface or corporate colors.
- Often Landlords require rail mounting to reduce the number of holes drilled into the building.
Non-Illuminated Letters Signs That Make An Impact

They will still draw customers to your business while being cost-efficient.
3. They Make Your Business Professional
When is the last time you entered an establishment with a posterboard sign on their door? Chances are, never. It’s important to make your storefront look professional, and opting for a custom non-illuminated sign can do the trick. Not only does it label your storefront, but it makes your establishment look professional, organized, and put together — all of which help draw customers inside.
Exterior Non-Illuminated Sign Applications
For indoor lobbies, and exterior signs for businesses that do not open during evenings—non-illuminated lettering could be the right choice for you. Though less expensive and with a lower profile than illuminated channel letters, this type of signage has advantages. Non-illuminated lettering has a wider variety of custom finish options than do illuminated letters—giving you a richer and more textured appearance.
Non-illuminated signs are the perfect choice for businesses located in a historic downtown area that may not be allowed to use any illuminated signs. If your business shuts down after 5 or 6 p.m., an exterior non-illuminated building sign can reflect that your business is closed. For example, a mom-and-pop retail store with normal business hours can use a non-illuminated sign to highlight their location and show when they’re closed.

Illuminated vs. Non-Illuminated Signage – Which One Should You Choose?
The signage you chose for your business will impact growth in a number of ways. Think about it. Your marketing strategies, advertising campaigns, and even the people you target are, in some way, influenced by your signage. Therefore, one of the biggest you have to make when it comes down to what your signs look like is whether you choose to illuminate them or not.
Aside from one option having internal lighting, there are differences between illuminated vs. non-illuminated signage that you need to know about before making your final decision. To help you make the right choice, here is everything you need to consider about illuminated vs. non-illuminated signage.
About Illuminated Signs
Illuminated signs are billboards, displays, and other forms of signage that come with an internal light source. Usually, local building and sign codes will enforce the level of brightness and other elements of illuminated signs, depending on your location.
Illuminated signs come in a number of styles, including:
- Monument signs – freestanding signs that are mounted to pillars. When internally illuminated, the electrical components are housed within the structure itself or mounted to the surface.
- Channel letter signs – dimensional signs in the shape of letters that can be mounted and illuminated in a number of ways, including the popular halo-lit style.
Directional/Navigational signs – LED elements can be added to the cabinet (or box) to light up parts of the sign or the whole thing, making it more visible throughout day and night. - Electronic message centers and LED readerboards – can be in the form of monument signs, freestanding, or mounted to walls. Like a TV screen, these are usually internally illuminated and will display bright images and other news throughout the day.
In order to make a sign light up, sign manufacturers use the following state-of-the-art equipment and materials:
- Light-Emitting Diodes (LED) – cost-effective, bright, and available in numerous colors, LED is a trustworthy and highly reliable source of illumination that can be operated 24/7.
- Fluorescent bulbs – you can use T12 residential fluorescent bulbs, T5 small bulbs, or the energy-saving T8 commercial bulbs.
- Computerized equipment for channel letters – to make crisp, clean designs, manufacturers will use machines that can cut letters and logos to your exact specifications, ensuring that everything looks amazing when it is all aglow.
- Depending on your design and needs, you can choose various lighting elements, such as neon over the LED. Feel free to discuss your options with us.
Benefits of Illuminated Signage
Here are the benefits of using illuminated signage:
- Increased visibility throughout the day
- Increased reach of marketing campaigns due to increased visibility
- Easily catches the attention of target customers and passerby
- More visible over extended distances than non-illuminated signs and cut through inclement weather, including fog and rain
- Can be utilized indoors as emergency signs, LED displays, and as art
About Non-Illuminated Signs
Unlike illuminated signs, non-illuminated signage lacks an internal light source. However, that doesn’t mean they cannot be lit up. You merely have to use an external light, such as a spotlight, to brighten the sign. However, non-illuminated signs use the same materials as illuminated signs, especially in terms of metal frames, acrylic faces, and other elements, such as colors, shapes, and sizes.
Non-illuminated signs can also be designed to enhance their appearance during the night, using contrasting colors or certain films to change the color of the sign in different levels of light.
Benefits of Non-Illuminated Signage
- Let’s have a look at the benefits of non-illuminated signs:
- Budget-friendly signage options, since they do not use electricity to operate
- Flexible style and design options, including an array of colors, fonts, sizes, and shapes
- Ideal for businesses that operate on a 9-5 schedule
- Look sleek and professional, both indoors and outdoors
- Can be used as directional signage and for temporary promotions
- Easy to maintain and relocate
Differences Between Illuminated and Non-Illuminated Signs
As you should now know, the main difference between illuminated vs. non-illuminated signage is whether they can be illuminated internally or not. Illuminated signs use everything from internal wires and LED bulbs to neon tubing to brighten up the sign and surroundings, while non-illuminated signs have nothing to internally light up.
The main advantage illuminated signs have over non-illuminated signs is the ability to see clearly both day and night. Illuminated signs can be more advantageous to businesses that run 24-hours since the lit sign makes them more visible to passersby. Some areas do not allow for illuminated signs, however. Keep that in mind as you shop around.
Additionally, businesses need to consider the cost of professional maintenance and operation. Illuminated signs require a bit more upkeep, since electrical components can malfunction, and bulbs can burn out. While running an LED sign is relatively cheap, other signs that use neon can be costly to run for prolonged periods. Conversely, non-illuminated signs are much easier to maintain.
To Light or Not To Light?
In the end, choosing non-illuminated or illuminated signage comes down to two key things: Does the local government allow for illuminated signs in your area? And if so, do you feel like paying for the additional cost of illuminated signage? Other than that, you can choose between aesthetics and design.
Regardless of which option you select, professionally crafted signage is going to be a defining element to your business. It will attract customers and boost income in no time. Choose a manufacturer who focuses on the quality of their materials and carefully constructed designs.

Non Illuminated Signs FAQ
It’s no secret — high-quality signage is key to drawing attention to your business and getting people to buy, not pass you by. After all, what’s more, eye-catching than a big bright sign or an electronic message center? But what if you can’t use bright lights or digital displays? Can non-illuminated signage make an impact? Yes, it can! Non-illuminated signage can be just as effective as any other piece of signage — when it’s properly designed, fabricated, and installed. If local or building regulations restrict the usage of illuminated signs, here’s what you can do to make your business’s non-illuminated signage pop, day or night. One of the best ways to make non-illuminated signage pop is with the use of dimension. We don’t live in a 2D world, so why shouldn’t you do more than using flat panels with flat graphics on them? With that in mind, dimensional signage including 3D lettering is available in a wide variety of materials, such as: Regardless of what material you choose, remember the basics. This includes height, size, color, and placement. Even though a sign might look striking and vivid on its own, it still needs to contrast with the local background and/or compete with other nearby signs. Contrast is important, too. A sign’s readability is mostly due to the contrast of the letters against the background color of the sign (light letters on a dark background, or dark letters on a light background). Another approach is to have a dark border around the letters against a light background. In any case, contrast improves readability, and it delivers greater aesthetic appeal.
