Pan Channel signs are the most common signs we make. If your not familiar with the name they are also called LED signs, channel signs and some even refer to them as 3d signs.
They are essentially a channel fabricated out of aluminum coil and bent round a back cut piece of aluminum to form the letter or shape of your sign. We then rivet that backer sign piece to the aluminum sign coil and this makes a channel or the return. The return is the depth of the sign.
Once the returns are formed we then place UL rated LED lights on the back of the channels to shine forward through the front faces of the sign. Last part of the fabrication sign process is to make the faces.
The faces are made by cutting sign grade acrylic in the shapes of the letters or whatever sign logo shapes to form the front of the sign. Next we use special sign glue to bond the trim cap to the acrylic sign faces. This process allows our sign installation team to screw the sign faces to the sign channels and completes the pan channel sign.
Reverse Pan Channel signs also refereed to as RPC signs are the next most popular sign. These signs are very classy looking and often used for the beauty industry, medical, some higher scale restaurants and professional business signs.
They are essentially a Pan Channel sign flipped backwards meaning the back aluminum sign plate is now in front and the open channel is facing the building in the back of the sign. The front of the sign or sign face is solid paint and no longer translucent sign grade acrylic. This means the back is either open or has translucent sign grade acrylic for the light to shine through another key point is there are a few options with RPC reverse pan channel letter signs.
1) you can make these signs with LED illumination, but the biggest difference is the lights will shine opposite way as a pan channel sign. The lights on RPC sign shines towards the wall and the light bounces off the wall and makes a halo glow effect. This effect is also know as a reverse pan channel halo sign or back-lit sign. This effect makes the front of the sign at night appear blacked out and adds a nice elegant soft glow effect around the sign.
2) Another great point to highlight is how they are installed. If were reflecting LED lights off the building to create the nice glow effect around the sign then the installation of the sign while be offset off the building usually 1”-3” and installed with sign L brackets or spacers. By installing this way it allows the light to reflect off the fascia wall and create the soft glow around the edges of the sign that were looking for. However we fabricate a ton of NON lit LED reverse pan channel signs throughout all Arizona. Non lit can be installed either offset or flush to the building using the same sign fastening hardware.
3) last idea to mention is you can do both pan channel and reverse pan channel sign styles simultaneously on the same sign which adds a very nice look and can really set you apart from your competitors in your same market. This type of sign has illumination from the front and also shows a back lit glow effect around the sign. When we create this style usually it’s a different color contrast that we use for the sign faces bad the halo lit glow effect. Heres a few examples below to show you what i mean.
Most Arizona cities require that you put up channel letter signs on your building structure. Channel letter signs refereed to as Pan channel signs are the most common and economical sign you can make for your business. These signs light from the back of the letter shinning out the front or the sign letter face through the transparent vinyl and white acrylic.
Some signs can be done without colored translucent vinyl and can just be colored acrylic sign faces. If your sign colors consist of a more basic primary color we can in most cases just use colored acrylic.
When you want to get a more custom solid color for your letter sign, then there a good amount of translucent sign vinyls to match or come close to matching just about any color you can imagine. All we would do is mount the translucent vinyl on the acrylic sign face. Then we would trim the edge around the sign face and add the sign trim cap.
One thing to keep in mind that just because we have the stock and option of making the custom sign color you want, this does not always mean the city or building owner will allow it. Often times the city sign permitting department has only a specific color of channel sign letters that are in the center and city sign criteria for the building. So a good rule of thumb is to make sure you have the sign company check before you waste allot of time designing something that the city won’t even allow. Custom Image Pros does a extensive sign criteria check on the requirements and come up with a perfect channel letter solution to meet your building sign goals.
One last good point is some city permitting sign departments won’t even allow custom sign letters and your only option will be to make a specific sign letter basic font.

Some Arizona centers require that you put your sign on a raceway. Raceways are typically painted aluminum large rectangle boxes that hold all your sign electrical wires, power supply and the switch inside the box.
There are pros and cons to using a sign raceway.
One big benefit factor is that it cuts down on install time greatly since your pan channel sign is already fastened to the raceway and you just have to bolt the raceway to the building fascia. Keep in mind that even though the sign installation time is cut down greatly raceway type signs tend to be much higher in price due to the extra material and labor in fabrication and painting the sign raceway.
Another great pro to signs that are mounted to a raceway is the building stays in better shape due to not every pan channel sign letter needing to be drilled into and fastened to the building. For this reason alone there are allot of business centers that require the use of a sign raceway so the building has only a few holes to be drilled.
One of the best pros to using a sign on a raceway would be the aesthetics of making a sign raceway box part of the design like the sample we did for the reptile store in Phoenix below.
In this example were making the Pan channel sign on top of the green box allowing the box to act like a sign raceway, but still using the raceway to be part of the overall artistic sign. Couple last pros is sometimes there are already raceways on the buildings so we can take them down cover holes repaint and re-purpose for your sign to save lots of money instead of building a new one and they are also relatively easy to take down and reinstall in another location if the business moves locations. Now the cons, they are almost always more money and often items they are much heavier and require a separate crane and separate sign bucket truck to hoist them up so they can be fastened to the building.
We help lots of businesses in Arizona decide the best sign solution and best and most affordable way if a raceway sign is needed or wanted to make it part of the artistic design of the sign.
