Quick answer: what does this channel letter selector do?
This tool turns a basic signage brief into a practical starting specification. Choose the application, exposure, letter height, stroke width, lighting effect and delivery market. It then shows likely materials, minimum production dimensions, return depth, LED control, protection and export-packing requirements. The result is planning guidance and must be confirmed against approved artwork and factory shop drawings.
Use this selector before requesting a quote. It helps identify whether the proposed logo size and stroke can accommodate the desired lighting, and it produces a concise checklist that can be copied into an RFQ. It does not calculate price and does not replace a structural, electrical or local-code review.
Planning specification
Ready
Important: dimensions are starting guidance based on HLW Sign production ranges. Final feasibility depends on the artwork, font, wiring, LED layout, mounting, destination requirements and approved shop drawing. No price is shown because material, power, packing and installation scope must be reviewed.
How to use the result
- Check the warnings first. A stroke or letter height below the production starting range is a design issue, not a price issue.
- Copy the planning summary into the RFQ or project note.
- Attach vector artwork, a facade photo, dimensions, voltage and installation access details.
- Ask the factory to confirm the final material thickness, LED layout, driver load, IP assembly and packing drawing.
What the tool uses
The recommendations use published HLW Sign production ranges: front-lit minimum stroke 20 mm and standard English height from 7 cm; backlit and starry minimum stroke 10 mm; RGB standard LED pitch 15–20 mm with a ≤10 mm high-density option. Return-depth and face-thickness ranges come from the product specifications. See the channel letter technical reference for the complete material and export tables.
