Raised 6D Layered Construction

These channel letters achieve their distinctive appearance through a combination of layered acrylic and electroplated metal. The illuminated front acrylic is precision-cut slightly smaller than the surrounding metal frame, creating a visible stepped edge and raised floating effect.

This construction produces depth, highlights, and architectural shadows during the day. When illuminated, the front face and rear acrylic diffuser create two separate lighting effects that visually distinguish the face, metal return, wall, and surrounding halo.

The term 6D describes the product’s multi-layered dimensional appearance and dual-lighting presentation. It does not represent a standardized physical-depth measurement. Final letter depth is determined by the artwork, dimensions, LED layout, and fabrication requirements.

Dual-Lit LED Illumination

The lighting system combines front-face illumination with rear halo lighting for visibility and dimensional impact.

Front-Face Illumination

Internal LEDs direct light through the raised acrylic face, producing bright, clearly defined letters and logos. The acrylic diffuses the light to support an even illuminated appearance across compatible designs.

LED placement is planned according to:

• Letter dimensions

• Stroke width

• Acrylic color

• Internal depth

• Logo complexity

• Desired brightness

Rear Halo Illumination

Light also passes through the rear acrylic diffuser and reflects against the mounting surface. Standoff installation creates space behind the letters, allowing the illumination to spread outward and form a soft halo.

The final halo appearance depends on:

• Distance between the letters and wall

• Rear acrylic and LED colors

• Wall color and reflectivity

• Wall texture

• Ambient lighting

• Letter dimensions

• Spacing between characters

Smooth, light-colored walls generally produce a brighter and more evenly distributed halo than dark, rough, or highly textured surfaces.

Electroplated Metal Finish Options

The dimensional metal returns receive a polished electroplated coating that provides a high-luster metallic appearance.

Electroplate Silver

A bright chrome-inspired finish for modern corporate offices, technology companies, automotive businesses, and contemporary storefronts.

Electroplate Gold

A warm, luxurious finish suited to hotels, jewelry stores, restaurants, executive offices, and premium retail environments.

Electroplate Rose Gold

A fashionable copper-blush finish ideal for salons, beauty studios, boutiques, wedding businesses, and modern hospitality brands.

Electroplate Bronze

A deep, sophisticated metallic tone that brings traditional warmth to restaurants, hotels, offices, and architectural interiors.

Electroplate Copper

A rich amber-toned finish that creates a distinctive appearance for specialty retailers, restaurants, creative businesses, and branded feature walls.

Electroplated finishes are reflective. Their visible color and brightness may change with surrounding objects, ambient lighting, wall color, and viewing angle.

Front and Rear Acrylic Colors

Select the front-face and rear-diffuser colors independently to coordinate the visible sign face with the desired halo effect.

Mounting Options

Direct-Wall Mount

Standoff pins position the letters away from the installation surface so rear illumination can spread around each character. Direct mounting may be suitable for compatible brick, stone, concrete, stucco, wood, or interior walls.

The required standoff distance and hardware depend on the letter dimensions, weight, wall material, and desired halo effect.

Panel or Backer-Board Mount

Letters may be installed on an acrylic or aluminum composite backer panel. This creates a unified sign structure and can simplify spacing, electrical routing, alignment, and installation.

The panel color can be selected to coordinate with the electroplated finish, acrylic colors, and rear halo.

Raceway Mount

Letters may be assembled on a fabricated metal raceway that contains the wiring and other electrical components. A raceway can reduce the number of electrical penetrations required in the building surface and simplify service access.

Mounting availability depends on the sign dimensions, installation surface, electrical configuration, and local requirements.

Installation Information

Each approved channel-letter set includes:

• Mounting hardware for the selected configuration

• A full-scale 1:1 paper installation template

• Letter-spacing and placement guidance

• Electrical specifications for the approved LED system

Physical installation and direct electrical hardwiring are not included. Installation should be completed by a qualified sign contractor or licensed electrician in accordance with applicable building codes, electrical codes, permit requirements, and property-management rules.

Artwork and File Preparation

Production-ready vector artwork is required for accurate fabrication.

Convert all text to outlines before uploading the artwork. JPG, PNG, and PSD files may be used as design references but may require vector conversion before fabrication.

Artwork Guidelines

For the best results:

• Convert all fonts to vector outlines.

• Use clean, closed vector paths.

• Remove duplicate or overlapping paths.

• Clearly separate individual letters and logo elements.

• Specify the required overall dimensions.

• Select the electroplated finish.

• Identify the front acrylic color.

• Identify the rear acrylic color.

• Specify the preferred lighting colors.
