Rim and Return Letters for Business

Rim and return letters, also known as channel letters, are a popular choice for eye-catching and impactful signage.

These letters are usually constructed with stainless steel returns with acrylic faces.

The rim in rim and return letters refers to the stainless steel frame that surrounds the edges of each letter. This frame not only provides a clean and finished look to the letter, but it also adds structural integrity, making the letters more durable and long-lasting. The rim can be any size but more usually it is between 10-30mm.

The return in rim and return letters refers to the sides of each letter, which are also constructed with metal. These sides are typically around 60-80mm deep, which creates a channel where LED lights can be installed. This results in a sign that is illuminated from within, creating a striking and attention-grabbing effect.

At The Unsigned Co, we offer a variety of options for rim and return letters, including custom fonts and colours, as well as different lighting options all dependent on your needs. Our experienced team can help you design the perfect sign with rim and return letters for your business, ensuring that it reflects your brand and stands out from the competition.

One of the benefits of rim and return letters is that they can be used both indoors and outdoors, making them a versatile choice for businesses. They are also highly customisable, so you can create a sign that perfectly matches your brand and aesthetic.

They can be mounted directly onto a wall, aluminium tray or other surfaces. They can also be installed using standoffs or spacers to create a 3D effect. Furthermore, we can also create a halo effect on these letters with a PETG or clear acrylic backtray, giving you front face illumination and halo illumination.

Do not let all these technical terms confuse you. Our experienced team at The Unsigned Co is here to help and simplify the entire process for you from initial design to manufacturing to the final install.
