When it comes to exterior signage, channel letters remain the gold standard for businesses that want visibility, professionalism, and long-term performance. At FASTSIGNS® Independence in Charlotte, we still build our channel letters the right way — using durable materials, reliable LED systems, and proven craftsmanship that keeps your sign shining bright for years to come.
Why Channel Letters Are the #1 Choice for Storefronts
Channel letters are more than just a sign — they’re your brand’s first impression. Whether you’re on a busy street or in a shopping center, a well-designed illuminated sign helps customers find you, remember you, and trust you.
Professionally built channel letters:
Enhance brand visibility day and night
Communicate quality and permanence
Comply with local building codes and landlord standards
Offer customizable lighting styles such as front-lit, halo-lit, or combination illumination
In a city like Charlotte, where competition is strong and appearance matters, investing in a professionally built channel letter sign gives your business a clear edge.
The Difference Is in the Build
Not all channel letters are created equal. Over the past few years, low-cost versions have entered the market — often made with thin metals, brittle plastics, or weak lighting systems. These cheaper options may save money up front but can fade, fail, or discolor within a short time.
At FASTSIGNS® Independence, we fabricate each sign to perform and last:
Precision-formed aluminum returns and backs for durability and rust resistance
Energy-efficient LED modules that deliver consistent brightness
Acrylic faces and trimcap finishes that hold color and resist UV damage
Quality assembly and sealing techniques that protect against water intrusion and weathering
Every sign is engineered for long-term reliability — because your business deserves more than a quick fix.

Whether you need a simple wall-mounted sign or a large-scale illuminated façade, our team can tailor the design to fit your architecture, brand colors, and visibility goals. We handle everything in-house:
