Channel Letter & Channel Shape Drawings

Drawings are dimensioned with measurements in fractional inches. Rounding should be set to 1/16”.

eg. 120 1/2” is the standard, rather than 120.5”.

A Creative Cloud library has been developed, with specification standards for each sign type.

These standards have been developed so that our drawings are a consistent, repeatable process. The screen shot below shows an example of the library item locations.

The construction specifications are placed to the left, below the grey information bar. Additional specifications are added in columns, working from left to right.

The grey bar can be moved up and down to accommodate the specifications.

Channel letters often have multiple components to be specified. Each component is indicated as (A), (B) Construction, etc. as shown in the example below.

Channel letters often require a raceway or backer panel for installation. These would also be listed as another sign component, such as (C) Construction.

Breaking out the sign components in this matter makes it clear which part of the drawing the specifications apply to.

General rule of thumb for minimum preferred height is 8” with a 1 1/2” stroke. This can vary on a job to job basis. If in doubt we can utilize the drafting team for recommendations.
