Channel Letter Coil
Channel letter coil is prefinished aluminum coil slit and recoiled to the exact width sign shops need for channel letter fabrication. Wieland-Wrisco produces it on computerized cut-to-length slitting lines in Prefinished Painted, Mill Finish, or Anodized options, in gauges .032, .040, .050, and .063.
What sizes and colors are in stock?
Super Bright White, Black, and Bronze are standard stock items, ready to ship. Standard stock sizes are .040″ x 5.3″ x 270′, .040″ x 4.3″ x 270′, and .032″ x 5.3″ x 270′. Mill finish coil is also available in .040″ x 3.5″ x 270′, .063″ x 1.5″ x 500′, .063″ x 2″ x 270′, and .063″ x 3″ x 270′.
Why buy coil pre-slit instead of full sheet?
Coil that’s already slit to width means no wasted drop and no labor spent cutting sheet down to size, which saves both material cost and shop time. It also ships economically via UPS, since it’s already sized for channel letter machinery.
What’s on the back of the coil?
Every coil has Super Bright White on the backside for maximum light reflectivity inside the finished letter. Painted coil ships PVC protective masked; mill finish coil ships unmasked. Custom widths and lengths are available with quick turnaround and no surcharges (certain color and finish minimums apply).
