Raceway Signs

Custom Raceway Signs: The Smart, Landlord-Friendly Signage Solution

When it comes to exterior signage raceway systems, functionality meets aesthetics. If you are leasing a space in a commercial plaza, shopping mall, or office building, you have likely been told you need Raceway Mounted Signs. Don't worry at Custom Signs Makers, we specialize in designing sleek, professional raceway signs that satisfy strict landlord requirements while keeping your brand looking premium. A raceway sign consists of individual letters mounted onto a rectangular metal box the "raceway" which houses all the electrical wiring. This entire unit is then mounted to the wall.

Why Choose Raceway Mounted Channel Letters?

Many business owners worry that the metal box behind the letters will look bulky. However, when done right by experts, raceway signage offers distinct advantages:

• Landlord & Permit Friendly: Most property managers require raceway mounted channel letters because they require significantly fewer holes in the building facade compared to individually mounted letters.
• Easy Installation & Maintenance: Since all the wiring is contained in the box, installation is faster, cheaper, and safer. If a light ever needs servicing, the access panel on the raceway makes it a breeze.
• Color-Matched Perfection: We are not just a generic sign shop. We paint the channel letter raceway to match the exact color of your building’s facade. This makes the box blend in and virtually "disappear," leaving only your brand name shining bright. ( EK)

Types of Raceway Letters We Create

We offer fully customizable options to ensure your raceway letters match your brand identity perfectly.

• Illuminated Raceways: Using premium LEDs inside the channel letters for bright, energy-efficient visibility day and night.
• Non-Illuminated: For businesses that operate strictly 9-to-5, we offer cost-effective non-lit options on a sturdy raceway mount.
• Custom Shapes: We don't just do straight lines. We can fabricate curved or custom-shaped raceways to fit unique architectural features.

Not Sure if Raceway is Right for You? Compare Options

While raceway signage is the industry standard for strip malls, your building might allow for different styles. Here is how our other options compare:

Direct Mount vs. Raceway

If you own your building or have a flexible landlord, you might prefer Channel Letters Signs that are "flush mounted" directly to the wall without a backing box. This offers a cleaner, floating look but requires more drilling.

For a More Modern Look

If you want something sleeker than traditional channel letters, consider our Push Through Signs. These offer a stunning 3D effect where acrylic pushes through a metal cabinet often used in high-end dining. Alternatively, Acrylic Storefront Signs offer a glossy, flat finish that is modern and cost-effective.

For Maximum Night Visibility

If your primary goal is brightness, check out our Lightbox Signs. These are large, fully illuminated cabinets that offer more surface area for graphics than individual letters. For a more subtle, luxurious glow, our Metal Backlit Signs (halo-lit) are the top choice for law firms and corporate HQs.

Complementary Signage

Don't stop at the storefront.

• Blade Signs: Add a projecting sign to catch the attention of pedestrians walking down the sidewalk.
• Interior Office Signs: Carry your branding inside with professional reception signage.
• Metal Building Signs: For industrial locations where durability is the only priority.
