Custom Fabrication
Send the artwork. We build the sign.
Channel letters, cabinets, monuments, pylons and print — fabricated in Yakima to your drawings and delivered on our trucks. Same-day quotes, most builds in three to four weeks.
How this works
Wholesale only. We do not compete with you.
Illumiletter builds for sign companies, installers and resellers. Your customer never hears from us, our name never goes on the sign, and a reseller’s permit is required on every custom order.
Everything below is built in our own shop — no import, no tariffs, no customs broker. If it is not on this page, ask anyway. Thirty years in, we have usually built it before.
By illumination
Channel letters
Six configurations across four illumination modes. Return depths of 3.5″ or 5.3″ standard, custom up to 8″. Matthews Paint System colors.
Front-lit channel letters
Acrylic face, trim cap or trimless, lit from inside. The workhorse.
Halo-lit channel letters
Solid metal face, light thrown back at the wall. Standoff mounted.
Front & back lit letters
Both at once — face illumination plus a halo behind.
Non-illuminated letters
Trimless stepped face, trimless face or standard trim cap. No wiring.
Open-face marquee letters
Exposed neon or bulb in an open pan. Period-correct.
Push-through lettering
Acrylic pushed through an aluminum face for a lit 3D edge.

From artwork to loading dock
No portal, no ticket queue. One project manager owns your job start to finish.
01
Send it in
Vector artwork, dimensions, colors, ship-to and your reseller’s permit. Email works fine.
02
Same-day quote
You get a number the same day, with the spec written out so there is no ambiguity.
03
Approve the proof
Check sizes, spelling and colors carefully. Once production starts a custom sign is non-cancelable and non-returnable.
04
Build
Three to four weeks is typical. Complex or oversized work runs longer and we will say so up front.
05
Delivered
Within four hours of Yakima we bring it ourselves. Beyond that it ships freight, or you can will-call any time.
