Channel Letter Faces

How much larger do you cut the faces for channel letters? Our fabricators are driving me crazy! One day they want the faces 1/4" oversized, the next day 1/2", the next day 1/8". Is there an industry standard? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Hello
I do not know what type of construction you are doing to produce your letters. but we weld our letters to the back with the return sitting on the letter it self and we add .080 to the face. if you are riviting the returns then you have to add the thickness of the return then add .080 for the face. for example .040 returns X 2 = .080 plus the .080 for the face. if you are welding your letters then only add the .080

Good luck

If you are wrapping your returns rather than welding them like a reverse channel letter, than the standard offset is 1/8".
1/4" to 1/2" offset is a reflection on the forming itself.
If you need that big of an offset, your returns are not being formed properly.

It is easy to understand why brand name bags to be costly; they are burdened with great amount of cheap jewelry online As with the rest of Time magazine, this article is short, stupid and pointless. There is an *excellent* article in the March 14, 2011 issue of The New Yorker, Perhaps women never be satisifed because they hope to find the most suitable designer handbag to put all wardrobes in. which is why we offer a 30 day no hassle fashion jewelry return policy. When you purchase a handbag or purse from Handbag Heaven rest assured C you are in excellent hands!. from an article by Time's Bryan Walsh on the lessons of the Deepwater Horizon oil spill,
