Raceway sign systems

What is a raceway?

A raceway is the narrow metal cabinet behind the channel letters. It holds the electrical components and gives your installer one mounted structure to attach to the building instead of mounting and wiring every letter individually.

  • Fewer wall penetrations than individually mounted letters
  • Wiring and power supplies are contained in one structure
  • Helpful for larger signs, difficult walls, or landlord requirements

Cleaner wiring access

The raceway contains the wiring and power supplies, which can simplify raceway letter mounting for many installers.

Built for exterior signs

Raceway exterior letters are common for storefronts, shopping centers, restaurants, service businesses, and commercial buildings.

Lit sign options

Raceway LED letters can be front lit, halo lit, or face and halo lit depending on your brand and visibility needs.

Other mounting options

Raceway is not the only way to mount channel letters.

Some storefronts are better suited for individual EZLit letters, halo reverse letters, or face and halo letters without a raceway. If you are not sure which channel letter mounting style fits your building, our team can help you compare options before you order.

Raceway channel letter questions

Answers before you order.

What are raceway channel letters?+
Raceway channel letters are custom LED letters and logo shapes mounted to a narrow metal cabinet called a raceway. The raceway attaches to the wall and contains the wiring and power supplies.
What is a raceway mounted sign?+
A raceway mounted sign uses a horizontal metal box behind the letters so the sign can be installed as one system instead of wiring each letter separately through the wall.
When should I choose channel letters on a raceway?+
Raceway mounting is often a good fit for larger storefront signs, walls with limited interior access, buildings where fewer holes are preferred, or projects where the installer wants simpler wiring access.
Can raceway LED letters be front lit, halo lit, or both?+
Yes. Raceway LED channel signs can be face lit, halo lit, or face and halo lit depending on the look you want for your storefront.
Are raceway storefront signs custom built?+
Yes. SignMonkey builds custom raceway channel letters to match your logo, typography, colors, mounting needs, and building requirements.
How much do custom channel letter signs cost?+
Channel letter sign pricing depends on size, letter style, lighting, logo complexity, mounting method, and installation needs. You can use our online builder for instant pricing or send your artwork to our team for help.
How fast can SignMonkey build channel letters?+
Many channel letter signs are built in about 5 working days after the order details are approved. Larger signs, unusual designs, high-volume periods, or special requirements can take longer.
Can I install channel letters myself?+
SignMonkey EZLit channel letters are designed to make installation more approachable with full-size patterns, installer-friendly mounting, and simpler power connections. Wall structure, electrical access, permits, and local code still need to be handled correctly.
Do channel letter signs need a permit?+
Many exterior storefront signs require a local sign permit or landlord approval. Requirements vary by city, county, and property, so check with your local building or planning department before installation.
