From mini aluminum letters to UL-certified raceways that can simplify installation, these new developments are designed to help sign shops deliver more customized solutions. Whether you're focused on streamlining production, expanding your product portfolio, or improving long-term ROI for clients, here’s what you need to know about the latest advances in Fabricated Metal Letters.

1. New, Small Aluminum Letters at Petite Sizes

We now offer small fabricated aluminum letters as small as 3 inches. These small aluminum letters range from 3″–12″ in height and up to 3″ in depth, making them ideal for applications where space is limited but dimension and visual presence matter.  

Available in both lit and non-lit styles, these letters are up to 50% lighter than their stainless steel counterparts, allowing lightweight signage that’s easier to handle, mount, and ship.

2. UL-Certified Raceways to Simplify Installation

Sign professionals know that time on-site translates to labor cost and scheduling complexity. That’s why we’ve introduced UL-certified raceways—a game-changing improvement that can streamline the installation process. 

Once your sign arrives, your team can move straight to mounting, with no additional letter alignment or wiring required. Fabricated Metal letters are pre-assembled to the raceway, reducing operational complexity so you can scale efficiently. Our raceways are available in widths from 27 to 96 inches, with multi-piece configurations available for larger projects. You can also specify custom paint colors for seamless visual integration with the installation surface.

3. Custom-Printed Vinyl Adds Vibrancy

For sign shops aiming to differentiate their offerings and push creative boundaries, add custom-printed vinyl on fabricated metal faces. Vinyl allows you to apply full-color designs, gradients, and branding elements directly to the face of metal letters, all while maintaining the durability and elegant profile of Fabricated Metal Letters.

Available on letters and logos from 2 to 50 inches, this solution is perfect for projects that demand strong brand alignment and high visual impact. By combining a vinyl face with metal returns, shops can deliver a premium product with high design flexibility. All custom-printed vinyl applications are backed by Gemini’s lifetime guarantee, ensuring performance and longevity.

UL-certified raceways with pre-assembled letters make it possible.  

These updates allow shops to offer more signage customization options without introducing new production challenges or requiring new equipment, all backed by our Lifetime Guarantee. In an industry where margin pressure is real, Fabricated Metal Letters are superior in durability and long-term value. Whether specifying a simple sign or a national brand rollout, you can offer clients a solution that performs for the long haul, making it a wise investment and a low-maintenance burden for your business.
