How They're Made

Ensuring the Quality of Channel Letter Logo Boxes

To build contour logos, we create the overall shape outline and affix with either a colored vinyl application or a digital print for complete customization of a company logo. We make channel letter contour logo boxes up to 25 square feet, because the quality deteriorates above that size. Logos larger than 25 square feet should be made with extrusions or flexible faces, of which DSW does not manufacture.
