Update messages easily and economically with attractive changeable letter signs 

Changeable letter signs and interchangeable track letters from Signs By Tomorrow Elgin are a perfect solution for schools, churches, stores, restaurants and any other kind of business in Elgin. If you need a sign that makes it easy to frequently post updated messages, this type of sign is ideal for you. Use them to inform your customers of new hours, promote an upcoming special event, or highlight a new product or service! 

Changeable letter signs – also called reader boards or marquee letter signs – are often incorporated into other outdoor signs such as monument signs, pylon signs or post-and-panel signs. Some changeable letter signs are portable, while others can be mounted on wheeled trailers as a mobile signage solution. No matter what your needs may be, chances are there’s an option that works for you! 

What are changeable letter signs made out of? 

Constructed of weather-resistant metal and fronted by a translucent, polycarbonate panel, the changeable letter signs by Signs By Tomorrow Elgin can stand up to tough outdoor weather, including wind, rain and harsh sunlight. 

The polycarbonate panels feature tracks on which you’ll be able to mount individual letters and numbers to spell out any important messages. Most feature lockable covers to help keep your track lettering and your message safe and secure from theft or mischief.  

You'll also have the option to have your sign backlit by LEDs or other lighting options to ensure it can be seen throughout the evening. Backlighting helps to attract attention and improve the readability of your messages at dawn, dusk, overnight, or simply on an overcast day. 

What kind of track letters can I use? 

Available in a variety of type fonts, sizes and colors, letter packages are offered separately from the sign. Sets typically include letters, numerals and punctuation along with plenty of extras to replace those that inevitably go missing over time. 

At Signs By Tomorrow Elgin, we’ll work with you to determine the best style of changeable letters for your signage selection and budget. Your choices include: 

  • Flat letters: Your most basic style that can easily slide into your changeable letter board sign. 
  • Flexible letters: You’ll bend each before positioning them in a system known as “Texas tracking.” 
  • Three-dimensional letters: These give your message an extra dimension, and are slotted for mounting on tracks. 

How do changeable letter signs compare to LED signage? 

Think of changeable letter signs and interchangeable track letters from Signs By Tomorrow Elgin as the low-tech, lower-cost solution. They allow you to update messages, but you’ll do it by hand! 

In contrast, LED signs are the high-tech, higher-price option. With these dynamic, digital message boards, you can program multiple messages remotely from a wireless remote keyboard, smartphone or your computer. Your custom messages, including simple graphics and featuring different colors, can scroll across the signboard for greater visual appeal.  

However, both sign options are great choices for when you need to capture attention, inform your community of any changes your business is going through, or promote upcoming events or sales. Despite how popular digital signs are, changeable letter boards remain a tried-and-true classic that still sees plenty of use today!
