Question Is there a perforated channel letter coil available?

Hey all, been a while. We have a customer who wants a channel letter with a lighted return. I know I've seen a few examples here and there of perforated metal returns on channel letters - does anyone know if there is a coil available for that? We make all our letters in-house, we have an SDS Channel Bender XP.

I'm not sure what model SDS you have, but ours can punch a pattern for perforated returns. You can draw your desired hole pattern then it does the rest.

I'm curious, is this punching the tiny .040 diameter holes akin to perf vinyl? I can't imagine that being a profitable process vs buying perforated coil...

It punches 1/4 inch or 1/8 holes. Yes I buy coils of perforated for large projects, but for small ones it makes more sense to punch them on the machine.
