Question j channel source

[netsol]

a large client (large to us, anyway) requested we look into making pricing boards
what they call menu boards, using 1-1/4" polystyrene or sintra strips for product name
& price inserts. looking for a source for J channel and h channel to make these up
backing would be sintra

The wholesale shop that does our dimensional letters once serviced a large water ice chain for about 13 years (and this was about 15 years ago when they stopped). They never used J channel, only C channel for the menu boards. They had tons of it leftover for years after and whenever we needed some the owner would just give it to us.

I just spoke to him and he told me the place he bought it was display products in los angeles, california. he said they had just about every type of plastic channel product you can imagine. He just called me back after re-checking, and told me they are still in business and still making every type available.

Search for sign letter track.

I just did a dozen or so signs with it, bought from a Canadian supplier so I can't help you guys down south! But I spent weeks looking for j and h channel only to have a ton of non related sign stuff pop up, and the stuff I did find was flimsy garbage... Grimco has it (special order up here though) under zip change lettering track.


Both terms pull up a few shops that sell it in USA
