Backing Types

    Minimal

    The acrylic backing is cut to the exact shape of your sign and includes acrylic strips for added support.

    This style of backing is very subtle and hardly noticeable, making it ideal for text-based neon signs.

    For the best security and stability, we highly recommend permanently mounting this type of backing on a wall using our screw kit.

    Here are some examples of neon signs with minimal backing:

    Cut To Shape

    This is our most popular backing style! The acrylic backing follows the general shape of your sign, providing good stability and strength.

    The cut-to-shape backing suits all types of neon, including text and pattern designs. Its durable strength makes it the perfect choice for signs that may need to be moved around from time to time.

    This backing type can be easily mounted on a wall using our screw kit, or suspended from the ceiling using the hanging wire kit.

    Here are examples of signs using cut-to-shape backing:

    Full Board

    A full board is an acrylic backing shaped as a square, rectangle, or full circle around your sign. It provides maximum stability and strength to your neon.

    We recommend using a full board backing if you plan to move your sign often, especially for events or work purposes.

    A sign with a full board backing can be mounted on a wall or suspended from the ceiling using our installation kits.

    Here you can see examples of full board signs:

    Boxed

    An open box design uses an additional acrylic board at the front of your neon for added protection.

    We recommend using this backing style in locations where there's a risk of interference to your sign, like accidental touching or tampering. The front acrylic board acts as a protective shield, ensuring your neon remains secure against potential disruptions or physical contact. It's an ideal choice for public spaces or high-traffic areas.

    A boxed neon is specifically designed for wall mounting.
