Illuminated signs

Types of illuminated signs

• Light boxes – single or double-sided cabinets with a translucent printed face. See illuminated light boxes.
• Lit channel letters – face-lit or halo-lit 3D letters. See 3D signage.
• Backlit panels and replacement faces – new printed faces for existing light boxes.
• Illuminated pylon panels – see pylon signs.
• Indoor lit signs – reception logos and backlit displays.

Using the filters

Narrow the list with the filters at the top of the category:

• Size – common light box sizes for fascias and projecting signs, or custom dimensions to fit your space.
• Material – acrylic faces that diffuse light evenly, flexible backlit faces for larger boxes, and ACP or metal cabinets.
• Finish – printed or vinyl-applied faces, single or double-sided, with colours specified to look right when lit.
• Turnaround – custom illuminated signs are made to order, so the timeline is confirmed on your quote. Items with a listed price show their lead-time options on the product.

Before you choose

• Power – you need a power supply near the sign. Electrical requirements are discussed on the quote.
• Rules – shopping centres often specify whether and how signs may be lit, and larger external signs may need municipal approval. See signage approvals.
• Is illumination needed? If you only trade in daylight, a non-illuminated sign may be enough. Read illuminated vs non-illuminated signs.
• Artwork for backlighting – tell us the artwork is for a lit sign so colours are checked accordingly.
