When it comes to creating a custom neon sign, most people focus on the text, font, and color of the light itself. But there’s one important detail that can make a big difference in the final look of your sign: the backboard.
Yes, you can choose both the shape and color of the neon sign backboard—and it’s an essential part of designing a sign that perfectly fits your space and brand style. In this blog, we’ll guide you through your options and what to consider when customizing your neon sign’s backboard.
Why Does the Backboard Matter?
The backboard is the surface that supports the neon tubes. While it may seem like a small detail, it plays a key role in the appearance, stability, and installation of your sign. The right backboard can enhance your sign's visibility, blend with your interior decor, or make your brand logo pop.
Backboard Style
We use premium acrylic backboards to maintain the shape of LED neon tubing. Our standard backboards come in rectangular, cut-around, and cut-close options.
Cut to Shape
The backboard will be shaped in line with the letters. It offers great support and a modern appearance.
Cut to Rectangle
The rectangular backboard offers the highest stability and is ideal for outdoor use.
Cut to Letter
This minimal design follows the exact shape of the letters, perfect for interior decor.
Free-Standing
Perfect for events or home decor. Lightweight and easy to move.
Custom Shapes
Need a unique backboard like a heart or other shape? We’ve got you covered.
Invisible Backboard
Made of metal, nearly invisible for a sleek look. Only suitable for wall-mounting and small signs.
Backboard Color
We offer a variety of backboard colors including clear, white, black, gold, and silver.
Clear Backboard
A classic choice that makes the neon letters appear to float. Perfect for a clean, modern look.
White Backboard
Reflects light to enhance brightness. Ideal for crisp, vibrant signage.

Adds a luxurious and eye-catching shine. Ideal for upscale or glamorous settings.
Silver Backboard

UV Printing
We can also print the pattern you want on the backboard by UV printing.
UV printing is a powerful method of incorporating crisp and vibrant images or text into your custom neon sign.
In addition to the acrylic and metal backboards mentioned above, we also offer more backboard options, such as wooden backboards. If you have specific requirements regarding the material, color, or any other aspect of the backboard, please feel free to contact us for customizations.
Conclusion
The backboard style and color are just as important as the neon text itself. Whether you’re creating a statement piece for your home, business, or event, customizing your backboard ensures your sign stands out in both style and substance.
