While Neon Logo Sign briefly fell out of fashion, they have made a resurgence, particularly in the art and architecture world. The resurgence has also brought them back to the forefront of commercial signs because their steady, colorful light has a piercing quality and therefore a high visual impact. Rather than creating entire signs out of the neon, the gas-filled neon glass began to accent signs, bringing attention to the artwork from blocks away. The few businesses that choose neon signs light up the night with distinct primary colors, making them a definite focal point at night.

The 10 types of signs for advertising

There are various methods for classifying Letter Signs For Business, which can be classified according to the materials used, or according to the manufacturing process, or can be classified according to the actual light effects. Different colors can be used to create different effects. IS LED SIGN is here to divide them into the following 10 types:

1. Stainless Steel Frontlit Channel Letters (with trim caps)

The Frontlit Channel Letters shell can be made of mirror stainless steel or brush stainless with normal SS color or gold color. Stainless steel material is beautiful, elegant, long life, weatherproof.
Firstly, we use a machine laser cutting the stainless steel into a letter shape trim cap. Secondly, surrounded the trim with stainless steel strips, and then polished. Thirdly, laser engraving the imported acrylic sheet from the panel, use glass glue fix inside the trims. Finally, install the energy-saving LED light source on the metal backs, and screw it.

2. Galvanized Sheet Frontlit Channel Letters

The difference between the last type is the letter shell material, this type is galvanized sheet, we also call it “iron sheet”. They are always painted PMS colors base on customer’s requests, and that one type will be cheaper than the Stainless Steel one.

3. Aluminum Trimless Frontlit Channel Letters

This Aluminum sign is without the front border which we called trim caps. The front face is only made of acrylic, so it is with more wonderful looks. Besides, the returns also can choose PMS painting if customers have special color needs.

4. Metal Halolit Channel Letters

This kind of Halolit Letters also called “Reverse Lit Letters” or “ Back Lit Letters”. The metal can be stainless steel, aluminum, or galvanized sheet, also can paint colors of PMS. Inside the letters, we install LED modules or LED strips with normal colors of white, yellow, red, and green.

5. Frontlit and Halolit Channel Letters

The Front and Back Lit Channel Letters are a combination of Frontlit channel letters with Backlit channel letters, transfer lights both from front face and backs. There is one sheet inside the letters, which install with LED lights on the double side, so the color of front light can be different with the backlight. The metal can use different materials of galvanized sheet, stainless steel, or aluminum.

6. Acrylic LED Channel Letters

Acrylic is the material for front face and side returns, the difference from the above sign letters is acrylic letters light not only from the Front face but from the side edge, we also call it Edge Lit Acrylic Letters.  If customers have a special color need, IS LED SIGN often sticks colored vinyl on the front face.

The material can be Stainless steel, Aluminum, or Galvanized sheets with painting colors, the LED can be single colors of Red, Green, White, Yellow, or RGB LED.

9. Non-illuminated Signs

This type can be solid PVC / Acrylic cutting straightly, and painting colors, they also can be Fabricated by Stainless steel, Aluminum, or Galvanized sheets.

There are two kinds of Neon Signs, one is Glass Tube Neon Sign, the other is the new style of PVC tube Custom LED Neon Signs. It can be customized as various shapes of the logo, any font letters, and fix on the acrylic backboards or steel frame.

Many people like the glass one because it is vintage style, it is suited for the heavy metal Café / Bars. But the Flexible Neon LED Sign is more environmentally protection, people can use it for Home Decoration.
