NEON TEXT CREATOR INSTRUCTIONS

DESIGN CUSTOM NEON SIGN TEXTS

Using the neon text creator app

Design captivating text-based neon signs with our neon text creator app. Write your text, then choose a font and a color you like. The app will show you a live preview of the sign. The price will update in real time depending on the size and options you choose.

How do I hang it up?

All signs come with a ready-to-use screw hanging kit.

If you don't want to drill into your walls, you can opt to include adhesive strips in your order. With adhesive strips you'll be able to place your sign on any smooth surface without causing damage or marks.

Backing options

A clear acrylic backing provides a glassy look with more impact resistance than glass itself.

You have two simple options for the backing shape:

  • Cut to shape (follow the shape of the text)
  • Square (cut square around the text)

Color options

We offer 16 colors, some of which have two "tubing color" variations. The tubing color refers to the color of the LED neon tubing when the sign is off, with a choice between "color-matching" and white.

You can compare the color options in the neon text builder app.

Font options

You have a variety of fonts to select from. Some fonts are larger and/or more complex than others, which affects the price.

If you want to use a custom font, you can send us an example of your text and font by filling the custom design form.
