Backlit Decal Signs

Backlit decals are an outstanding solution if you need vivid graphics for your illuminated sign that are visible 24/7. These high-quality backlit signs are used indoors as well as outdoors. They are weather-resistant and can last for years with proper care. Decals for backlit signs create a wide spectrum of colors, providing brilliant graphics that entice customers and enhance brand appeal.

These signs are made with translucent vinyl decals that permit light to pass through them. The material to which the decal is applied to is also transparent so that it may be illuminated from the back. The main materials used as a base for backlit signs are acrylic, lexan, glass or other glass-like surfaces. These are transparent materials that provide perfect visibility for back-illuminated signs. 

Backlit decals are used for making light boxes, decorating storefront windows, cinema stands, shop displays and more. We offer custom backlit decals for making illuminated signs for both business and personal needs. 

You can create your envisioned design with our free graphic tool or choose one of our free templates. The design you pick will be printed onto the decal with long-lasting UV protected inks. This method ensures that the print will not fade away over time, retaining its initial look for an extended period.

Custom Backlit Signs

Signs with backlit film are applied in malls, restaurants, museums, industrial institutions or during special events like trade shows or exhibitions. Backlit logo signs are perfect for all establishments that want to get easily noticed by passersby.

If you are looking for a professional visual identity for your brand, backlit signs are a reliable means of branding. 

Since the base material is translucent, the decal graphics become visibly bright when the material is illuminated from behind. Due to our triple-printing technique, the graphics don’t lose their vivid quality with illumination - on the contrary, they become even more striking. 

Backlit decals have photographic-quality prints and can be easily replaced if needed. The images can be applied and removed within minutes depending on the size of the backlit sign. The estimated lifespan of backlit decals is 3+ years with proper placement and care.

Material 

Custom backlit decals are made of highly adhesive translucent vinyl material. The see-through material is perfect for illuminated signs. Backlit film comes in a standard white roll but you can order decals for your backlit signs in custom colors and sizes. Although the material is highly adhesive, it comes off easily without leaving any residue. The minimum size of the material is 6”x6” and the maximum size is 52”x306”.

Printing 

For translucent vinyl printing, we use premium-quality UV inks. During the decal printing process for backlit signage, special UV rays dry the inks and make the print sun-resistant. This method provides a longer lifespan to the print and protects its colors from fading. We use a special triple printing system for illuminated decals. For the first layer, we print the design, then we add a middle layer of white ink and after that, we print another layer of the design. This provides better color density and contrast to the print, giving it a unique brilliance when illuminated.

Cutting

Our backlit decals are cut into custom shapes with a high-precision plotter machine. It offers faultless cuts on self-adhesive and soft materials like translucent vinyl. You can have your decals custom cut into any size and shape. The table of the plotter machine comes with a wide range of specialty tools that make it extremely fast and flexible. Thanks to its advanced toolkit, the machine ensures that your signs are cut with the highest accuracy possible. You can choose from the following cutting options for backlit decals.
