Custom neon sign pricing isn't one flat number — it depends on a handful of factors that change from order to order. Understanding them helps you design something that fits your budget the first time, instead of getting a quote back that's a surprise.
The single biggest factor is how much LED neon tubing your design needs — a short single word costs less than a long script phrase or a large logo, simply because more tubing, more silicone and more labor go into it.
A single-color sign uses one continuous run of LED neon. Multi-color designs need separate runs wired and controlled independently, which adds both material and assembly time.
Intricate script fonts, small details and tight curves take more time to cut, bend and wire by hand than a simple bold font — complexity affects labor even when the overall size is similar.
Most signs mount on a cut acrylic backboard, and the shape, size and finish of that backboard (clear, colored, cut-to-shape vs. rectangle) affects the final price alongside the neon itself.
Because these factors interact, the only reliable way to get a real price is to build your actual design — our design tool prices your sign live as you type your text, pick a font and choose your size, so the number you see is the number you'd pay.
