01 — The basics

What is acrylic signage?

Acrylic signage is any sign made from acrylic, a clear, durable plastic also called Perspex or Plexiglass. It is cut, printed, or layered into letters, logos, boards, and lightboxes. We use cast acrylic, which laser-cuts cleaner than extruded grades. Acrylic passes up to 92% of light, so it glows evenly when lit, and it holds colour indoors and outdoors.

An acrylic signboard can be plain, UV-printed, or built up in 3D. It suits everything from a small door sign to a large logo wall.

Why businesses choose acrylic signs

92%

light transmission through acrylic, so lit signs glow evenly

Acrylic gives a clean, premium look for less than metal, and it lasts for years indoors or outdoors. A FedEx Office survey found that 68% of consumers say a company’s signage reflects the quality of its products or services. They read as sharp and modern. Acrylic is light, easy to shape, and simple to mount, which keeps the cost down.

03 — What we make

Types of acrylic signs we make

We make every acrylic sign type in-house, from flat boards to 3D cutout letters and lightboxes. Here are the main ones.

3D acrylic cutout signs and letters

We laser-cut 2D and 3D acrylic cutout signs, from flat die-cut letters to built-up, box-type, and channel letter forms. These give real depth for logos and brand names on a wall.

Acrylic logo and logo wall signs

An acrylic logo or acrylic logo wall sign turns a reception or feature wall into brand space. We colour-match a custom acrylic logo sign to your exact brand.

Acrylic lightbox and illuminated signs

An acrylic lightbox is a lit sign with an LED-backed acrylic face. We build backlit, front-lit, edge-lit, and push-through options, plus no-light versions for daytime spaces.

Acrylic neon signs

Acrylic neon signs use flexible LED neon on a clear acrylic backing. They suit weddings, events, cafes, and feature walls, with a warm glow and no glass to break.

Acrylic table, desk, and stand signs

We make acrylic table signs, table-top holders, and an acrylic sign stand for desks and counters. These suit reception desks, events, and displays.

Acrylic wall and door signs

Acrylic wall and door signs label offices, meeting rooms, and toilets, part of our office signage range. We mount them on spacers, bolts, or screws for a clean floating look.

Custom acrylic box and shaped signs

A custom acrylic box sign, round or circle shapes, and hanging or ceiling-hung signs give you a custom shape for any space. We make custom acrylic signs for business of every kind.

Outdoor acrylic letters

We make weatherproof acrylic letters for outdoor signs, using UV-resistant acrylic that holds colour in the Dubai sun. Outdoor letters visible from a road need a Dubai Municipality permit, which we handle. See our outdoor signage page.

04 — Options

Lighting options

Acrylic signs come backlit, front-lit, edge-lit, push-through, or with no light at all. Here is what each does.

05 — Specification

Finishes, materials, and specifications

We make acrylic signs in clear, frosted, mirror, gold, black, and white, with gloss or matte faces. Graphics are UV-printed, vinyl, or hand-painted. Acrylic is lighter and safer than glass, and cheaper than metal, ACP, or panaflex for most indoor signs. Acrylic can scratch, so clean it with a soft microfibre cloth and no ammonia.

Common thicknesses run 3mm, 5mm, 8mm, and 10mm. We use 10mm for reception walls, where the extra depth casts a cleaner shadow. For 3D letters we layer or build up to 25mm and more.

How to make and install acrylic signage

You make an acrylic sign in five steps: design, mockup, laser cutting, printing, and installation. Here is how we do it.

Design and mockup

We turn your logo into artwork and send a mockup or sample for approval.

Laser cutting

We laser-cut the acrylic to shape, with clean, polished edges.

Printing

We UV-print or apply vinyl for colour, or paint the back for a solid look.

Lighting

For lit signs, we fit LED modules for backlit, front-lit, or edge-lit effects.

Installation

We mount the sign on standoff spacers, bolts, or adhesive, level and secure.

Notice Callout - DIY Installation

Installing it yourself

To install an acrylic sign yourself, mark the holes from a template, drill, fit the spacers, then push the sign onto the barrels and tighten. We include the fixings and a guide, or our team installs it for you.
