Acrylic is a popular material for lightboxes and illuminated signage, combining light transmission with a clean, consistent appearance. For signmakers and fabricators, it also offers the flexibility needed to create custom lightboxes, illuminated lettering, and display features.
At SAS Supplier Group, we supply a broad range of acrylic sheets to help you find the right option for your next illuminated signage project.
Designed for Illuminated Applications
The right acrylic can make a significant difference to the appearance of an illuminated sign. Translucent and opal acrylics allow light to pass through the sheet while helping create a more even illuminated surface.
Different colours and levels of transparency can also produce different lighting effects, giving designers and signmakers greater flexibility when developing illuminated signage.
A Wide Range of Colours
Lightboxes are often used to create highly visible branded signage, so having access to a broad range of colours is important.
Our acrylic range includes a wide selection of colours and finishes, giving you options for matching brand colours, creating contrast or achieving a particular design aesthetic.
For projects requiring backlighting, selecting the right translucent colour can help achieve the intended appearance when the sign is illuminated.
Easy to Fabricate
Acrylic is well suited to signmaking and fabrication because it can be cut, drilled, routed, polished and formed to create custom components.
This makes it suitable for more than standard rectangular lightboxes. Acrylic can also be fabricated into custom shapes, logos, lettering, and other illuminated features.
Its workability gives fabricators the flexibility to produce designs around the requirements of each project.
Options for Different Lightbox Designs
Whether you're producing a traditional lightbox, retail display, illuminated sign, or custom feature, acrylic can be adapted to suit a variety of applications.
Common uses include:
- Illuminated lightboxes
- Backlit signage
- Channel letters
- Illuminated logos
- Retail displays
- Point-of-sale signage
- Wayfinding and directional signage
- Interior feature lighting
Different acrylic colours, finishes and levels of transparency can be selected depending on how the finished sign needs to look and perform.
Helping You Choose the Right Acrylic
Choosing acrylic for an illuminated application involves more than simply selecting a colour. Sheet thickness, transparency, light transmission, LED positioning and the intended environment can all affect the finished result.
Our acrylic range gives signmakers and fabricators options to suit different project requirements, while our team can help you identify a suitable product for your application.
