Backlit Decals

We offer design services with prices ranging from $10 to $20 with two free mock-ups. The amount paid for the design service will be credited back upon placing the order for the product. Please send us the design through Contact Us or you may also reach out to us via phone 1-888-222-4929 or live-chat, so we could check your design, as we may not be able to accommodate requests involving extensive design work, such as complex logo or image creation..

I recommend that the material where the backlit decals will stick must be purchased separately. The acrylic signs would have a different effect than what you plan to have or do.

Currently, we do not offer the light box to go with these signs nor do we provide specific recommendations for on how to setup the light box. No worries, you may install to a rigid backlit surface or light box panel and you’ll be pleased with the result when using a backlit decal on an existing light box or light source.

Backlit decals are the perfect option for these. They are removable and have enough strength to stay up when installed outside. This can also be vibrant during the day. The vibrancy of the design would depend on the actual design itself.

We print the backlit decals on semi-translucent vinyl that adheres to light boxes, storefront windows, and other smooth, translucent surfaces.

Leaving some of the areas transparent won't be possible for backlit decals. I would suggest checking our clear window clings cause they would have an option to make some areas clear.

A backlit sign is typically one that is placed in front of a light source. The sign itself will be semi-translucent to allow the light to shine through and illuminate whatever may be printed on the sign.

The most common setup is a light box that consists of a light source within a structure that in some way accommodates a rigid piece of material to be placed or slid into it. You often see these roadside advertising small businesses. The sign itself can either be printed onto a milky white rigid material or a vinyl overlay that is applied to the light box or setup.

Our backlit sign uses the vinyl overlay or decal approach. This means that your sign will be printed onto a piece of adhesive vinyl and can be applied to a translucent rigid material for a light box, window or other surface that has a light source behind it. The material itself is called FLEXcon LITEcal and is a durable material that provides light diffusion and ultimately gorgeous signs.

All of the FAQ on this page will deal with the backlit film we offer and not the alternative solution of printing on a translucent rigid sign or a similar signage solution.

The backlit decal is 3.5 mil (.0035 inches) thick, like a few sheets of printer paper stacked together.

There are several different shapes you can choose from for your backlit decal including Square/Rectangle, Rounded Corners (¼” or 1” radius), and Circle/Oval. You can also choose Custom or Custom with Border.

The Custom shape option allows you to either upload a specific shape to our design tool or have us personalize a shape based on your design. Meanwhile, Custom with Border shape, also known as Halo Cut, adds a thin border around the edge of your design.

Due to the size allowed by our industrial printers, your backlit decal can’t be smaller than 8” x 8” and larger than 60” x 400”.
