What Is a Cut-to-Letter Acrylic Backboard LED Neon Sign?
A cut-to-letter acrylic backboard is a type of backing material used in LED neon signs, featuring a precision-cut style that forms the structural and visual foundation of the design. At Manhattan Neons®, each backboard is custom-cut using CNC machines to match the exact shape and style of your design—whether it’s letters, logos, or custom graphics. This process ensures clean, sharp edges and well-defined text or artwork for a professional finish.
Durable Material with Structural Support
Our cut-to-letter LED neon signs are crafted from durable, clear acrylic plastic. The backboard acts as a sturdy, lightweight support while also ensuring that the flexible LED tubing retains its shape over time. Acrylic backboards are available in thicknesses ranging from 2mm to 10mm, offering strength without adding excessive weight. At Manhattan Neons®, we can accommodate single backboards up to 240cm x 120cm, and for larger signs, we provide multi-panel configurations with seamless integration upon customer approval.

Energy-Efficient and Visually Impactful
LED acrylic signs are both energy-efficient and long-lasting, making them an eco-friendly alternative to traditional neon. They offer a vibrant, attention-grabbing glow that enhances visibility and aesthetics, making them perfect for both commercial branding and decorative displays.
Precision LED Mounting and Custom Margins
The LED lights are carefully shaped and mounted onto the acrylic base with precision, aligned with consistent spacing for a polished finish. Typical margins across letters or shapes range from 7 to 12 cm, but these can be reduced based on your design requirements. This attention to detail ensures that the cut-out shapes emit a balanced, glowing effect.
Versatile Acrylic Finishes and Color Options
To complement a wide range of interior styles and themes, Manhattan Neons® offers acrylic sheets in various finishes:
- Silver (mirror finish)
- Golden (mirror finish)
- Clear
- Glossy black
- White
We also provide the option to apply a 0.8mm golden or silver sheet on clear acrylic, based on customer preference, for added elegance and distinction.
Enhanced Light Diffusion and Professional Appearance
The professionally finished acrylic surface not only elevates the visual appeal of the sign but also enhances light diffusion. This ensures a consistent and readable glow across textured, colored, or patterned backgrounds, making the sign effective in a wide range of environments.
The Ideal Fusion of Craftsmanship and Technology
By blending custom CNC-cut acrylic craftsmanship with modern LED lighting technology, Manhattan Neons® delivers signage solutions that are practical, efficient, and visually refined—ideal for clients who value quality, creativity, and impact.
