How Much Do Custom Neon Signs Cost in Canada?

If you're looking to design your own custom neon sign in Canada, one of the first questions on your mind is likely: How much will it cost? At EasyNeonSigns, we pride ourselves on transparent pricing. The cost of a custom LED neon sign can range widely depending on the choices you make in our design builder. In this guide, we'll break down all the options — from text and fonts to size and extras — and explain how each affects the price of your custom neon sign.

1. Text Length and Design Complexity 📜

What you write matters. The content of your sign (the text or design) is the starting point for pricing. In our builder, you simply enter the text you want for your neon sign. The price is primarily determined by the amount of LED neon tubing required to create your design. Longer phrases or designs with more characters will use more material and therefore cost a bit more than a short word or initials. Similarly, very complex logos or graphics may require additional detailing. (If you have a custom logo or artwork, you can send it to us for a personalized quote – we provide free mock-ups and quotes for logo-based designs.) Overall, keeping your text concise can help keep the cost down, but don’t be afraid to get the exact message or design you want. We’ll work within your budget to create something amazing.

2. Font Style Selection 🎨

Choosing a font from our library of 50+ typefaces is a fun part of the design process. Does font affect price? Generally, the price difference between font styles is minimal; all fonts are priced based on the total length of LED neon needed to form the letters. However, script or cursive fonts might connect letters together, potentially using slightly less tubing than block letters that are spaced apart. On the other hand, very ornate or bold fonts might make each letter larger or wider, using more material. The good news is that we don’t charge extra just for picking a specific font – feel free to choose the style that best fits your vision. Any price change you see when switching fonts is simply due to how the letters are shaped and sized (and thus how much neon tubing is required). Our builder will automatically update the price as you try different styles, so you can see the impact immediately.

3. Neon LED Color Choice 🌈

One of the coolest parts of creating a custom neon sign is picking the LED neon color. EasyNeonSigns offers a vibrant palette of colors, from classic Warm White and Red to exotic hues like Deep Pink, Electric Blue, or even an RGB Color-Changing option. Does color affect cost? For the most part, choosing a standard single color does not change the price – so go wild and pick your favorite! All our colors (about a dozen+ options) are priced the same in a given design. The only time color might influence cost is if you opt for something special like the RGB color-changing feature or a design that uses multiple colors in one sign. Those cases can be a bit more expensive due to extra components (like a controller for color-changing effects). But if you’re sticking to one of our many single-color LED options, you can select any hue you love without worrying about an added charge.

4. Sign Size Options 📏

Size is one of the biggest factors in pricing. We offer several standard size categories for custom neon signs, ranging from petite to gigantic. Larger signs use more LED neon flex and larger acrylic backing, which naturally increases the cost. At EasyNeonSigns, you can choose sizes from Mini (about 23" width) all the way up to 4XL (over 9 feet wide!). To give you an idea of pricing for different sizes, here’s a breakdown of our size options and their approximate costs:

*Pricing note: The base prices above are before any additional discounts. We often run promotions (like the 20% off sale shown), so you can save significantly on these prices. The actual cost of your sign will depend on the exact dimensions of your design – these sizes are standard examples, accurate within 1-2 inches.

As you can see, a small custom neon sign might be only a few hundred dollars, while an extra-large showpiece can run into the thousands. The beautiful thing about our Custom Neon Signs is that you have full control: our online design tool will update the price instantly as you adjust the size. This way, you can find the perfect balance between impact and budget. Whether you need a mini sign for home décor or a massive neon logo for your business, we’ll make sure you get the best value for the size you choose.

5. Indoor vs. Outdoor Use ☂️

Will your sign live indoors, or do you plan to display it outside? Indoor signs are our default and are perfect for homes, events, and most business uses. If you need your sign to be outdoor-friendly, we can build it with waterproofing and weather-resistant materials. There is a small additional cost for outdoor-ready construction – at EasyNeonSigns we charge a flat +\$65 to make any sign suitable for outdoor use. This upgrade covers sealing and protecting the LED tubing and electrical components so your sign can handle rain and weather. It’s a worthwhile investment if your sign will be exposed to the elements (for example, a storefront sign or an open-air event sign). Keep in mind, if you do use an indoor-rated sign outdoors without the proper waterproofing, it could damage the sign and void the warranty. So, if there’s any chance of exposure, let us know and we’ll make it outdoor-ready for that small fee. Other than the \$65 modification, there’s no difference in appearance or brightness – your outdoor sign will look just as stunning as an indoor one, just built tougher!

6. Acrylic Backboard Shape 💠

Every neon sign needs a backing to support the LED tubing. We mount our custom neon on a clear acrylic backboard (or panel) that is laser-cut to shape. The shape of the backboard can affect the look, but how does it affect the cost? At EasyNeonSigns, it doesn’t – we include any backboard style at no extra charge. You have three options for the acrylic backing shape:

• Cut to Shape: the acrylic is contoured around the outline of your text/design (most popular for a clean, subtle look).
• Cut to Letter: each letter or element is individually cut out (great for minimal visible backing, each piece has its own backing).
• Cut to Square/Rectangle: a solid rectangular (or sometimes circular) panel behind the sign (some prefer this for a certain aesthetic or easier mounting).

Some sign makers charge extra for more intricate cuts, but we offer Cut-to-Shape, Cut-to-Letter, or Cut-to-Square all for free. So choose the style that you like best – it won’t change the price. The only consideration is purely visual and practical: for instance, Cut to Letter results in multiple separate pieces (one per letter) which can be a bit trickier to align when mounting, whereas Cut to Shape or Square keeps everything in one piece. But again, no cost difference – it's entirely up to your preference.

7. Backboard Color Options 🎨

In addition to shape, you can also pick a backboard color/finish. The standard is a clear transparent acrylic, which makes the neon look like it's floating on the wall. However, we also offer colored backboards: Glossy White, Glossy Black, Gold, or Silver acrylic backgrounds. You might choose a colored backboard to match your decor or to make the sign's backing part of the design. The great news is all our backboard color options are offered free of charge as well. Whether you want that classic clear look or a bold black backdrop behind your neon, it won’t affect your total cost. This is another area where EasyNeonSigns adds value – many competitors might upcharge for premium acrylic colors, but we believe you should customize your sign completely without worrying about nickeling-and-diming for things like backboard color. So go ahead and pick the option that complements your sign best!

8. Extra Accessories and Features 🔌

Every EasyNeonSigns order comes with certain essentials included, like the appropriate power adapter and basic installation accessories. We also include a 2-year warranty standard with all custom signs. However, there are a couple of extras you might consider which can affect the price slightly:

• Wall Mounting Kit: Our neon signs are easy to hang or mount. If you plan to secure the sign to a wall, you might want our mounting hardware kit, which is available for a small fee (usually around \$15). This kit includes screws, stand-offs, and everything needed to professionally mount your sign.
• Remote Dimmer: Want to adjust the brightness or turn the sign on/off conveniently? A remote control dimmer unit is a popular add-on. Right now, we’re actually including a remote and dimmer free of charge as a special offer! (Normally, this might be an extra cost, but we love to add bonuses for our customers whenever possible. Be sure to check if the promotion is still active when you order.)

Aside from these, there are no hidden fees. Shipping is free Canada-wide, and the LED neon technology is very energy-efficient (so it won’t run up your electric bill). Everything needed to enjoy your sign is included — even the smiles when you first light it up 😊.

9. Take Advantage of Discounts 💸

Everyone loves getting a great deal. At EasyNeonSigns, we run promotions like 20% off sales and seasonal discounts to make our custom neon signs even more affordable. If you have a discount code, you can apply it at checkout for additional savings. The prices you see in our builder don’t yet include any promo codes, so if we list a sale price (like those 20% off figures in the table above), you could save even more with a code. We also believe in giving our customers the best value in the market – if you happen to find a better price for the same quality and specifications, let us know. We will match or beat any legitimate competitor quote because we’re confident in our quality and pricing. Between our ongoing promos, free extras, and price-beat guarantee, you can be sure you’re getting the most bang for your buck.
