"How much is a neon sign?" is the question we hear most. The honest answer: it depends on size, how detailed the design is, and what type of sign you need. This guide breaks down real price ranges for custom LED neon signs in Australia, what drives the cost up or down, and what's included in the price, so you can plan your budget before you design.
Quick answer: most custom LED neon signs for the home, weddings and parties cost between $199 and $700 AUD depending on size. Business logo signs start from around $288, and premium 3D metal letter signs start from $500. Shipping is free.
What affects the price of a custom neon sign?
1. Size
Size is the biggest factor. Our signs come in sizes from around 50cm up to 150cm wide. A 50cm name sign for a bedroom sits at the entry price point, while a 120-150cm wedding backdrop sign uses much more LED neon strip and a larger acrylic backboard, so it costs more.
2. Number of letters and lines
A one-word sign like a name is simpler than a two-line quote. More letters means more neon to bend and more hand-finishing. If you want a long phrase, splitting it over two lines usually keeps the sign compact and better value.
3. Colours
Single-colour signs are the most affordable. Two-tone designs (for example a pink script name with a white block-letter word underneath) need extra work. RGB colour-changing options cost a little more again, but let you switch colours with a remote.
4. Icons and artwork
Hearts, stars and simple icons add very little. Detailed logos and illustrations take more design time and more neon, which is why business logo signs are priced separately.
5. Backboard style
Clear acrylic cut to a rectangle is standard. "Cut to shape" backboards that follow the outline of your letters look more premium. Coloured, mirrored or UV-printed backboards are also available for a bolder finish.

How to get the best value
- Measure your wall first. Bigger isn't always better. A 60-80cm sign is plenty for most bedroom and lounge walls.
- Keep it short. One or two words make the biggest visual impact for the price.
- Use the dimmer. You don't need a bigger sign for more glow. The dimmer lets you set the mood.
- Order early for events. Leave at least 2-3 weeks before a wedding or party.
FAQ
Why is LED neon cheaper than glass neon?
Traditional glass neon is hand-blown, fragile and uses high voltage. LED neon flex is safer, lighter, uses less power and is far more affordable to make and ship.
