How much does a custom neon sign cost? Color Neon's prices, line by line

Custom LED neon sign by Color Neon with made-to-measure text, lit indoors

On the October 2026 orders detailed below, a single-line custom neon sign from Color Neon, 61 to 120 cm wide, cost between €154.56 and €247.35 including VAT, with delivery included. The price the configurator shows depends first on how much LED tube has to be made, which means the width of the design and the height of the letters, then on the number of characters and the backing options. Mounting accessories, the remote dimmer and the power adapter are part of the price.

What sets the price of a neon sign at Color Neon

The price follows the length of LED tube to shape and fix on the acrylic backing, not only the width you type in. Two recent orders show it: a three-word text 67 cm wide with 8 cm letters, and a single five-letter word 61 cm wide with 25 cm letters, were paid within twenty-three cents of each other. The first spreads little tube over a wide area, the second packs more of it into a short, tall word.

The configurator asks you for five things, and each one weighs on the total. The size, either a preset format such as "Grand" or a custom size in centimetres, with the letter height that follows from it. The text, its orientation and its number of lines. The font and the colour, chosen word by word. The backing, cut to the shape of the design or cut to the letter, with the panel colour (clear is the most frequent choice). Finally the use, indoor or outdoor, and the accessory you pick: a complete wall mounting kit, a suspension kit or a 3 m cable extension.

Three configurations, three prices paid in October 2026

The configurator calculates the price live in your browser, and we cannot read it back here automatically. So we quote three orders placed through the configurator between 22 and 26 October 2026, exactly as they are recorded in our shop. The customers' texts are not reproduced; everything else is faithful to the order. Prices include French VAT, and delivery was free.

Text Size Font and colour Backing Accessory chosen Price incl. VAT
Three short words on one line (11 letters) 67 × 8 cm, 8 cm letters, custom size Flick, orange Custom cut, clear panel 3 m cable extension €154.56
One five-letter word 61 × 25 cm, 25 cm letters, "Grand" format Twist, pink Cut to the letter, clear panel Complete wall mounting kit €154.79
Two words on one line (9 letters) 120 × 21 cm, 21 cm letters, custom size Wave, white Custom cut, clear panel Suspension kit €247.35

A quick reading: going from one word at 61 cm to two words at 120 cm, with a comparable letter height, raised the bill by about 60 %. The first two lines sit within a few cents of each other although the dimensions look very different, because the final length of tube is close. To get a price for your own text, type it into the custom neon sign configurator with the letter height you want: the amount appears before any payment step, and you can change the size or the font as many times as you like.

What the price includes

The product page, read on 29 October 2026, lists what ships with every sign: the wall mounting (a pre-drilled backing, screws, wall plugs and 3M adhesive for small sizes), the remote with dimmer and flashing modes, the suspension kit, the 12 V CE adapter and a 3 m clear cable. The backing is 8 mm acrylic. The warranty is 24 months. Delivery is free, in 5 to 7 working days, production and delivery included. The stated lifespan goes up to 100,000 hours.

Wall mounting kit supplied with a Color Neon sign
The wall mounting kit is one of the accessories delivered with the sign, together with the remote dimmer and the 12 V adapter.

Two add-ons exist in the catalogue, at prices read the same day: a replacement 12 V 5 A (60 W) power supply at €39 and an RGB controller with remote at €49. The waterproof IP68 version, for a sign placed outside, is an option in the configurator; its effect on the price appears the moment you tick "Extérieur".

The backing: 8 mm acrylic, custom cut or cut to the letter

Both cuts appear in the orders above at neighbouring price levels, and it is the shape of the text that guides the choice. A custom cut follows the overall outline of the design; a cut to the letter traces each character and leaves less acrylic visible. A thin or widely spaced text stays sturdier on a custom cut. If you are still deciding how large the sign should be, our guide to choosing a neon sign size for your wall shows how to compare three compositions with paper templates before you order.

Every Color Neon sign is built on 8 mm acrylic; the cut you choose changes what you see around the letters.

Business logos: why they are quoted individually

A logo has no standard font and no standard letter height, and its outline alone decides the length of tube, the number of segments and the cut of the backing. The configurator cannot price it without drawing it first. The logo page describes the process in three steps: you share your ideas, sketches or inspirations, you receive a digital mock-up to see the sign before it exists, then you approve the quote before production starts. The stated lead time is the same as for a text, 5 to 7 working days, delivery free. We explain what makes a logo file easy to turn into a sign in how to turn your logo into a neon sign.

For a business: quote, mock-up, invoice

The prices shown by the configurator include French VAT at the standard rate of 20 % (economie.gouv.fr, page dated 11 December 2025), which gives, for example, €206.13 excluding VAT for the 120 cm sign paid €247.35. If your company recovers VAT, give your company name, billing address and VAT number when you ask for the quote, so that the invoice is issued in the right name the first time. For a project with a logo, attach the cleanest file you have, ideally a vector file, and the colours of your brand guidelines. We have gathered these points on a one-page sheet you can tick off: Download the pre-quote checklist (PDF).

Frequently asked questions

Does the colour change the price?

In the three orders quoted, orange, pink and white appear at amounts explained by size and text. The configurator shows the price for the colour you select before payment; if you hesitate between two shades, compare them directly in it.

How much does a four-letter word at 70 cm cost?

An order from 19 October 2026 gives a reference point: a four-letter word in the Flick font, red, 70 × 20 cm, cut to the letter on a clear panel, with a 3 m cable extension, for indoor use, cost €161.91 including VAT.

Does an RGB sign cost more?

The RGB controller with remote is sold separately, €49 at the time of writing. The rest of the price follows the same rules as a single-colour sign. Mention your RGB project from the first request so that the workshop plans the right control.

Is delivery included?

Yes. The product page states free delivery in 5 to 7 working days, production and delivery included. The prices in the table above are therefore final prices for a delivery address in France.

Is the price shown by the configurator final?

For a text, yes: it is the amount you pay, and it does not move as long as you do not change the configuration. For a logo or a drawn shape, the amount is set by the quote that comes with the mock-up.

Before you settle on a size, it is worth taping paper templates of two or three widths on the wall and looking at them from the door: the width that looks right on screen is not always the one that reads best from a distance, and it is the one that decides the price. You can then test your text with the letter height you have chosen, and ask for a mock-up if you want to see the drawing before ordering. Lire cet article en français.
