Back Lit Signs

Manufacture     -     Install     -     Service


If a sign costs you money it is not doing its job.
It should effectively advertise your Company and earn you money.

Back-Lighted (Back-Lit, Backlit, or Back Lit) Signs


FREE ESTIMATESMany different types of signs can be back-lighted.

The list includes Channel Letters, Cabinet signs, Lobby signs, Storefront signs, plastic signs, etc.

They can be lighted in a variety of ways, including LED lighting and neon lighting.

Click on the Tab in the left column for the type of sign you are considering.

Signs Manufacturing sign company manufactures lighted signs and unlighted signs including road signs and building signs; channel letter signs (lighted with neon or LED), neon signs, wall sign cabinets, pole signs, pylon signs, Monument signs, message centers, video displays architectural signs, metal lettering, plastic lettering, trim-cap lettering and more!

We manufacture more than business signs.  We make, install and service church signs, school signs, apartment signs, park signs, governmental signs, architectural signs, etc; interior signs as well as exterior signs.

"Click" on a tab to learn about that product and our manufacturing processes.  Discover how we make each sign to last; including the use of CNC manufacturing, rust-proof metal, structural-steel frames, high-end automotive paint, high-impact plastics, and most importantly, sophisticated protective coatings.  We even add self-cleaning properties.

We champion energy-saving signs solutions that save our customers money while protecting our environment.  No matter what type of signs you are considering, explore our "Lighting Choices" tab for that product, with its own "Energy Savings" tab.  Solar powered lighting options are included.

If you are considering a Storefront Sign, a Channel Letter Sign, pay particular attention to the MANY different ways we can back-light both the letters, and one or multiple backplates behind the letters!

Guaranteed Highest Quality ... Guaranteed Lowest Price


As detailed below, and on the pages that follow, everything will be done to make your sign look better, and last longer...Guaranteed.

Signs Manufacturing also guarantees that our price will be the lowest price you can obtain on the products described in this website; now or anytime during the next 90 days.

If you are offered a lower price by someone else we will match that lower price PLUS give you 10% of the difference.

We can design and build your next sign while maintaining Social Distancing guidelines


Our showroom is open and sanitized so you can safely review the different options available for your new signage.

Also, we have many options to help design your new look, from collaborating remotely (from your own home bridged to our design team) to designing with you in our Projection Room, which is large enough to maintain Social Distancing.

Are You a "Visual" Person?


It is difficult to picture what a sign is going to look like. What do you picture when we say "triple-layer multi-colored lighting with a textured backplate?"

Our showroom is designed to solve that problem. Most people are visual ... they need to see something firsthand to understand what it is and whether it has value to them. Seeing is believing!

Visit our Showroom to see for yourself.

Don't buy your sign from a drawing, a slick website, or photo-shopped pictures,
when you can actually see and side-by-side compare Real signs and designs.

Visit Our Unique Sign Lighting Laboratory and Demonstration Showroom with LED Video Displays


Unique in the entire sign industry, Signs Manufacturing built an 85’ by 50’ (over 4,000 sq ft) indoor sign lighting laboratory for testing the longevity, visibility, and effectiveness of all the lighted signs we manufacture.

The Laboratory is open to the public, for FREE, adding an LED Video Display Showroom because we realized how important one would be to consumers.

If you are considering purchasing an LED Video Display or Digital LED Message Center sign this exclusive opportunity will be particularly important.  You must determine what type of sign, and which LED spacing is best, so that your sign will be successful, considering how you will use it.

Therefore:

  • at least nine (9) different Full-color LED Display signs, each with a varied resolution

  • a Monochrome LED Message Center sign

  • a 4-thousand-shade single-color LED Message Center sign

  • a fully self-contained, self-powered portable LED Sign trailer, the LED Sled

are always available for you to compare.

We invite you to also observe all other types of signage, viewing them up close as well as from a distance, under varying light conditions (and stay out of the weather while doing so!)

Will your Sodium Vapor or Metal Halide parking lot lights affect the colors of your sign at night?  How visible will your pylon sign’s border neon be during the day?  Should you consider PinLights, LetterLites, SpectraLites, or Trembler signsBrighter Signs neon or SolarBrite LED lighting for channel letter signsFluorescent or HID lighting for your monument sign?  Do Daylight or Cool White fluorescents make your sign’s colors look best?  What are the differences between a flex-faced, a Lexan, and an acrylic-faced sign cabinet?

How will shadows affect my sign's readability during the day?  Should the wall behind my sign be light or dark colored?  Would a different type of sign look better on my brick wall?  Should I consider a routed sign face with push-through letters?

Conserve Your Nest Egg

Don't buy your sign from a drawing, a slick website, or photo-shopped pictures,
when you can actually see and side-by-side compare Real signs and designs.

No one else can offer you this unique opportunity. Be sure to take advantage.

Your business will be better because you do.

If you don't visit it could cost you thousands in sales every year.

Can you afford not to?

"I almost made a huge mistake by not listening to you and visiting your showroom prior to buying my sign.  I thought I knew what I wanted, after listening to so many salespeople...boy, was I wrong.  My vision of the sign did not jibe with what it would really turn out to be, even after viewing so many drawings.  It was obvious the moment I entered the showroom.  If I had stuck to my guns my sign would have been a disaster.  I would have wasted a lot of money."
Cecil Drake, Drake Communications

Let Us Come To You! Your-Location Sales Team's Personalized Service

Let us meet with you in your office, or at your new signs location, or home, or anywhere.

Showroom Specials


Sometimes it really pays to shop.

As an additional enticement to coax you into our showroom, and also smooth our manufacturing flow, we periodically have limited Specials only available "in-store;" even unannounced to our sales team.

They are based on opportunities in our production scheduling.  If we tell our salespeople in advance they collectively sell too many, causing other problems!

Specials are always for a specific type of custom-built sign with a large variety of available options, but a very limited quantity, and first-come-first-served.

Why are “Listed" Signs Critical to You?


Virtually ALL cities, as well as the State of Texas, adopt the National Electric Code as law.

ETL Listing MarkThe National Electric Code (NEC) requires that for electrical, structural, and installation safety all electrical signs be "Listed" (tested and labelled with an appropriate Listing Mark.)

Certification (testing and labeling) organizations acceptable in the USA to test to the multitude of Standards signs are required to meet are determined by OSHA.

For you the Listing Mark is insurance.  It means that the sign has been tested to insure that it is structurally and electrically safe, and will be installed properly.  You benefit from the knowledge that it is not solely us telling you that our signs are safe, this is what the testing laboratories and the US Government says also.

Will your sign be tested and approved for safe use in a Wet (Outdoor) location?  Not if it’s not Listed!

If the sign you are purchasing does not have a ETL or UL Listing Mark label the sign is probably not legal to install, anywhere in Texas.   There are a few local city ordinance exceptions.

Buy carefully.

For more detailed information on "listing and labeling" click on the "Labeled and Listed" tab in the Knowledge Tree tab in the left column.

UL listed Sign Component


Underwriters Laboratories has evaluated our sister products PinLights and LetterLites and they have been approved for use in outdoor, damp and wet location signs.

UL Approval #E345252.

They are the only approved individual LED first-surface lighting products.

As the manufacturer we are very proud of this.

Electric Sign Authority Listed Signs


Good signs require more than sound mechanical and electrical design.Electric Sign Authority Listing Label

While Underwriters Laboratories and other listing companies test and approve mechanical, electrical, and installation aspects of sign manufacturing, only the Electric Sign Authority (ESA) supervises the design, marketing appeal, appearance, and longevity of signs.

Look for the Electric Signs Authority (ESA) Listing Label (right) in the advertising of Sign Companies committed to providing their customers with a better advertising and marketing product that will look good for years.

Our ESA Listing number is:  ESA107474.

Discover how we make signs to last; including the use of CNC manufacturing, rust-proof metal, structural-steel frames, high-end automotive paint, high-impact plastics, and most importantly, sophisticated protective coatings.  All our signs include these many hidden features, critically important to you but often ignored by competitors to lower their cost. We even add self-cleaning properties.

We champion brighter, energy-saving signs solutions that save customers money while protecting our environment.  No matter what type of signs you are considering, please explore our "Lighting Choices" tab for that product, with its own "Energy Savings" tab.

Electrical Sign Design Safety Issues


It is a criminal offense in Texas for a unlicensed individual to design an electrical sign, or an electrical system.  A licensed Master Sign Electrician or Master Electrician is required, or a design company approved by statute, regardless of whether the signs was manufactured within or outside of Texas.  We have both Master types involved in designing our signs.  Our employee's State of Texas Electrical and Sign Master License numbers are:  00002753, 00007305 and 00238434.

If you wonder if a sign-seller can legally design, install and service electrical signs in Texas go to http://www.tdlr.texas.gov/LicenseSearch, enter "Electricians" in the "Inquire by License Type" box and the name of the sign business or person in the "Inquire by Name" box.

Quality Signs Bring You Customers


“Our business was slowly fading away.  We read what your web site says about old signs having a negative effect on a business.  Our sign certainly was old, so we decided to call you and invest in a new sign.  WOW.  Your new sign doubled our business!  Our grand kids thank you.” 
Nancy Jackson, Perfect CleanersMULTIPLE ENVIRONMENTAL AWARDS

Even though a sign may have looked good when new, as it visibly ages it no longer helps you gain customers.  It drives potential new customers, and existing customers, away.  The Small Business Development Center (one page up) has observed that aging signs is a key reason that once-successful businesses fail.

This website details how Signs Manufacturing delays the aging process!

Click any tab to the left to pick a product and discover how we manufacture each sign to last; including the use of rust-proof metal, high-end automotive paint, high-impact plastics, and most importantly, sophisticated protective coatings.

In a study of 10 year old local Dallas/Ft. Worth businesses, it was observed that a significantly larger number of businesses who had their signs manufactured by Signs Manufacturing were still in business (compared to businesses served by other sign manufacturers identified during the study.)

While it is tempting (to BOTH the purchaser and the sign manufacturer) to save money now by not investing in the future it is a terrible mistake which the SBDC says practically assures failure sometime down the road!

Generally speaking, sign companies that do not offer the features we offer, or downplay these features, only do so because they can not provide them.  They haven’t invested for your future.

Products We've Introduced to Use on Signage


"All sign companies do the same thing!"  Our customers say that other sign companies use this line a lot when asked to explain what they do differently to make their signs superior.

Through years of research we have introduced many quality products and procedures to use on signage.  Most remain unused by other sign companies because they have no idea where to obtain them.  Some of these products are:

  • Sunburst LED Signs LED Sign Format
  • Vacuum Ceramic Microsphere Coatings

  • Pinlights
  • Waterproof Whole-Sign Interior Coatings to Protect Electronic Components and Wiring
  • Flame Suppression Coating Systems
  • Spray-On Metal Coatings
  • Optical Brighteners for Plastics
  • UV Protective Coatings for Plastics
  • Self-Cleaning Sign-Face Coatings for Plastics
  • Vandal Resistant Coatings
  • Letterlites
  • Reduced-Atmosphere Electrical and Component Testing
  • High-Heat Electrical and Component Testing

Energy Saving Signs


We champion energy-saving signs solutions that save our customers money while protecting our environment.  No matter what type of signs you are considering, please explore our "Lighting Choices" tab for that product, with its own "Energy Savings" tab.

For instance, PinLights and LetterLites signs consume 0.1 watt per light at 5 volts DC!  One thousand lights left on 8 hours per day for 365 days will use $4.01 in electricity.

EZ Install Signs


Each product category ("Tabs" on the top left of this page) has a "EZ Install Signs" tab of its own.

"Click" that tab for information explaining about signs manufactured so that you can install them yourself.
