Hicen Custom Acrylic Sign Factory
Hicen is a factory-direct custom acrylic sign manufacturer serving sign companies, brand owners, architects, designers and commercial contractors worldwide. From a single prototype to a multi-location rollout, our in-house team manages artwork review, material selection, structural detailing, fabrication, lighting integration, assembly, quality inspection and export packing.
We produce clear, frosted, colored, printed and engraved acrylic signs, as well as 3D acrylic letters, logo wall signs, push-through letters, backlit signs and edge-lit LED acrylic signage. Each project can be customized by size, shape, acrylic thickness, brand color, surface finish, illumination and mounting method to suit retail stores, offices, hotels, restaurants, shopping centers and architectural wayfinding systems.
With CNC routing, laser cutting, UV printing, polishing, bonding, thermoforming and LED assembly completed in-house, we can maintain cleaner edges, accurate dimensions, uniform illumination and consistent results across production batches. Before manufacturing begins, our engineers provide drawings for approval and review the installation environment so the finished signs arrive ready for efficient on-site installation.

How Do We Manufacture Custom Acrylic Signs?
From artwork review and material preparation to precision cutting, printing, assembly and final inspection, every custom acrylic sign is manufactured under strict in-house quality control.
Our design process starts with your ideas and requirements — you can also provide your own design files.
Clear, frosted, colored or opal acrylic sheets are selected in the required thickness and checked for surface defects.
Acrylic panels and letters are precision-cut according to the approved artwork for accurate shapes and smooth edges.
Cut parts are thermoformed, bonded or assembled to create panels, dimensional letters and custom sign structures.
UV printing, painting, engraving, polishing or frosting is applied to achieve the required graphics and surface finish.
LED modules, backings, mounting hardware and electrical components are installed according to the approved specifications.
Dimensions, colors, edges, graphics and assembly are inspected. Illuminated signs also undergo lighting and aging tests.
Each sign is surface-protected, securely cushioned and packed in reinforced cartons or wooden cases for safe delivery.
FAQ
What acrylic sign types can you manufacture?
We manufacture flat acrylic panels, printed and engraved signs, dimensional acrylic letters, push-through letters, LED acrylic signs, backlit signs and edge-lit signs.
Can acrylic signs be used outdoors?
Yes, when the product is configured for the installation environment. Acrylic grade, graphics, lighting enclosure, drainage, mounting and structural details are selected according to the project climate and installation position. Expected weathering performance should be confirmed against the approved material and construction specification.
Can you match our logo, colors and fonts?
Yes. Vector artwork helps us reproduce the logo geometry and define the specified color, acrylic thickness, letter depth, finish, lighting and mounting. For controlled color matching, provide Pantone or RAL references, or an approved physical sample; production tolerances should be confirmed before manufacturing.
What files are needed for a quotation?
Send AI, EPS, PDF, SVG or CAD artwork with dimensions, quantity, installation location, lighting preference and delivery country. A photo or sketch is enough for an initial review.
Do you provide drawings before production?
Yes. We provide artwork renderings, production drawings and installation layouts for approval before manufacturing begins.
How do you control acrylic sign quality?
Materials, cutting, printing, bonding, polishing and assembly are checked during production. Illuminated signs undergo functional lighting checks before packing. The inspection scope and any extended burn-in test are confirmed according to the approved product specification.
What is the lead time for samples and bulk orders?
Lead time depends on the sign size, order quantity, surface finish and lighting complexity. After artwork approval, we confirm the sample and mass-production schedule before manufacturing starts. Rush production can be evaluated for time-sensitive projects.
What information affects the price of a custom acrylic sign?
Pricing is based on the overall dimensions, quantity, acrylic type and thickness, printed or engraved graphics, lighting configuration, backing structure, mounting hardware, packing method and delivery destination. Providing these details helps us prepare an accurate factory quotation.
How are acrylic signs packed for international shipping?
Finished signs are surface-protected, individually wrapped and cushioned to prevent scratches and movement. Depending on the size and transport method, we use reinforced export cartons or wooden cases, with components and installation parts clearly labeled for delivery and site assembly.
Project-specific certified components can be supplied when specified and available. Certification scope, certificate holder, applicable standard and component model should be confirmed against current documentation before production.
