Every sign tells a story – we make sure it stands out

Custom signage solutions

At TECside we believe signage is more than just a name board. It is the first impression, the recognition, the face of your brand. That is why we do not make off-the-shelf solutions – every LED sign is developed fully to measure in our own CNC workshop in Leuven.

From subtle backlit letters that radiate elegance to eye-catching light boxes visible from miles away – we make sure your message comes across perfectly. Our signage solutions combine functionality with visual impact, so your brand is always shown in the right light.

With years of experience in retail, hospitality and architecture, we know exactly which signage works best for your specific situation. Because the perfect sign suits not only your brand, but also your location, target audience and budget.

Eye-catching signage that works day and night

Light Boxes: Maximum Visibility

Light boxes are the powerhouses among LED signs. TECside designs and produces light boxes with an aluminium frame and a printed acrylic front that ensure maximum visibility – by day and by night.

The warmth of neon, the benefits of LED

Faux Neon: Vintage Charm, Modern Technology

Faux neon combines the nostalgic look of traditional neon with the benefits of modern LED technology. TECside creates custom neon signs that perfectly imitate the warm, continuous light line of classic neon, but more energy-efficient, more durable and maintenance-free.

Subtle lighting with maximum impact

Backlit Text: Elegant Depth and Dimension

Backlit text is the art of subtle lighting. TECside produces backlit letters with two-layer acrylic that give an elegant, professional look and perfect light diffusion. The letters seem to float thanks to the soft halo of light around them.

Perfect for offices, medical centres, law firms and architecture practices – wherever professionalism and elegance come first. Backlit text radiates quality and reliability.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

01What kinds of signage do you make?

Light boxes, faux neon, backlit letters and illuminated box letters, all made to measure in our workshop in Leuven.

02Faux neon or real neon?

Faux neon gives you the warm, continuous light line of neon with the benefits of LED: more energy-efficient, more durable and maintenance-free. For a true vintage glow, real neon is still better, though: LED cannot quite match it.

03How is a light box built?

An aluminium frame with a printed acrylic front and LED lighting, for maximum visibility by day and by night.

04Who is backlit text for?

For offices, medical centres, law firms and architecture practices: wherever professionalism and elegance count. The letters seem to float thanks to the soft halo of light.

05Is installation included?

Installation by our own installers can be included in the quote, including removal of the old sign and an aerial platform if needed. You can also ask for delivery only or collect from our workshop; you then get everything ready to mount. We adapt the fixing to the surface: in the façade, on a frame, with brackets or suspended from steel cables.

06Which files do you need?

Preferably a vector file: SVG, PDF, AI or DWG. For LED neon, the drawing works best as single lines, not double outlines. A JPG or mock-up is enough for a first price; for production we need vector artwork.

07Can I choose the colour, even per letter?

Yes. The light can be white (e.g. 4000 K or warm white) or coloured, even per letter; RGB or RGBW is possible at extra cost. Sides and housing are painted or covered in RAL or PMS, matt or satin. If you want your exact brand colour, a printed light box is the best choice: neon cannot match it exactly.

08Will I see a drawing first?

Yes. Once the quote is approved, you get a render and a technical drawing with all dimensions. Production only starts after your approval.

09Can illuminated signs go outdoors?

Yes, we make façade signage for outdoor use. Outdoors, or where people can touch it, we use an aluminium back plate; letters are 8 cm deep as standard, with aluminium sides. A timer or dimmer is possible. For stage, TV and theatre, a sign can also be DMX-controlled.

10How small can a neon sign be?

With LED neon every line segment has a minimum size, and letters are at least 6 cm high. If details are too small, we enlarge the sign or simplify the design; making it bigger has only a limited effect on the price. We mount on acrylic that can be cut out close around the neon.
