High-Impact 3D & LED-Lit Signs in Calgary

3D and LED-lit signs are one of the most effective ways to make your brand impossible to miss. At DisplayWorks Signs & Graphics, we combine modern 3D printing and CNC-cut technology to create custom illuminated signage that adds depth, glow, and a premium feel to any space.

Types of Illuminated Signs We Offer

  • Backlit (Halo Glow) Signs: A soft, sophisticated glow that shines from behind each letter, creating a "halo" effect against the wall.

  • Front-Lit Signs: Bright, punchy illumination that shines directly through the face of the letters for maximum legibility.

  • Edge-Lit Acrylic: Light is guided through the edges of precision-cut acrylic for a sharp, futuristic "blade" effect.

  • Faux Neon Signs: Using flexible LED tubing to get the classic neon look without the high voltage, fragile glass, or buzzing heat of traditional neon.

  • 3D Printed & CNC-Cut Hybrids: We use 3D printing for complex logo shapes and CNC routing for crisp acrylic edges, allowing for details that traditional sign shops can't achieve.

Our Fabrication Process

  1. 3D Modeling & Layout: We design your sign digitally to ensure perfect proportions and plan exactly where the LEDs and wiring will sit.

  2. In-House Fabrication: Using our CNC routers and 3D printers, we create every component with industrial accuracy.

  3. LED Integration: We use high-efficiency, 12V LED modules for consistent brightness and clean, hidden wiring.

  4. Professional Installation: We handle the mounting and low-voltage power supply setup, ensuring a clean finish on your wall or backer panel.

Pricing Overview

Because these signs involve electrical components and multi-stage fabrication, pricing varies by the number of letters and the lighting style:

  • Small Reception Signs: $600 – $1,200

  • Medium LED-Lit Signs: $1,200 – $2,500

  • Large Feature Wall Displays: $2,500 – $5,000+
