What is Naked Neon™?

Naked Neon™ is a new product from Custom Neon that combines high-quality LED neon flex with our next-generation acrylic backboard material to allow an ultra-close-cut backboard.

The Naked Neon™ backboards are created from Polycarbonate rather than the acrylic used for our standard backboards. Polycarbonates are carbon polymers with organic groups attached in a long, continuous chain, creating a strong yet flexible material that can withstand impact forces and generally does not shatter.

What makes the material remarkable is the combination of flexibility and strength. Polycarbonate is pliable and has an impact resistance 250 higher than glass while still being flexible at room temperature.

This allows us to create signs with a barely visible, transparent backboard that extends for a minimal distance around the outline of the LED flex but still provides a resilient way to mount the sign. As with all LED Neon signs, it will provide years of use if handled with care.
