The brief

High contrast across an illuminated panel.

The recognition plaque uses black serif lettering and a matching border against a luminous frosted acrylic panel. The specification calls for 10 mm acrylic and 1.2 mm 304 stainless steel.

The glossy black lettering and trim provide contrast against the illuminated panel. The production sheet specifies advertising screws for mounting and a Mean Well Class 2 power supply.

When is a backlit acrylic plaque a good fit for recognition signage?

Consider it when the design calls for an illuminated panel with dark, readable graphics. Confirm the intended viewing distance, wall material, and access to power before choosing the panel size and mounting method.

For sign companies

What to confirm before you quote

Send the lettering and border together

Provide vector artwork, overall dimensions, and the smallest lettering. Confirm the border width and graphic spacing in the production drawing.

Plan the wall and power access

Share the wall material, mounting clearances, and available power location so the fasteners and power supply can be coordinated before fabrication.
