Invoice templates for neon and LED sign makers billing businesses, event companies, and individuals for bespoke signs.
A neon sign maker invoice is issued by a bespoke sign fabricator to a commercial client, event company, restaurant, bar, or individual for the design and manufacture of custom neon or LED neon signs. The neon sign industry in the UK has grown with the popularity of LED flex neon signs (which replicate the look of traditional glass neon at lower cost) and the enduring demand for authentic gas-filled glass neon from upmarket venues. Neon sign businesses offer design services (custom lettering, illustrations, logos in neon form), fabrication of the physical sign, and installation. Installation may involve electrical connections and wall mounting, which in some configurations requires a qualified electrician. Pricing for bespoke neon signs is based on the complexity of the design, the length of neon tubing, the backing material, and any special features such as dimmer controllers, outdoor weatherproofing, or remote control.
| Service | Typical Rate | Unit |
|---|---|---|
| Bespoke LED neon sign (small, up to 60cm) | 250 | sign |
| Bespoke LED neon sign (medium, up to 120cm) | 450 | sign |
| Bespoke glass neon sign | 800 | sign |
| Custom design and artwork (per hour) | 60 | hour |
| Installation (wall mounting) | 150 | installation |
| Outdoor weatherproofing upgrade | 80 | sign |
Require full payment or 50% deposit before beginning fabrication. Bespoke signs are custom-made and cannot be resold if a client cancels after production begins. For commercial clients (bars, restaurants, retail), invoice with 30-day payment terms after delivery. Most commercial clients will need to process through accounts payable. Include a warranty statement on the invoice. LED neon signs typically carry a 12-24 month warranty on the LED components. Glass neon requires more care and carries a shorter warranty. State what the warranty covers and how to make a claim. For events and prop hire arrangements (where the sign is used for a weekend event and returned), treat this as a hire rather than a sale and invoice accordingly with a damage deposit.
