Push Through Signs

Custom Push Through Signs: The Ultimate Dimensional Lightbox for Storefronts

If your brand demands a refined, sculpted look that traditional flat signage cannot achieve, Push Through Signs are the answer. This premium technique involves inserting dimensional acrylic letters through a solid sign face, causing the illuminated letters to physically protrude. The result is a stunning, high contrast, three dimensional effect that is both visually captivating and architecturally sophisticated. At Nova Pro Signs, we specialize in fabricating bespoke Push Through Lettering that delivers maximum impact with seamless integration. Upgrade your facade with a truly dimensional lightbox solution that speaks to quality and distinction.

The Technology Behind Push Through Lettering

Push-Through Signs are a sophisticated evolution of the classic Lightbox Signs. The difference lies in the way the graphic elements interact with the light source.

The Core Mechanics of High Contrast Illumination

• Dimensional Pop: The lettering typically 15mm to 25mm thick acrylic is precision-cut and "pushed" through the main panel often aluminum or opaque acrylic. The edges of the letter catch the light, creating a strong contrast and the illusion of depth.
• Halo Effect Integration: By recessing the main sign face slightly, the illuminated edges of the Push Through Lettering cast a subtle halo effect, further enhancing the 3D 'pop' and providing a softer glow around the letters.
• High Contrast: The sign face is usually an opaque color (e.g., black or dark blue), while the pushed-through lettering is brilliant white or colored acrylic. This maximum contrast ensures exceptional readability both day and night.

Push Through Signs vs. Other Illuminated 3D Options

Choosing a Push Through Sign often comes down to aesthetic preference and budget compared to other premium types of signage:

• Push Through vs. Channel Letters: While Channel Letters offer extreme depth and size, Push-Through signs offer a sleeker, often frameless look and are easier to integrate complex graphics onto a single panel.
• Push Through vs. Acrylic Backlit: Simple Acrylic Backlit Signs illuminate the entire letter uniformly. Push-Through adds tangible, physical depth that makes the lettering physically protrude from the sign face.
• Push Through vs. Metal Halo-Lit: Signs like Metal Backlit Signs rely solely on the back-halo. Push-Through provides a dimensional front light and the subtle side halo, offering a richer, dual-effect without the complexity of dual-lit construction.

Material and Design Customization

Every component of a Push Through Sign is highly customizable, allowing us to align the final product perfectly with your brand architecture.

Key Design Features We Master

• Face Material: We often use powder-coated aluminum or opaque acrylic for the sign face, ensuring maximum durability and a perfect contrast color.
• Letter Material: The protruding Acrylic Push Through letters can be solid acrylic or backed with aluminum, depending on the required depth and weight.
•  Unique Illumination: We can install different colored LEDs for the halo and the letter face, or use techniques similar to those found in our specialty products, such as our Tube Lightbox Signs, for unique edge-lit effects.

FAQs

What exactly is a push-through acrylic sign?

Push-through signs consist of a metal face (usually aluminum) with letters or logos cut out, where acrylic is pushed through the holes. This creates a stunning 3D effect where only the letters glow, giving a sharp and sophisticated look.
