We are all familiar with the neon sign board that hangs outside any office buildings, hotels, bars, pubs and sometime even outside a house. The neon sign is a glowing glass tube used to attract people and customers to maximize their business and also works as alerts. It is nothing but an evolution of the earlier Geissler tube.

Interesting facts about the neon signs are that there are no neon-sign manufacturing machines. They are made manually with hands.

As the name suggests, many of you might think that only neon gas is used to make neon signs. But this is not true. Other gases are also used to emit different colors as desired.

The manufacturing process is briefly described:

A glass tube is first heated to a pliable state, then the tube is bent into shapes or letters while it is being heated over a flame. During this simultaneous heating and bending process of the tube, air is blown in to ensure that the tube retains its hollow shape. Once the tube attains the desired shape, the air is sucked out of the tube with the help of a vacuum pump and is filled with an inert gas. The type of gas used to fill the tube determines the color of glow. For instance, if you want the glow sign to be red you can use neon gas, if blue is desired, mixture of argon-mercury gas can be used.

The neon sign can be categorised into Open Neon Signs ( increases the visibility of your store), ATM Neon Signs, Custom Neon signs and Business Neon Signs (increases store's visibility).

The neon signs can be eye catching, attractive and very cost effective as well. Also, if you use it for your business, it can be a sure way to attract your customers. For instance, do you own an ATM machine and want to increase its usage? ATM neon sign could be the best solution you can avail for.
