Choosing the right sign board is one of the most important branding decisions a business makes. The right board attracts customers, looks professional and lasts for years; the wrong one fades, peels or simply gets ignored. This guide covers the main types of sign boards used by shops, showrooms and offices in Greater Noida and Delhi NCR — what each is best for, and roughly what they cost — so you can choose with confidence.
ACP sign boards
ACP sign boards use aluminium composite panels for a clean, weatherproof facade finish. They’re affordable, durable and ideal for shopfronts and building fascias — often used as the base panel with letters mounted on top. Indicative cost: ~₹150–₹350 per sq ft.
Acrylic sign boards
Acrylic signage gives a premium, glossy finish and works beautifully for reception logos, office branding and backlit letters. It looks more upmarket than flex or basic ACP. Indicative cost: ~₹350–₹800 per sq ft.
3D letter & channel-letter boards
3D letter signage uses raised, often illuminated letters for a high-end showroom look that stands out day and night. Front-lit and halo (back-lit) options change the whole feel. Indicative cost: ~₹600–₹1,500 per sq ft for LED letters — see our 3D acrylic letter cost guide.
LED & backlit / glow sign boards
LED signage and backlit boards stay bright after dark — essential for retail and highway-facing units. The classic illuminated shop sign is a glow sign board (from ~₹250/sq ft for flex-face). Not sure between LED and backlit? See LED vs backlit signage.
Flex & vinyl boards
Vinyl & flex printing is the most economical option for temporary branding, banners, hoardings and window graphics. Indicative cost: ~₹40–₹150 per sq ft.
Stainless steel & metal letters
Stainless steel signage gives the most premium, durable finish for corporate and luxury brands. Indicative cost: ~₹900–₹2,500 per sq ft.
Which sign board is right for you?
It depends on your location, budget, and whether you need illumination:
- Budget shopfront: flex/glow sign or ACP base
- Premium brand: acrylic or 3D LED letters
- Large outdoor fascia: ACP, weatherproof
- Corporate/luxury: stainless steel letters

Frequently asked questions
What is the most durable sign board for outdoors?
ACP and stainless steel are the most weatherproof for outdoor use. Quality acrylic with proper sealing also lasts well; flex has the shortest life.
Which sign board is the most affordable?
Flex/vinyl is the cheapest, followed by ACP. Acrylic, 3D LED letters and steel cost more but look far more premium.
Can you combine sign board types?
Yes — a very common premium combo is an ACP fascia with acrylic or steel 3D letters mounted on top.
