Advertisements That Have a Long Shelf Life

The beginning of the 20th century brought many new products that were based on new technology for that time. One of the products that has spread very quickly all over the world are neon signs, about which you can learn much more at original neon signs.

These signs were made by filling a glass tube with neon gas and by inserting electrodes into those tubes, different colors of light were obtained. To obtain the most diverse colors, phosphor was also used, which was glued to the walls of these glass tubes. The main worker in charge of the shape of the advertisement was the one who knew how to bend pipes into different shapes. That occupation was called a glass bender. Such tubes were later assembled according to needs and the most diverse advertisements were created. Designers participated in the assembly of these tubes and adapted advertisements to those who wanted them.

These pipes can last for years or even decades without ever needing to be replaced. That is why such advertisements were used a lot in the past, but they are also used in the present time. Pipes with an outer diameter of 8 to 15 mm and a pipe wall thickness of 1 mm are most often used.

All this contributed to the rapid development of neon signs. Since they are very impressive and attract attention, they have started to be used by many companies to highlight their brand.

Unfortunately, today you can rarely find original neon signs, because the material from which they were made is very fragile. If you collect these advertisements, look in antique shops, maybe some are still around.
