Light Boxes

Print

One of the most popular outdoor advertising media are light boxes with the graphical or textual commercial information. The fact that light boxes are made using numerous techniques enables their usage in a wide variety of ways. Large light boxes can be used as a frontal sign-plate or an outdoor advertising board, while smaller units serve as an excellent feature of shop-window design or interior, whereas models with the replaceable information panels are perfect for short-term promotional campaigns, such as seasonal sales.

The following section describes different types and models:

Standard light boxes. Those have rectangular shape and are made from aluminium profile. Usually the front panel of a standard light box is made of Perspex (Plexiglas) with an image on it, which is illuminated by luminous lamps or LEDs. In case that the box is relatively large (e.g. more than 3-4m wide and 1.5-2m tall) the front panel is made of a special banner fabric. An image is either printed on the fabric or is pasted-up using a film.

Custom shaped light boxes (see the picture for details)

This type of advertising is very similar to a standard light box, but the letters or logos are cut-out on the front panel, which is made of aluminium. The holes are covered on the inside by the Perspex (plexiglass), which can be painted any colour. When it gets dark, only the cut-out holes will be illuminated. The message can be more eye-catching, if the holes are covered by 10-15mm thick, transparent Perspex.

Light boxes with replaceable inserts. Those units are perfect for displaying banners during marketing campaigns or menus in cafes and fast-food restaurants. Special ClickClap profile is used in those displays, which enables quick and easy banner replacement.

Generally speaking, almost any idea can be turned into reality – there are no limits (except for the physical laws).
