- Hotel and venue foyers, reaching foot traffic from both directions in aisles and open-plan spaces.
- Corporate reception areas, offering a seamless, premium look compared to standard pull-up banners.

Artwork
Backlit print intensifies colour, so a few adjustments help you get the best result. Supply artwork as a press-ready PDF in CMYK at 150 DPI minimum with 25 mm bleed. Keep text and logos at least 30 mm from the trim edge, as the silicone strip sits inside the channel around the edge of the frame. Minimum 8pt font for fine text. We supply templates on request and offer a design service through to installation-ready files. Every file is proofed before we print.
Delivery
We produce and ship from County Wicklow, south of Dublin. Standard production is 3–5 working days from artwork approval, with next-day delivery for Dublin and nationwide shipping across Ireland. Replacement SEG graphics ship within 2–3 working days. The lightbox arrives in its own carry box, fully protected for transit.
FAQs
Is the economy lightbox truly double sided?
Yes. Each side has its own illuminated face with a separate SEG graphic. This is ideal for placement in aisles or open exhibition spaces. If you only need single sided display, fit one graphic and leave the rear panel blank.
Can I order replacement graphics without buying a new frame?
You can. Supply your new artwork and we handle the print and delivery. Swapping the silicone edge fabric into the frame takes minutes with no tools.
How bright is the 75 mm depth compared to thicker light boxes?
The edge-lit LED panels distribute light evenly across the full 1m x 2m face. For indoor venues the brightness and colour consistency are more than adequate. The slim profile keeps the unit lightweight and easy to fold away.
What file format do you need for backlit printing?
Press-ready PDF in CMYK, 150 DPI minimum, 25 mm bleed. Request a template or ask our team for backlit colour guidance.
Do you deliver anywhere in Ireland?
We deliver nationwide. Standard production is 3–5 working days from artwork approval, with next-day options for Dublin and surrounding areas.
