Light box custom-built
to meet your requirements

Taking measurements correctly

There are three dimensions that must be considered: external dimensions, slide/panel dimensions (identical), and the visible size. External dimensions of the light box are crucial for ordering a light box (except for light boxes with 2.5 and 3.9 cm depth). To this end, ask for our object calculation. For processing your advertising motif, the visible size is decisive, i.e. the actually visible illuminated surface

For the production of large slides, we use the slide/panel dimensions, which are slightly smaller than the external dimensions, but larger than the visible size. It is recommended that you apply the data for the backlit poster motif as follows: Visible size with bleed margin = slide/panel dimensions. Since there are different proportions, depending on the design of the light box, you will find below details for calculating on your own.

Folding frames

External dimensions:according to your order dimensions
Slide/panel size:minus 0.7 cm from the external dimension
Visible size:minus 2.4 cm from the external dimension
Example:50.0 x 60.0 cm external dimensions
49.3 x 59.3 cm slide/panel size
47.6 x 57.6 cm visible size

Mounting frame

External dimensions:according to your order dimensions
Slide/panel size:minus 2.0 cm from the external dimension
Visible size (flat socket strip):minus 3.2 cm from the external dimension
Visible size (half round socket strip):minus 4.0 cm from the external dimension
Example (flat socket strip):50.0 x 62.5 cm flat socket strip external dimensions
48.0 x 60.5 cm slide/panel size
46.8 x 59.3 cm visible size

3.9 cm boxes

External dimensions:11.2 cm in addition to DIN format
Slide/panel size:DIN format according to your order
Visible size:minus 1.6 cm from the slide/panel dimensions
Example:95.3 x 130.1 cm external dimensions
84.1 x 1 18.9 cm slide/panel dimensions = DIN A0
82.5 x 1 17.3 cm visible size
