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 |
