FAQ

Retail lightboxes FAQ

Get quick answers to common questions before requesting a quote.

What is a retail lightbox?

A retail lightbox is an illuminated display system with a printed graphic, often used for product launches, brand messages, storefronts and premium in-store campaign visibility.

Can the printed graphic be replaced?

In many lightbox systems the graphic can be replaced, but the frame type and graphic material must match. Nordsign can help specify the right combination.

What files are important for backlit print?

Backlit graphics need careful attention to color, contrast, scale and final visible size. Nordsign can help prepare files for production where possible.
