It is most common to mount light boxes against the wall, but is this the best location in your situation? You have to ask yourself if you are looking for a fixed, permanent location or one that is easily relocated based on your changing store requirements or show needs, such as hanging on the wall or even on the ground.
Some light box frames are very unobtrusive, but there are also frames with a traditional frame look and create a border around your message. Decide carefully what your preference is! Is the frame important to you or are you more concerned about your graphics whether they will attract attention? Do you want transparency or do you prefer the warmer, luxurious look of a quick-to-change and easy-to-maintain fabric SEG (Silicone Edge Graphic)? Do you want a single-sided or a double-sided backlit light box? These are all kinds of things to think about carefully.
With light boxes, it is helpful to understand that there are a number of factors that affect how the light box looks on the outside. Do you want a light box with edge lighting or a light box with backlighting? In addition, you can choose between luminous lights or LEDs. The latter are generally more modern and energy efficient. It is essential to make sure that there is even light distribution without hot spots in the light box. This is because this can affect the appearance of the light box. Is the light box bright enough? If not, inquire beforehand about the possibility of installing additional LED strips in the signage.
Light boxes come in many different shapes and sizes. Factors such as size, framing and placement are important to keep in mind. Is the signage heavy? Do you need to hire someone to install on site? Does the light box come ready-made or is assembly required? All kinds of questions to ask yourself before purchasing a light box. For some larger light boxes, it may even be advantageous to ship the light box unassembled, as this saves on shipping costs. This can make installation easier and less cumbersome.
