Custom-shaped lightboxes are an excellent solution for companies wishing to stand out with unique form and aesthetics. Manufactured using aluminum tapes of various profiles, these lightboxes are perfect for marking company headquarters, service premises, and commercial spaces.
Make your brand stand out with custom-shaped lightboxes – combine aesthetics with functionality and attract the attention of Clients!
Custom-shaped lightboxes are manufactured using aluminium strips. The currently available strips and their sizes are visible in the calculator.
For DFT flanged strip: The maximum size of the lightbox is 1.5 m², with the length of one side not exceeding 2 m. For a lightbox with a 2 m side, the other side may be up to 0.75 m, while for a 1.5 m side, the other side may be up to 1 m.
For FLT 40mm flat strip: the maximum size of the lightbox is 1 m², with the length of one side not exceeding 2 m. For a lightbox with a 2 m side, the other side may be up to 0.5 m.
The side of the lightbox is made from precisely bent 0.6mm thick aluminium strip with a properly finished double-folded edge (DFT). Colour availability depends on the selected type of strip – detailed options can be checked in the calculator.
The face is made from a material that retains its colour during the day while allowing illumination in the dark.
We produce faces from:
Custom-shaped lightboxes should be mounted directly onto the façade.
Installation requires disassembly of the lightbox (diffuser):
As standard, the lightbox is supplied with a 12V power cable approximately 5m long. The power supply is provided separately and is not integrated with the lightbox.
This solution allows the power supply to be placed inside the building and only a low-voltage cable to be routed to the lightbox. This facilitates later servicing — in the event of a power supply replacement, there is no need to dismantle the lightbox diffuser.
Note!
If the power supply is to be placed inside the lightbox, this must be specified at the order stage. It is possible to supply the lightbox with an internally mounted waterproof power supply, however, connection of the power in this case remains the responsibility of the installer.
Illumination of colour graphics/opal plexiglass
LED modules in natural colour (approx. 7000 K).
Aluminium strip dimension tolerance
Aluminium strips sourced from different suppliers may differ slightly in thickness and height.
Limitations of strip bending
Strip waviness
Strips are supplied by the manufacturer in coils, which may result in slight waviness on longer, straight sides (applies to rectangular lightboxes). In these cases, we recommend choosing (where possible) strips in white or black. This allows us to use a thicker strip, which is stiffer and less prone to deformation on longer sides.
D&D Sp. z o.o. provides a 12-month warranty for the correct operation of custom-shaped lightboxes.
The warranty period begins on the date of invoice issuance.
Under the warranty, D&D undertakes to:
Warranty repairs are carried out after the damaged product is delivered to the headquarters of D&D Sp. z o.o. in Gliwice.
The warranty does not cover defects arising from:
The Buyer loses the right to warranty in the event of:
Note:
To benefit from the warranty, the rules for use and installation of the product must be followed. All repairs should be carried out exclusively by D&D or authorised entities.
The project must include references (arrows) with a description of the foil number to clearly specify the colors of the materials used.
We use Avery series 4500 TF backlit foil – before designing, familiarize yourself with the available colors of this series listed in the “Available Materials” tab.
Upon the Client's request, for larger projects, we can use translucent foil from another manufacturer specified by the Client.
The project should be prepared in the size of the ordered use + 3 mm bleed
Full color printing can be used in combination with backlit foil or as standalone graphics.
Prepare the project for UV printing (for backlighting).
All rules for proper file preparation can be found in the Help section.
The file should contain two pages:
Milling lines should be designed according to the guidelines for milling with a minimum rounding radius of 3mm.
