Ultra-Slim LED
Light Boxes
Edge-lit illuminated panels for retail fascias, transport interiors, and corporate lobbies.
What to send for an ultra-slim LED light box
- • Artwork or panel file
- • Panel dimensions and quantity
- • Finish, colour and lighting direction
- • Mounting/site photos and ship-to country
Send what you have: artwork, approximate dimensions, quantity, finish or lighting direction, mounting/site photos, and ship-to country.
An ultra-slim light box lights a printed or translucent graphic from its edges rather than from modules behind the panel, which keeps the profile shallow and the face evenly lit. Choose this format when mounting depth is limited or when a clean, close-to-the-wall illuminated panel fits the space better than a deep cabinet.
When should a project choose an edge-lit light box?
Edge-lit panels suit shallow fascias, framed wall recesses, menu and directory boards, and interior applications where depth is limited. Where very large panels or high brightness are required, a different construction may serve the site better. Sharing the panel size and mounting depth lets the correct build be confirmed.
Which graphics and materials work best in a light box?
The graphic has to transmit light evenly, so the substrate and print method are chosen together with the panel. Metal or coated frames handle exposed locations, while acrylic faces are common for interior applications. The material guide explains how the finish route affects durability outdoors.
What information is needed for a light box quotation?
Send the panel dimensions, quantity, artwork, mounting surface and depth, indoor or outdoor exposure, and the required finish. Where the box replaces an existing unit, a photo and the fixing layout speed up the review. Those details make the quotation comparable and the installation plan reliable.
How does a light box fit into a wider signage program?
Illuminated panels often work alongside dimensional letters, wayfinding, or entry monuments, sharing the same lighting temperature and finish so the brand reads consistently. Coordinating them in one order keeps components matched and simplifies installation on site.

Frequently asked questions
What makes a light box "ultra-slim"?
The profile depth comes from edge-lighting the graphic panel instead of placing modules behind it. A slimmer box suits shallow fascias, framed walls, and interior applications where a deep cabinet would sit proud of the surface. The achievable depth depends on the panel size and the required brightness.
Can an ultra-slim light box be used outdoors?
Yes, provided the construction and sealing are specified for the location. Outdoor installations need an enclosure and power route suited to rain, wind, and temperature movement, while interior boxes can use lighter construction. Confirm the mounting surface and exposure with the brief so the right build is quoted.
What is the lead time for custom LED light boxes?
Typical production lead time is 7–14 days depending on panel size, quantity, artwork, and lighting configuration. Rollout programs are phased according to your schedule.
