What Is an Advertising Light Box?
An advertising light box is a sealed sign face lit from inside by LED. The graphic prints on acrylic, fabric, or flexible film. Light passes through the face, so your message stays readable day and night. Hicen has built them for shopfronts, malls, airports, and brand walls since 2003.
Types of Advertising Light Boxes
Six constructions cover almost every install. All six are built to your size, material, and brightness in one factory.
Wall light box
The standard choice for shopfronts and mall corridors. Faces build from 200×200 to 3000×2000 mm, cabinet 30–150 mm.
Edge-lit light box
LED strips feed light from the frame sides, so the cabinet stays slim. Depths start at 30 mm in a 1.0–3.0 mm frame.
Fabric light boxes
A printed silicone-edge fabric cover presses into the frame groove. You swap campaign graphics without any tools.
Menu light box
The front panel opens on suction rings. Menus and price lists change at the counter, as single or double sided units.
Acrylic light box
A clear acrylic border holds the face on standoffs. Panels run 3–10 mm thick, fixed flush or standoff to the wall.
Outdoor light box
Sealed cabinets with drainage keep rain and dust out. Rated IP65, working from −20 to 50 °C on facades and forecourts.
Advertising Light Box Material Comparison
| Panel | Light quality | Graphic | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Acrylic (PMMA) | Hard, bright, even glow across the face | UV print and laser engraving hold fine detail | Storefronts, malls, showrooms |
| SEG fabric | Soft, evenly diffused light with no hot spots | Tensioned polyester with dye-sublimation print | Retail chains, events, campaign graphics |
| PVC flex | Even glow at a lower material cost | Eco-solvent print for short-run graphics | Short campaigns, pop-ups, promotions |
Typical reference configurations only. Final panel material, thickness, frame, light source and mounting are confirmed by approved drawings, sign size, installation location, climate and applicable local requirements.

Applications of Advertising Light Boxes
A light box advertising display earns its place in any busy space. Most of our work lands in six settings. Tell us yours and we quote the right box.
Shop counters
A counter box puts your menu at eye level. It stands on the counter, so you skip wall fixings. We cut it to your counter length, ready to plug in.
Restaurants and cafés
A cube light box hangs over the door and reads from both sides. Yours carries your logo on every face. We print the panels and ship them ready to fit.
Shopping malls
Mall light box advertising displays hang from the ceiling and point people between floors. We build the box, the bracket and the print as one set. A batch order keeps every unit the same.
Airports and metro
Airport signs have to read from the far end of a hall. We size the box and the light for the distance. Bilingual panels come printed and fitted.
Property showrooms
A showroom wall box holds one large plan or render. The frame stays slim, so the image does most of the work. We print at 1440 dpi for close viewing.
Exhibitions & trade shows
Fabric light box walls pack flat and go up without tools. One person can raise a booth wall in a morning. We ship the frames and the printed skins together.
Why Choose Our Advertising Light Box Factory?
A light box is easy to buy once. The tenth order is the real test. Frame and colour have to match the first. Start with one box and check us.
Years building light boxes
We have run our own factory since 2003. You deal with the factory, not a trading desk.
Machines in house
Extrusion, printing and assembly sit under one roof. You are not waiting on a subcontractor.
Projects delivered
We have shipped to more than 10,000 companies. Ask for a case in your market.
Piece minimum order
Order a single box to check the build before you commit to a run. Samples ship in three to five days.
Advertising Light Box Bulk Orders & Order Terms
Advertising light box price comes down to six things. None of them is a shelf number. We quote the whole job, part by part.
1. What moves the price
Size, frame metal, face material, light source, packing and destination set your quote. Send us the art and we quote in two hours.
2. Samples and first articles
A sample answers the colour and brightness question before you commit. We cut it in three to five days.
3. Bulk orders and lead times
One piece is our minimum, so a single box is a real order. Bulk runs ship in seven to fifteen working days. Most advertising light boxes run from USD 40 to 700 per unit.
4. Keeping reorders identical
We archive your drawing, artwork, finish and inspection records. We build every reorder against your approved sample. Ask for the file set on your reorder.
Our OEM/ODM Customization Process
We make every advertising light box to your brief, not from a catalogue. Send a logo, a wall photo, or a rough sketch. Nothing reaches the line until you approve the sample.
Send your artwork
A custom light box with logo needs one file from you. Send whatever file you have, even a phone photo. Nothing needs to be print-ready at this stage.
Check the mockup
You see the box on your own wall before we cut metal. Sizes, finish, brightness, and price sit on one page. We redraw until the fit is right.
Approve a sample
Hold the sample against the wall and check colour and brightness. Change anything before the run starts. The approved piece sets the colour reference.
Build, test, and pack
We build the run on the same line as your sample. We run a 48-hour aging test before packing. Cartons follow your label and carton spec.

We ensure reliable quality through certified materials, strict manufacturing standards, and comprehensive product testing.
FAQ
How much does an advertising light box cost?
Most advertising light boxes run from USD 40 to 700 per unit. Size, frame, face, light and packing move the number. Send your size and we quote in two hours.
Can you build an advertising light box in my size?
We build from 200 × 200 mm to 3000 × 2000 mm. Cabinet depth runs 30 to 150 mm. Send the wall measurement and we check the fit.
What can I change on a custom advertising light box?
Face material, frame, lighting and print. Pick acrylic at 3 to 10 mm, or SEG fabric, or PVC flex. Frames come in aluminium, galvanised steel, stainless or engineering plastic.
Can an advertising light box go outdoors?
Yes. The unit is IP65 rated and runs from −20 to 50 °C. Brightness reaches 1200 cd/m², so the face still reads in daylight.
Can I change the graphic on an advertising light box later?
The printed face is its own panel. A new campaign means a new panel, not a new box. We print at 1440 dpi, so a reprint matches the first.
What is the minimum order for an advertising light box?
One piece. A single box is a real order. You check build and colour before you commit to a run. Bulk runs ship in seven to fifteen working days.
Can I order a sample advertising light box first?
Yes. Samples ship in three to five days. The sample is a finished box, not a dummy. The run matches the colour and brightness you approved.
How long does an advertising light box take to make?
Seven to fifteen working days after you approve the sample. Our 38 mm and 56 mm profiles are in stock. A rush order can leave in three days.
How is an advertising light box packed for export?
Each box ships in an export crate. Tell us the delivery country and the freight quote comes with the box price.
Does an advertising light box come with CE and RoHS?
Yes. Every box carries CE and RoHS. UL is optional, and the factory holds ISO 9001. Ask for the certificate set with your quote.
