Light that makes the artwork work harder.
A lightbox is more than a bright wall. Fabric density, ink coverage, LED placement and frame depth all affect the finished image. We match the printed skin to the lighting system, keeping contrast and detail in mind. Silicone edging creates a neat, tensioned perimeter, while replaceable fabric skins let you update a campaign without replacing the whole display.

The difference
A different way
to show up.
01 / The usual way
A flat, unlit back wall
Artwork competes with the hall lighting and may lose impact from across the aisle.
02 / With Clever Signs
An illuminated campaign surface
A compatible fabric skin and light source add depth and visibility, with replaceable graphics for the next campaign.
How it works
A practical plan
for your deadline.
01
Match the frame
Confirm frame profile, silicone edge and lighting arrangement.
02
Print for light
Review colour and contrast for the actual illuminated fabric application.
03
Tension & connect
Fit the graphic, route power safely and agree handover checks.
How it fits together
Every part has a job.
LED source
Light arrangement suits the frame depth.
Backlit fabric
Print density balances colour and illumination.
Silicone edge
The sewn perimeter seats into the frame channel.
The practical details
Made to spec.
Ready for the venue.
Already own a frame? Send the manufacturer, frame dimensions, depth and silicone-edge profile. The finished graphic allowance and backlit fabric must suit your system. We coordinate power, safe cable routes, brightness and artwork contrast before print.
- Graphic material
- Backlit dye-sublimation fabric chosen for the actual frame and illumination system.
- Frame
- Modular aluminium profiles; dimensions and depth confirmed before graphic production.
- Edge finishing
- Sewn silicone edge matched to the manufacturer’s channel and required tension allowance.
- LED arrangement
- Edge-lit or matrix options selected with frame depth, uniformity and service access in mind.
- Electrical checks
- Confirm power supply, connectors and safe cable routing. Request applicable PAT/test records; do not assume every supplied unit is certified.
- Fire & packaging
- Confirm the selected material’s fire-test documentation against the show manual. Request B1/M1 or other required evidence; classifications are not interchangeable and approval is organiser-specific. Protect frame corners and LEDs; keep fabric clean and dry.
- Hall & dock delivery
- Share show name, hall, stand number, unloading slot and on-site contact. Confirm vehicle booking, delivery labels, passes and any approved handling contractor before dispatch.
- Power & placement
- Book the correct electrical supply through the show’s approved contractor. Keep cables protected and access to isolators clear.
- Frame compatibility
- Send the manufacturer, outside dimensions, channel profile and frame photographs. Plan wall attachment or freestanding stability before fitting.
Fire documentation and any electrical checks must match the chosen materials, equipment and show requirements. No blanket certification is assumed.
Our factory. Our crew.
From the printer
to the show floor.
02 / Finish
Silicone edge, sewn by hand
SEG fabric graphics are trimmed and finished with silicone edging so they fit the frame tight and wrinkle-free.
03 / Cut
Rigid panels, cut to template
Foamex and board panels are printed, cut on the flatbed and labelled by stand and wall before packing.
04 / Deliver
Out of the door, into the hall
Our own crew loads and drives to the venue—our studio is 5min from the ExCel London.
05 / Install
Fitted by people who made it
The same crew installs on the show floor, working to the organiser’s build-up timetable, including evenings and weekends.
06 / Hand over
Checked before doors open
Every panel and graphic is checked, snagged and signed off with you before the show starts.

Your questions.
Straight answers.
Still have a question?
Talk it through with the studio.
A quick call often answers more than a page of FAQs — share your space, timings and brand assets.
Call 0208 150 3330info@cleversigns.co.uk01Can you print a new graphic for my existing lightbox?
Usually, after checking the frame manufacturer, finished dimensions, silicone profile and lighting arrangement. A generic width and height is not enough to guarantee fit.
02Will colours look the same switched on and off?
Backlighting changes the appearance of colour and contrast. We review artwork for illumination and agree any sampling requirements before full production.
03Do I need an electrician?
Electrical work and show power connections must follow organiser rules. We agree who supplies, connects and checks the lighting and power equipment.
04Is every fabric fire rated?
No universal claim is made. We confirm the selected fabric and its documentation against the organiser’s requirements before production.
