Lightboxes
Illuminated sign boxes, or lightboxes, are sealed signs with an opal-acrylic or banner face that glows evenly from rows of LEDs inside. We design, manufacture and install them turnkey across Ukraine with our own crew, and later we reprint the face without building a new box.

Lightboxes
You reach for a lightbox when a sign has to carry more than a name — a logo, a list of services, a menu — and still read as one even, bright panel at night. It's a sealed box lit from inside: by day you read the print on the face, after dark the whole front glows, with no hot spots. A box like this fits over an entrance, on an entrance group, as a menu board in a cafe or fast-food spot, in a shop window, or by a road where you need to be seen from far off.
We make the face from printed opal acrylic, and translucent banner for large formats; inside sits an even grid of LED modules in an aluminium-profile and composite housing. Change your name or menu, or rebrand, and we reprint just the face while the box and its lighting stay. The housing is rated IP65, so the box works outdoors through rain and snow.
- Single-sided boxes that mount flush to the wall — over the entrance and entrance group
- Double-sided boxes on a bracket — seen along the street from both directions, from a distance
- Menu boards and cassette boxes for cafes, fast food and pharmacies — plenty of text on even light
- Shaped boxes cut precisely to the outline of your logo
- A face in printed opal acrylic, or translucent banner for large formats
- Window and interior boxes for shop windows, reception areas and malls
- Face replacement on your existing box — new graphics without a new box

The result is on us
We start with a free on-site survey: we look at the spot, the size and which direction you're seen from. The site visit, measurement and quote are free; the 3D visualization of the box on a photo of your facade, by day and by night, comes after you confirm the order. Then we print the face and build the housing with an even LED grid: simple single-sided boxes are ready in a few working days, large double-sided ones take longer. Our own crew, with 10+ years of experience, does the install, and the work carries a one-year warranty; later the face is easy to reprint for a new brand.
Key specifications
| Materials | Aluminium profile and composite housing; face in opal acrylic or translucent banner |
|---|---|
| Lighting | LED modules in an even grid; spacing matched to the box depth |
| Power | 12 V inside the box; the power supply connects to 220 V mains |
| Mounting | Flush to the wall or on a bracket; installed by our own crew |
| Placement | Facade, entrance area, shop window or interior; outdoor boxes come in an IP65 housing |
| Service life | LEDs typically run 50,000+ hours; power-supply quality and overheating set the real limit |
| Lead time | Simple single-sided boxes — a few working days; large double-sided ones take longer |
| Warranty & service | 1 year on the box and the install; service continues after the warranty |
What goes into the price of a sign
The price of a sign depends on the facade, size and material, so we don't publish a single price list. The visit, measurement and quote are free, and you get an exact figure fast.
Size and dimensions
A bigger sign means more material, fixings and hours on the install. We size the letter height to your facade width and the distance the sign has to be read from.
Materials
Metal, acrylic, composite and PVC differ in both price and lifespan. A metal sign runs higher than PVC but lasts longer; at the survey we recommend the material for your facade and weather, not for the price list.
Lighting and electrics
A non-illuminated sign costs less than a lit one: no LED modules, power supply or electrical work. Front-lit and halo-lit price separately too, and neon and lightboxes are our own offerings with their own pages.
Installation
Install cost comes down to height, how hard the access is, and the wall material — brick, plaster, composite or glass. A sign over the entrance and a structure up under the roof are very different amounts of crew work and equipment.
Approvals and permits
Some builds — blade signs over the pavement, rooftop signs, stelae on a site — need a placement approval. Where that applies, we tell you what to file and fold it into the quote.
Layout complexity
A single word prices differently from a logo with fine detail, a set of plaques or a full floor of wayfinding. The visit, measurement and quote are free, and the 3D visualization on a photo of your facade comes after you confirm the order — so the look is agreed before manufacturing.
Simple signs are ready in a few working days, more complex structures take longer. The exact term is set in your quote.
Frequently asked questions
Not sure what to pick?
Lightbox or 3D letters: which fits your sign?
Short version: when you need maximum evening brightness and visibility from the road, go with a lightbox; when depth, daytime presence and brand character matter more, go with 3D letters. The final call comes down to your facade and type of business.
Read the comparisonIlluminated or Non-Illuminated Sign: Which to Choose for Your Facade?
The short answer: it depends on when your customers see you. If most of your trade is in the evening and after dark, go illuminated. By day, a clean non-illuminated sign is often enough, and simpler to make.
