Aluminium Lightboxes with LED Backlighting

We have completed the production and installation of modern aluminium LED lightboxes, manufactured entirely from aluminum and equipped with LED backlighting.
What makes them modern, and what kind of innovation has Metaloplastyka introduced this time?
As is commonly known, lightboxes are typically made from routed and bent dibond panels, screwed onto a PVC back plate (usually 10 mm thick). To stiffen the bent and routed dibond (with cut-out letters for illumination), it is usually glued, reinforced internally with additional material or aluminum profiles. Companies use different technical methods depending on their capabilities and available technologies.
Indeed, the durability of such lightboxes is very good, and the color range is relatively wide – manufacturers typically use dibond panels available in specific colors, apply vinyl films (polymer, monomer, 3M, others), or print using UV technology.
However—what if the Client’s Visual Identity System (SIWZ) specifies an exact RAL color, and no matching dibond panel or vinyl film exists? What if part of the décor made from steel has already been powder-coated in a specific RAL color, and you cannot match it using a similar—but still different—vinyl film?

This is where our R&D department steps in. We developed a solution to manufacture the lightboxes entirely from sheet metal (in this case aluminium, but stainless steel is also possible), using laser cutting, bending on a press brake, followed by TIG welding, powder coating, installing thread inserts, LED lighting, a power supply unit, opal plexiglass with UV backlit print, and assembling the lightboxes into a continuous illuminated line.
The RAL color, fully compliant with SIWZ, guarantees that the client’s aesthetic expectations are met.
Material durability – easily over a decade!
We highly recommend producing aluminium or stainless-steel lightboxes. Thanks to the high precision of our metalworking department – especially in laser cutting – the accuracy of lettering is much higher than in dibond-milled lightboxes.
A CNC milling cutter for dibond typically has a diameter of 2–3 mm, which makes it impossible to achieve perfectly sharp internal corners in letters. A laser beam, however, has a diameter of only 0.3 mm, allowing for exceptionally sharp and precise detail.
This is yet another technological advantage that elevates the standard of our products.
We invite you to place orders for aluminium or stainless-steel lightboxes.
