Lightboxes
We make lightboxes for shop fronts, restaurants, menus and interiors: lit signs made in one piece, from a small round logo box to large signs on shopping centre walls. The street-facing lightbox at Bad Habits, for example, is about 2.8 × 1.6 m. A lightbox also suits logos and longer texts that would be hard to make as separate letters. Smaller lightboxes we make ourselves; large ones are built to our drawings by our partners.
Types of lightboxes
- Acrylic face: the most common and most affordable option. The face is acrylic covered with sign film in your colours. Acrylic sheets go up to about 2 × 3 m, so larger boxes show joints on the face.
- Lit fabric face: backlit fabric instead of acrylic, with no joints. Our choice for large boxes, up to about 4 m high.
- Cut-out aluminium face: your logo is cut into an aluminium face and the light shines through the openings. Good for detailed logos, and it can have raised acrylic letters that stay readable from an angle.
- Raised logo on a lit background: the whole face glows, with the background and the raised logo in different colours. Useful when your brand colour is the background.
- Projecting lightbox: fixed to the wall by one side, so your name can be seen from along a street or a shopping centre corridor.
- Poster lightbox: a thin LED frame that opens from the front, for posters and menus you change often. Single- or double-sided; for the wall, the ceiling or a window.
- Combined with neon: a lightbox with neon lettering or a neon sign above it, as we did for Gun Garage and Bad Habits.
The body is aluminium, painted in any RAL colour, and lit with LED modules.
How ordering works
- Send us your logo and the place. The logo or artwork, the size you need and a photo of where the lightbox will go.
- Get a visual and a quote. The visual shows the lightbox in place with its dimensions, so you know exactly what will be made.
- Production takes 2–3 weeks after you approve the design.
- Delivery or installation. We install throughout Estonia, and abroad through our network of qualified installers. Installation is priced separately.
What affects the price
- first of all the size of the lightbox;
- then the type: acrylic, fabric, cut-out aluminium or raised logo;
- one or two lit sides;
- indoor or outdoor use;
- installation and transport.
We price every lightbox individually. Send us your idea and we'll come back with a quote.
Our work
For Bad Habits we made 3 custom lightboxes, among them the large one facing the street. Other lightboxes in our portfolio include Anadolu Gourmet, Gun Garage and the Bad Habits Uptown menu board. See the Bad Habits project and more of our work.
Frequently asked questions
How long does it take?
2–3 weeks after you approve the design. If you have an opening date, tell us before ordering.
Can a lightbox go outdoors?
Yes. The Bad Habits street lightbox hangs outside. For large outdoor boxes we recommend a lit fabric face, which has no joints.
Can I change the graphics later?
With a poster lightbox, yes: the frame opens from the front and you change the poster yourself. For a logo lightbox, ask us what it would take for your box.
Do you install?
Yes, throughout Estonia. Abroad, our qualified partner installers do it. Installation is quoted separately for each project.
What warranty do I get?
The statutory two-year liability for defects applies.
Does a facade sign need a permit?
In Tallinn a facade sign has to be approved by the city district, and the building owner has to agree. We prepare the drawings and the photomontage the application needs, and if you'd like we file the application for you as a separate service. Allow up to 30 days for the decision.
