Backlit
vinyl

We print backlit vinyl for illuminated sign boxes, lightboxes, street advertising lightboxes, sign faces and large illuminated displays. Designed for displays lit from behind, it requires the right colour saturation, a clear message and an even appearance when illuminated. We work with retail chains, FMCG brands and agencies that need consistent visual communication across multiple locations. We focus on even illumination, clear graphics and the right colour saturation when backlit. We handle pilot runs and nationwide rollouts, with logistics tailored to the campaign schedule.

Backlit vinyl for sign boxes and lightboxes

Backlit vinyl is a material designed for illuminated advertising displays. Its structure makes it well suited to sign boxes, lightboxes and large-format displays where graphics need to remain clear both in daylight and when backlit.

Typical applications include:

advertising sign box faces,
large-format lightboxes,
illuminated structures in shopping centres,
outdoor and indoor displays,
pylons, totems and illuminated advertising displays,
graphics for retail chains, shops, showrooms and service outlets.

We select the material and print method to suit the structure, lighting type and desired visual effect.

Backlit printing: UV double strike or printing with an underprint

We use UV technology to print backlit vinyl. Depending on the design and display, we can use double strike printing or an underprint to improve colour saturation and graphic clarity when illuminated.

For illuminated displays, the following are particularly important:

the right colour density,
legible text and symbols,
deep blacks when backlit,
consistent colours across the print run,
graphics adapted to the lighting type and display structure.

For larger jobs or projects that require a check of the backlit effect, we can prepare a sample or reference print for approval.

Up to 500 cm wide in one piece

One of the key advantages of backlit vinyl is the ability to produce large formats in one piece. We print graphics up to 500 cm wide, making it easier to create large sign box and lightbox faces without visible joins in the material.

This solution is well suited to:

large sign boxes on building façades,
wide lightboxes in shopping centres and arcades,
illuminated displays in showrooms,
displays across retail chains,
projects that require a seamless graphic surface.

We agree the dimensions, fitting allowance and edge preparation based on the display structure and installation guidelines.

Finishing and preparation for installation

We prepare backlit vinyl for the specific installation method. We select the finishing to suit the display structure, dimensions and technical requirements.

Available options:

cutting to size,
welded edge reinforcement,
fixing eyelets,
sleeves for poles, cables or tensioning systems,
fitting allowances,
sorting and packing by location, size or display list.

For large formats, correct material tension and finishing that suits the structure are essential. We agree the installation specification based on the brief, sign box dimensions and method of securing the graphic.

Production for retail chains, brands and agencies

We produce backlit vinyl graphics for brands, retail chains, shopping centres, sales outlets, advertising display operators and agencies managing outdoor and retail campaigns. We can prepare individual graphics, runs for several locations or larger rollouts organised by size and installation site.

Our service includes:

selecting the material to suit the structure and lighting,
checking files before production,
UV double strike printing or printing with an underprint,
producing large formats up to 500 cm wide in one piece,
cutting, welding, eyelets or sleeves,
packing and labelling packages by location.

Send us your brief, sign box or lightbox dimensions and installation details. We will select the material, print option and finishing, and plan the production schedule for your backlit vinyl graphics.

What are backlit vinyl graphics?

Backlit vinyl graphics are printed on backlit material designed for illuminated displays such as sign boxes, lightboxes, sign faces, pylons and illuminated totems.
Is backlit vinyl suitable for large sign boxes?

Yes. Backlit vinyl works well for large formats and flexible sign box faces. We can produce graphics up to 500 cm wide in one piece, depending on the project specification.
How does UV double strike printing work?

UV double strike printing increases colour saturation by using a suitable configuration of print layers. For backlit graphics, this helps improve visibility and colour when illuminated. We select the print option based on the design and display.
Can backlit vinyl be printed with an underprint?

Yes. We use an underprint on selected projects where the required backlit effect, material type or display structure calls for it. We tailor the specification to each project.
What is the day & night technique for backlit graphics?

The day & night technique uses an underprint to reveal selected elements of the graphic only when the display is illuminated. This means part of the design may be invisible or less visible with the lighting switched off, then appear when the sign box or lightbox is lit. We agree the specification for this effect individually, based on the design and display type.
