Innovative Improvements to the Lightbox System for Optimal Performance

The lightbox has become a prominent feature in many state-of-the-art retail displays.

If you want to add a striking visual effect to any display and highlight an advertisement more than ever before, then the lightbox is the answer.

The lightbox offers several distinctive features to the benefit of the brand, including:

  • Light from behind the image to illuminate the image.
  • Proper illumination of an image makes it more striking than a normal fabric display.
  • The versatility of the lightbox makes it suitable for use at events, retail stores, and exhibitions.
  • The image fabric can be changed without having to change the entire light and frame setup.
  • Fabric changes can thus be made cost-effectively, reducing cost-to-company when it comes to branding.

Why Our Light Boxes Are Amongst Our Best Sellers

The recent product modifications to the frame and fabric system have given our particular products several unique advantages. The latest model features the ultra-slim 50-mm aluminium frame system. This makes it possible to install the lightboxes against surfaces and walls. The previous model’s design included a 65-mm frame system. With the thinner frame system, the lightboxes display even better. Of course, this also means that lighter frames, perfectly suited for stunning visual displays at exhibitions where top service providers showcase their products.

Widely Used at Prestigious Events

You can also expect to see our stunning lightboxes at the prestigious Africa’s Travel Indaba (2-4 May 2019) and the We Are Africa exhibition (13-16 May 2019). Both these events attract thousands of visitors and with travelling often being about visual experiences, what better way to brand and make your products stand out than with the 50-mm lightbox systems available from us? If you have not yet booked your space at these events, do not delay. We also provide modular and custom-designed stands to this effect.

The easier-to-fit lightbox includes features such as:

  • A newly developed block-out fabric all the way from Germany, which prevents the LED light bulbs from being visible through the fabric display, regardless of the angle from which it is viewed.
  • Adjustable light placement, thereby allowing for more creativity when it comes to light effects.
  • Options of warm or pure white light, or a combination of the two for stunning effects.

The lightbox features heat sink in the back panel, in addition to flame-retardant fabrics. This is important for safety features, thus helping to keep your insurance company happy and ensuring that you are compliant with the occupational health and safety requirements. All our products meet the required safety standards, making them perfect for use at events such as the Africa’s Travel Indaba and the We Are Africa exhibition.

Whether you need a lightbox for a shopping centre display, a retail store, trade booth, or an international exhibition, you can rely on our products to meet your requirements. Give us a call on +27 11 447 4777 or send us an email for more information about our new lightbox system and how it can benefit you.

Modular Retail Kiosk

A Custom or Modular Retail Kiosk? Which One Is Best?

Many prospective retailers and exhibitors want to know whether they should get a modular retail kiosk or have one custom designed to meet their requirements. To answer the question, let’s first consider what a modular retail kiosk entails.

It is the basic product that can be customised, expanded, or layout changed to meet your specific retail or display requirements. Custom simply means a kiosk made specifically to meet your particular requirements.

Which One to Choose?

The custom retail kiosk is popular because it is possible to create an exact layout and visual appeal. You can order from various functionality options without having to consider whether standard features will fit in the space. The height and dimensions are according to your requirements. However, it is more expensive than the modular retail kiosk, but it is specific to a particular function and appearance.

Modular, as the word suggests, entails a base product from which one works. It is comprised of preassembled parts. This type of retail kiosk can be used in just about any exhibition setting. Whether you want to use it in store, make such available to exhibitors in your retail centre, or want to use it at trade shows, it is lightweight, easy to change, and features standardised components. To this end, the modular retail kiosk is also more budget friendly.

If you are looking for exhibition spaces that can easily be changed for various events or retailers in your shopping mall, then the modular retail kiosk system provides superb value for your investment. The setup is quick, so if time is of the essence, the modular retail kiosk is the answer.

With the custom-designed option, our designers work with you to determine specific power outlet spots, maintenance needs, and more. It is thus a perfect fit for your requirements. With the modular concept, the designers plan before the time to ensure easy maintenance and optimal functionality.

If, for instance, older electronic equipment fails with a custom kiosk setup, it may not be as easy as with a modular design to fit a new piece of equipment. The old type of equipment may no longer be available and you may thus have no other choice than to fit a new piece of electronic equipment, such as a newer-model lightbox or monitor. With the modular retail kiosk, it is no problem and quick replacement can thus be done.

What About a Hybrid Solution?

In some instances, it may even be better to work with a hybrid of custom and modular. To this end, you can also rely on our team of designers to customise modular retail kiosks to fit your mall, exhibition, or event requirements. In this way, you receive the advantages offered by both options. Sometimes, a custom design is just not practical enough. And, sometimes, a bit more customisation may be needed to ensure the modular retail kiosk can work with a particular brand or functionality requirement.

We provide you with all three options, ensuring that your display and retail needs can be met.

How Brochure Stands at Exhibitions Help to Make Your Brand More Visible

With exciting events coming up, such as Africa’s Travel Indaba (2-4 May 2019) in Durban, exhibitors are getting ready to amaze and dazzle visitors to the large trade show. Others are getting ready for We Are Africa to be hosted in Cape Town from the 13th to the 16th of May 2019. This is said to be one of the most prestigious trade shows of its kind with luxury travel providers coming together to showcase their offerings.

If you have not yet booked space at one of these two travel tradeshows, do so quickly. You will have the opportunity to interact with thousands of potential clients and can make your brand stand out. To this end, we also recommend ordering one or more brochure stands for exhibitions.

Made specifically for exhibitions, these brochure stands are lightweight in design, easy to maintain, and just as easy to transport.

With years of experience in designing modular and custom kiosks, trade booths, light boxes, counters, and brochure stands for exhibitions, we understand the requirements of exhibitors.

These brochure stands provide additional display spaces. Visitors to your trade booth can take brochures from the floor-standing, wall-mounted, or counter-top brochure display stands. We know how important sturdiness, safety, quality, and functionality are when it comes to the design and manufacturing of brochure stands for exhibitions. As such, we do not disappoint with our extensive range.

Yes, you can make use of digital kiosks to provide information to visitors, but many visitors at exhibitions want material that they can take with them, rather than just getting information from digital kiosks. To this end, you will want to use brochure stands to enable visitors access to information without the need for sales consultants. The brochure stands should complement your exhibition style, should be sturdy enough not to fall over from the slightest of bumps, and elegant enough to ensure that your display materials are seen and appreciated as stylish.
