Fabric Face, frameless, illuminated, graphic displays

Fabric face, frameless, illuminated, graphic displays have been developed specifically for the convenience of the visual merchandiser. Massive graphic sizes can be achieved in-store, for example, a whole wall in a shop can have one continuous illuminated graphic along it with no more heavy acrylic panels to deal with just one simple stretchy fabric print. The fabric which the graphic is printed on is made from a flexible material that enables it to be stretched taut over the face of the light box, comparable to a skin over a drum.

The fabric face light box has one of the easiest graphic changes available, this is achieved as the fabric graphic has silicon edges stitched on which simply push into the aluminium profile at the very edges of the box sides. Fabric prints can be sent to store in a small package and any creases come out when stretched out and fitted.

Another major benefit of fabric face light boxes is that they are frameless, a complete edge-to-edge graphic area, giving the graphic the fullest impact on the customer possible. Not only is there no metal frame viewable at the front of the display, there is less depth to the box too. There are 40mm and 100mm depth options available, or because the graphic is front loading, the light box can be fully recessed into the wall with a completely flush finish. This is not only more aesthetically pleasing it is also space saving for customer flow, merchandise or other display equipment.

The graphic is printed using dye sublimation process, which not only offers high quality at 600dpi, but also enables the graphic to stretch as the fabric stretches. Also it doesn’t suffer from the glare of shop lights as it has a non-reflective finish, it is fire retardant and can even be washed if required. The fabric material has a diffuser backing to ensure the light is spread evenly across the graphic. The lighting for this display is backlit and can be generated using either traditional fluorescent tubes or energy efficient LEDs.

With all these benefits the, frameless, fabric face, illuminated, graphic displays are the perfect solution for the VM & display environment. For more information please visit Fabric Face light boxes
