Lightbox Displays
The premium finish for retail and high-end booths. LED-illuminated tension-fabric that glows from edge to edge — no visible seams, no dark spots.

Overview
A lightbox display upgrades a static graphic into something the eye can't ignore. The uniform LED backlight through printed tension fabric produces a glow that's brighter than ambient light in a retail store or trade show booth — which is exactly the point. It's the difference between a graphic you see and a graphic you can't look away from.
We build on the Orbus Formulate Backlit platform. Aluminum extrusion frames house edge-lit LED strips that push light evenly across a tension-fabric graphic. Portable configurations for trade show booths (sets up in 30 minutes, packs into a rolling case). Wall-mounted permanent versions for retail interiors, hospitality lobbies, and corporate lobby feature walls.

Our process
How CorPro produces and installs lightbox displays.
- 01
Application consult
Trade show vs. retail vs. corporate lobby — different lighting spec, different mounting, different sizing.
- 02
Design + proof
Backlit graphics need slightly different dot gain than front-lit; we handle the file prep and show you the proof under simulated backlight.
- 03
Print + build
Print, tension-fit graphic, assemble frame with LED array, QC full illumination in our shop before shipping or install.
- 04
Ship or install
Portable configurations ship in a rolling case. Wall-mount configurations we can install on-site within the greater Rockford region.

FAQ
Lightbox Displays — common questions.
Not seeing your question? The fastest way to get an answer is the quote form — we usually respond within a business day.
- Yes — that's the biggest reason to invest in a lightbox over a static print. The frame and LED array last 10+ years; the graphic is the reprint item.
- Bright enough to be legible in a fully-lit retail store or trade show hall (typically 800–1200 lumens per square meter through the fabric). Dimmable if you need less.
- LEDs run cool — the frame is warm to the touch after hours of run time, never hot. Rated for continuous 24/7 operation.
- 3–4 weeks for a first-time build. Reprint graphics for existing hardware: 5–7 business days.
