Light box advertising is beautiful and powerful. At night, the exquisite pictures can easily attract people's attention. It also brings good publicity effects and has been well received by merchants. Advertising sign companies are also receiving more and more business in the production of light boxes. So what materials are often used in the production of light box advertisements?
01.Lightbox frame
The light box frame material is mainly aluminum profiles, with a small amount of stainless steel and cold plate being used. The double frame of the base is made of steel or stainless steel welding, and the pattern cover is made of glass plates, plexiglass plates, light box cloth, etc. The main components of small door heads, pole-type and hanging light boxes are injection molded frames, and the pattern covers are mostly made of glass, plexiglass or transparent plastic plates.
02.Pattern printing carrier
There are many types of light box picture materials. The most commonly used ones are light box cloth, photo materials, light sheets, soft films, etc. So what are the advantages and differences of these materials?
A.Light box cloth
Light box fabric is a light box signature fabric composed of two layers of PVC and one layer of high-strength mesh cloth. It is divided into two types: internal lighting and external lighting. Light box cloth is divided into three types according to the light transmittance and the position of the light source: internal lighting light box cloth, external lighting light box cloth and mesh cloth.
Internal lighting light box cloth is used to make rear light source light boxes, and its light transmittance is generally between 25% and 35%. This type of light boxes are mostly medium and small, and are often used to make roadside light boxes, store door light boxes and indoor promotional light boxes.
External lighting light box cloth is used to make front light source light boxes, and its light transmittance is generally between 5% and 10%. This type of light box is more resistant to typhoons, so it is often used to make large outdoor light boxes. Currently, large outdoor light boxes between 100-400㎡ in China mostly use this type of light cloth.
Mesh cloth is designed and produced according to typhoon climate areas such as Taiwan and Fujian. Since the surface of this type of material is densely arranged with many meshes, it can allow wind to pass through the surface of the light cloth, so it can greatly reduce the pressure of typhoons on the light box and make the picture more beautiful. Long-lasting outdoor use.
B.Photography cloth
Photo cloth is a relatively traditional cloth material. Because of its relatively low price, the production cost is equivalent to the cost of PP material plus cold laminating film, and it can save a series of laminating processes. It is now used in many fields. Photo cloth replaces traditional consumables to make hanging pictures or background pictures.
C.Light box piece
Light box sheets are mainly used to make advertising light boxes. Currently, the light boxes on the market can be divided into the following types according to their materials and production methods:
Distinguished according to the purpose of the lamps:
There are two types of slides and advertising light boxes;
Distinguished according to the material of the lamp:
There are transparent lamps, back-burning lamps, front-burning lamps, outdoor lamps, etc.
There are three common lamp materials on the market: acrylic, transparent PET, and white background PET. What kind of lamps the customer chooses mainly depends on the customer's usage environment and purpose.
In addition, after the UV flatbed printer prints out, the lamps must be placed properly to avoid being scratched on the ground when the ink is not completely dry after printing, causing damage to the image and affecting the image effect. Also, when feeding the paper downwards, do not let the light sheets overlap. First, creases will easily appear. Second, the wet ink will easily stick together.
D. Soft film, 3P cloth
The soft film material is soft and delicate, with a certain degree of elasticity. There must be a light box position so that the picture is clear and three-dimensional under lighting conditions. There must be card slots around the installation position to facilitate the silicone strips to be inserted and installed. The particularity of the material makes it difficult to install when exposed to cold (especially in the north, where the size may shrink). You can first place it on top of the lamp to heat it for a few minutes, or blow it with a hair dryer to soften it, then straighten it and embed it in the corresponding light box position.
The surface of 3P cloth and UV soft film are very similar. If you look closely, you can see that the luster of the soft film is brighter, without obvious cloth marks, it feels gentler when touched by hand, and the stretch elasticity is stronger. It can be stretched to 101 meters by 100 meters. About meters.
The 3P cloth, on the other hand, has an obvious texture contrast between the two, has a softer touch than the soft film, and does not stretch that much. For example, 100cm can be stretched to within 100.5cm at most.
03. Auxiliary light facilities
The auxiliary light of the light box (commonly known as lighting) is designed according to the structure of the pattern picture, the printing material, the thickness of the printing ink layer, and the pattern format. In the past, ordinary fluorescent lamps were mostly used. With the application of new lamps, the auxiliary light of light boxes has also developed from a single lighting to multiple types of lighting methods, especially LED light sources, which have become the main light source of current light boxes due to their energy saving and high brightness. The quality, uniformity and softness of the resulting images have been greatly improved.
04.Classification of light boxes
