A light box is a flat box comprised of translucent plastic or glass that is evenly lit from behind to showcase art, photography, or advertising. Light boxes allow for dramatic displays in movie theaters, airports, commercial businesses, and outdoor venues. They are also used in scientific research and other fields where high contrast and visibility is crucial.
Utilizing plastic in light box production allows for greater impact resistance and weight reduction. Certain plastics also eliminate glare and hot spots, while offering UV filtering properties not found in other materials. These plastics can be custom-engineered to meet specific display needs, ensuring durability and longevity even in harsh weather conditions. Furthermore, the flexibility of plastic enables manufacturers to create more intricate designs, providing unique visual appeal for various industries.
