Durable backlit films with extraordinary print quality
Lightboxes and illuminated totems are popular ways to display advertising, branding campaigns, and essential information such as wayfinding and promotional details, but the media inside the box determines the quality of any display.
Our range of backlit films provides the perfect solution for high-quality, wide-format print runs. You can specify backlit media in various weights, with our Max-Flat Backlit Media available in 2.2m and 3.2m widths with stable lay-flat properties.
Another option for high-quality printing is the Imagetech Front Print Display Film, which is ideal for lightboxes and available in 1,100mm and 1,520mm widths.
They are prevalent in showrooms, art galleries, supermarkets, shopping centres, hotels, cinemas, and corporate venues. You don’t necessarily need a unique light source – perhaps only a streetlight or window for indoor installations.
Our films let you produce high-quality displays without breaking the bank, with all products sold at trade prices. Best of all, our backlit media is compatible with Eco-solvent, Solvent, and UV-C and Latex inks, with no lamination required.
Please get in touch if you need help choosing the most suitable materials for your use case. We can also send out free samples of the products you’re interested in.

They include Imagetech Front Print Backlit Display Film with 200mic thickness and Max-Flat Backlit Media with 330mic thickness. These materials are suitable for illuminated advertising with a direct light source.

You can install these films on walls, suspended from ceilings, and freestanding providing the media is inserted into a suitable lightbox. Simply trim the film to size, insert it into the box, and close the frame, which should have a snap-fit closure.
