Lightboxes for shops, menus and displays

DSS Custom Builds makes lightbox signage for retail, hospitality and display spaces in Melbourne. Tell us where it will go, what it needs to show and how it will be viewed.

A lightbox can display a business name, menu, campaign graphic or event message. The right format depends on the space, viewing distance and whether the sign is indoors or exposed to weather.

Send us approximate dimensions, a photo of the location and your artwork or logo. We can discuss suitable lighting, materials, mounting and any installation or electrical requirements before quoting.

What to include in a lightbox enquiry

Tell us where the sign will be used and what it needs to display. Include whether it is for a shopfront, menu board, event or other setting.

Share approximate width and height, a photo or drawing of the location, and the distance from which people need to read it.

Send your logo or artwork, note any available power point, and tell us about access or mounting constraints.

Let us know the date you need it and whether installation is required. These details help us define the scope and provide a useful quote.

Illuminated menu boards

For a menu board, readable type and a clear layout matter as much as illumination. Tell us where customers will stand, the available space and whether the menu will change regularly.

Send your menu artwork, approximate dimensions and any brand colours. We can discuss a display format and a practical approach to future artwork updates.

Shopfront and retail lightboxes

A retail lightbox can carry a store name, product message or campaign graphic. Its size and placement should suit the sightline and the amount of space available.

For a shopfront or exposed location, tell us about weather exposure, access and the surface available for mounting. We can confirm a suitable specification during quoting.

If the sign will be viewed from the street, include a photo of the frontage and the approximate viewing distance. Share any landlord or centre requirements as well.

Lightboxes can be built in very different ways to suit the venue, mounting position and effect required. These DSS projects show three approaches to illuminated signage.

Paris Cat illuminated sign with gold frame and lit cat logo

Paris Cat, Melbourne CBD

DSS made this venue sign with laser-cut black and white acrylic, tinted acrylic inserts and a gold powder-coated frame. An unlit writing panel gives Paris Cat space to update the artist appearing each night.

Illuminated acrylic box

For another client, DSS enclosed bright, neon-style lettering in a clear acrylic box. The transparent housing lets the illuminated shape become the focus of the display.

Margalit Injury Lawyers illuminated hanging lightbox mounted under an awning

Margalit Injury Lawyers

These hanging awning lightboxes combined acrylic components with a specialised matte-black finish. The faces were blacked out around the lettering to keep the illumination controlled and the sign clear from the street.
