Best Displays & Graphics Introduces Companies to the Latest in Banner Backlighting Technology

January 29th, 2015

Looking to grab the attention of tradeshow attendees? Banner lighting trends are changing and one of the newest innovations to hit tradeshows involves the use of backlit graphics. As one of the leaders in the graphics industry, Best Displays & Graphics recommends that businesses who want to make an impact at tradeshows use backlit technology because of its current popularity and versatility. Backlighting can be used with almost any display options including banner stands, backwalls, towers, and counters to name a few. 

What are Backlit Graphics?

Backlighting can enhance the attractiveness of any banner by adding bright and compelling visuals to it. In simple terms, backlighting incorporates different types of light sources behind an electronic display to increase readability while attracting passersby at tradeshows.

Best Displays & Graphics have spent many months considering which fabric, ink, and printer should be used for different backlit displays so as to ensure the final product has even light distribution for the displays and has the desired effect from what the clients are looking for.  For example, if using a white graphic it is necessary to purchase dense and tight material to prevent too much light from casting through the fabric.

The Different Types of Backlighting Sources

When looking to add a backlit touch to a display, it is important to recognize that there are 3 distinct backlighting sources: fluorescent, Light Emitting Diode (LED), and natural light/existing store light. After natural light, flourescent lighting is the most affordable and traditionally used; however the quality of light is not as good as other source. LEDs, on the other hand, are the most environmentally friendly of the bunch. The most crucial element to picking the ideal lighting source depends on what the end customer wants the colours on their display to look like. Additionally, businesses can also choose to combine different sources to create different effects on various banner parts.

How to Choose the Right Material for Backit Banners

Once deciding to use backlighting, it is necessary to consider 6 factors: amount, location, duration, and application. Best Displays & Graphics designs displays for all types of industries and knows that each project requires different considerations. This will help decide what type of graphics should be used and, consequently, the best fabric for the graphic. From semi opaque films made from polyester, PVC, and melamine to adhesive-backed vinyl backlit film, and lightweight fabrics printed with vibrant colours, businesses have countless options available to them.
