Light Box Signs
Illuminated Light Box Signs for New Jersey Storefronts
Light box signs give storefronts a bright, readable sign face that carries the full logo, colors, and message inside one illuminated cabinet. They are especially useful when the brand needs detailed artwork, several colors, stacked copy, or a full graphic face rather than separate fabricated letters.

Illuminated Sign Cabinets
Illuminated Sign Cabinets for Storefronts and Commercial Buildings
A light box sign uses a fabricated cabinet, internal LEDs, and a translucent rigid face to light the business name, logo, and graphics as one complete sign. Compared with individual letters, the cabinet gives the artwork one continuous surface, which works well for detailed logos, multiple lines of copy, and brands that rely on a larger graphic field.
Gogi Signs builds exterior light box signs around the actual storefront, sign band, viewing distance, electrical conditions, mounting surface, and local requirements. Projects can include site measurements, shop drawings, cabinet fabrication, sign-face production, permit assistance, electrical coordination, and installation.
Common applications include retail storefronts, restaurants and cafes, medical and dental offices, professional offices, shopping-center tenants, and multi-location businesses.
Light Box Sign Formats
Wall-Mounted and Projecting Light Box Signs
The cabinet format should match the way customers approach the business. A wall-mounted single-face sign reads from the front, while a double-face projecting cabinet is designed for visibility from two directions along the sidewalk or commercial corridor.
Single-Face Light Box Signs
A single illuminated face is mounted against a wall or storefront so customers read the sign from the front. This format works well above entrances, across storefront fascia, and on commercial building walls.
Double-Face Light Box Signs
Two illuminated faces allow the sign to be read from opposing directions. These cabinets can work as projecting signs where sidewalk traffic approaches along the building line rather than only from straight ahead.
Sign Faces & Graphics
Light Box Face Materials and Translucent Graphics
The face controls how the artwork looks during the day and how the light passes through it after dark. Acrylic or polycarbonate can be specified around cabinet size, exposure, graphic requirements, and the finished sign construction.
-
Acrylic Faces
A common rigid face option for illuminated sign cabinets where the finished size, cabinet design, and site conditions suit acrylic. -
Polycarbonate Faces
A durable rigid plastic face option often considered for larger or more exposed sign applications.
-
Translucent Graphics
Logos, lettering, colors, and background graphics should be prepared for illumination so the sign reads properly both lit and unlit. -
Custom Face Shapes
Cabinet and face geometry can follow selected custom shapes when the fabrication, lighting, mounting, and permit conditions support the design.
Light Box Sign Sizes
Common Light Box Sign Sizes and Custom Storefront Sizes
Many light box signs are custom-built to the available sign band, but common rectangular dimensions are useful starting points when planning scale. These examples are reference sizes rather than fixed stock sizes. The final cabinet should fit the property and approved sign area.
24" × 48"
A compact 2 ft × 4 ft cabinet for smaller storefronts, tenant panels, offices, and locations with limited sign-band height.
24" × 72"
A wider 2 ft × 6 ft format that gives a business name or horizontal logo more room without increasing the sign height.
36" × 72"
A 3 ft × 6 ft storefront format with more vertical space for logos, secondary copy, or brands that need stronger street visibility.
48" × 96"
A larger 4 ft × 8 ft cabinet for broad storefront sign areas and commercial locations that need more viewing distance.
Custom Sizes
Custom Light Box Signs Built to the Available Sign Area
Custom cabinets can be fabricated around the storefront width, logo proportions, viewing distance, mounting area, face material, cabinet depth, and local sign requirements. Horizontal, square, taller, and selected custom-shape cabinets can be considered when the site and fabrication requirements support them.
-
Before Final Sizing
Confirm the available sign area, storefront dimensions, landlord criteria, viewing distance, electrical location, mounting conditions, and any municipal size limits.
Cabinet Construction
How LED Light Box Signs Are Built
The cabinet needs enough depth and internal space for the LED layout, rigid sign face, wiring, power supplies, mounting, and future service access.
Cabinet Depth
Cabinet depth starts around 3 inches and increases when the face size, LED spacing, structure, or mounting method requires more room.
LED Layout
LED modules are spaced inside the cabinet to light the sign face consistently across the finished graphic area.
Sign Face & Frame
The cabinet profile holds the rigid translucent face securely while allowing access when the face or lighting needs service.
Power & Service Access
Wiring, power supplies, penetrations, and service points are planned around the cabinet and available building access.
Mounting & Site Conditions
Mounting and Electrical Requirements for Exterior Light Box Signs
Wall construction, available sign area, electrical access, cabinet projection, landlord criteria, local sign rules, and installation access all affect how an exterior light box should be mounted.
A site survey can confirm the usable dimensions, mounting surface, power location, access conditions, and nearby signs before final shop drawings and fabrication.
-
Wall-Mounted Cabinets
Mounted against the facade or storefront where the sign is primarily viewed from the front. -
Projecting Cabinets
Mounted perpendicular to the wall where pedestrians or traffic approach from either direction along the storefront. -
Electrical Access
The sign location should be coordinated with available power, wiring routes, power supplies, and service access.
-
Permit & Landlord Requirements
Cabinet size, sign area, projection, mounting, illumination, and placement may be limited by local rules or property standards. -
Installation Access
Height, sidewalk conditions, lifts, ladders, parking, work windows, and building access should be reviewed before installation.
Light Box Signs vs Channel Letters
Choose a Light Box When the Brand Needs One Illuminated Graphic Face
Both products provide permanent illuminated storefront identification, but they present the brand differently. A light box keeps the logo, colors, and copy inside one cabinet face. Channel letters separate the name or logo into individual fabricated elements. Our post on why channel letter signs are worth it covers types, mounting and permits.
Light Box Signs
Best suited to brands that need a continuous illuminated panel for detailed logos, multiple colors, stacked copy, backgrounds, or a broader graphic composition.
Channel Letters
Best suited to business names and logos that work well as individual fabricated letters or shapes, with front-lit, halo-lit, combination-lit, and other channel-letter constructions.
Light Box Sign Workflow
Site Survey, Permit Support, Fabrication, and Installation
Permanent illuminated signs should be documented before fabrication. Storefront measurements, cabinet dimensions, face artwork, mounting, electrical access, and approval requirements all need to match the final installation.
1
Site Survey
Sign area, storefront dimensions, wall conditions, viewing direction, power, access, and field photos.
2
Shop Drawings
Cabinet dimensions, depth, face, artwork, LED layout, mounting, projection, and electrical details.
3
Approvals
Landlord review and permit-support documents prepared where the property or municipality requires them.
4
Fabrication
Cabinet, rigid face, graphics, LED lighting, wiring, brackets, and mounting components produced to the approved specification.
5
Installation
Cabinet mounted, electrical work coordinated, sign tested, and final placement reviewed on site.
Existing Light Boxes
Replacement Light Box Faces, LED Repair, and Rebranding
If the existing cabinet is still structurally usable, a business may only need a new sign face, updated graphics, or lighting service. Cabinet condition, face dimensions, retainers, mounting, and electrical components should be checked before deciding whether to reuse or replace the full sign.
-
Replacement Sign Faces
Produce a new compatible face when the cabinet remains serviceable but the branding, tenant, colors, or graphics have changed. -
LED & Electrical Service
Investigate dark areas, failed lighting, power-supply issues, or other illumination problems inside the cabinet.
-
Cabinet Repair
Review damaged retainers, cabinet sections, mounts, faces, or other components before deciding whether repair or replacement is appropriate. -
Complete Rebranding
Replace the face, cabinet, or full sign assembly when a new business identity or property standard requires a different sign.
