Frames
Double Sided
Double sided LED fabric frames are built for positions where people approach from both directions. In a mall passage, retail aisle or open expo stand, one illuminated frame can carry two graphics and keep the message visible on each face.
Two-way visibility in busy passages
Double Sided is for LED fabric lightboxes that need to show graphics on both faces in one frame. It suits retail aisles, mall passages, and expo stands where the display must read clearly from more than one direction.
Begin with the installed size, viewing distance, suspension or freestanding method, and where power will enter the frame. Durban humidity, Johannesburg dust and venue rigging rules can all influence fabric choice, profile depth and how the unit is packed for transport. Projects for Cape Town malls or Gauteng expos also need clear access details if the frame must move through service corridors or loading bays.
A photo of the exact position helps define which side faces the stronger traffic flow. It also shows ceiling height, nearby bulkheads and whether shoppers will see the frame edge-on before they read the graphics. For repeat campaigns, keep a short note with the frame dimensions, power layout and orientation used on site.
What matters on this frame
The main requirement is even illumination across both faces without distracting hotspots or shadowing. Double sided units also need the correct fabric tension, stable assembly and graphic orientation that suits the way customers move around the display. For retail programmes, one confirmed specification is more useful than multiple versions that complicate reprints and store roll-outs.
Before extending the display concept, compare the double sided frame with the intended mounting method and lighting requirement. Check the aluminium profiles, LED components, printed skins and packing list again before dispatch. Lightbox quotes are built from the wall size, the frame depth and whether the unit is single or double sided.
- Graphics visible from both directions
- Site position checked against traffic flow
- Power entry noted before production
Site conditions that affect both faces
Double sided frames often sit in exposed positions such as aisle ends, mall walkways and island expo stands, so access and handling need attention from the start. OR Tambo freight schedules, venue build windows and loading bay rules can affect how large sections are shipped and assembled. Older centres may also have tighter service lifts or restricted installation times after trading hours.
At the coast, moisture can influence how frequently frames and fabric graphics are cleaned and inspected. Inland sites usually pick up more dust on profiles and light surfaces, especially near entrances or construction activity. During power cuts, illuminated checks must be timed properly so both printed faces can be assessed under normal operating conditions.

Double sided brief details
Send the frame size, final use, mounting style and whether each face carries the same artwork or different campaigns. Add site photos that show traffic direction, nearby obstructions and the available power position.
Where the unit is suspended, include the hanging height and any rigging information supplied by the venue. Keep that record with the product specification and artwork notes so later graphic changes match the original frame correctly.
