Export Line
A grounded route for export-ready lightbox projects in South Africa, for teams who already handle production and dispatch.
Dispatch prep for cross-border lightboxes
Export Line is for lightbox projects that need to be prepared for dispatch beyond South Africa. It focuses on production readiness, packing requirements and the practical details that matter before shipment.
Export Line starts with the exact frame format, packed dimensions, voltage requirements, and destination venue details. A freestanding retail lightbox for Gaborone is handled differently from hanging fabric frames heading to an expo hall in Windhoek. Carton strength, labelling, and the way LED components are separated matter before dispatch leaves South Africa.
Include clear site photos from the store, mall, or exhibition stand where the unit will be installed. Those images help tie graphic orientation, cable exit positions, and suspension points to the correct frame set. One missing photo can create confusion later when cartons are opened far from the original project team.
Documents that travel with the shipment
The pack usually needs a checked frame schedule, graphic sizes, and a packing list that matches the physical cartons. Export work also benefits from marked components so installers can identify corners, light bars, feet, or hanging hardware without unpacking every box first. The aim is to make the consignment readable at dispatch, on arrival, and during fitment.
Before widening the order, match Export Line to the relevant install record and verify every item against the final packing list. Use the contact form with the project name, venue, destination country, and the wall area or hanging position. If anything has failed before, note the fault clearly so it can be checked against the new build.
- Cartons matched to frame sections
- Graphic direction checked before packing
- Destination details logged with the brief
Dispatch conditions that affect export jobs
Export consignments often need extra attention around OR Tambo cargo handling, handover timing, and the route from production to dispatch in Gauteng. Retail programmes leaving for neighbouring countries may also need different plug types, venue access notes, or carton markings for onward delivery. Existing frames, replacement prints, and mixed orders should be listed separately so the shipment is not interpreted as one generic set.
Coastal destinations can call for tighter wrapping and better moisture protection around fabric prints and electrical parts. Inland venues with dust-heavy conditions benefit from labelled cleaning instructions for diffusers, silicone-edge graphics, and aluminium profiles. Illumination checks should be done before dispatch, especially where the destination team will not have spare LED parts on hand.

Information to send with Export Line
Send your Export Line brief with site photos, deadlines, destination details, and what has already gone wrong. Use a clear subject line that names the project and venue.
Share the venue name, destination city, required delivery window, and whether the order is wall-mounted, freestanding, or suspended. Add dimensions, quantities, artwork status, and any previous issue with wiring, packing damage, or missing hardware. This gives the project a cleaner export record before cartons are closed and labelled.
