In projects using backlit frames, the key decision is not only about the structure itself, but above all about the material the graphic is printed on. It determines how light interacts with the print, how details appear, and how long the display maintains its visual quality.
At Labo Print, material selection is treated as part of a broader production process — an element of the One Stop Shop approach and the Advertising Production House model, where design, technology and usage conditions are considered together.
Material adapted to real display conditions
Samba material has been developed for backlit graphics working in various environments — from retail spaces and exhibition displays to outdoor installations. It performs best where even light diffusion, high print detail and long-term visual stability are essential.
Thanks to continuous process optimisation at Labo Print, Samba now offers even greater flexibility in planning projects. It allows solutions to be better matched to the nature of the project, campaign duration and installation environment — while maintaining high visual quality.
When is Samba material the right choice?
Samba material works particularly well in projects such as:
• graphics mounted in backlit frames
• retail displays and visual communication in public spaces
• outdoor applications exposed to changing conditions
• projects requiring high image detail
• campaigns where durability and visual consistency are essential
An additional advantage is the material’s availability in widths of up to 5 metres, enabling large backlit graphics to be produced in a single piece — without the need for seams. In practice, this means a more consistent visual effect and greater design freedom for large-format implementations.
Samba is a solution for projects that require a durable backlit material with high detail — often chosen as an alternative to Lightbox UV and Textile Backlight when the balance between quality and cost efficiency matters.
This is not simply about changing the material, but about better matching the technology to how the display is used — its duration, installation environment and expected visual result.
Material selection as part of the process
At Labo Print, material choice is not a single technical decision, but part of a broader project strategy. It influences visual communication, display durability and the overall effectiveness of the implementation.
Samba does not compete solely on price — its strength lies in offering better alignment between visual quality, durability and real-world application.
