Counter types

Choose a backlit counter or LED lightbox counter

Several families of lightbox counters cover the range, from a 560mm high inflatable unit to a 2950mm wide light counter, including the Illumigo, Insta and IllumiLOCK counters. Each is a portable display counter with a backlit graphic, so the difference is build, size and how much weight the top takes.

Compare each lightbox exhibition counter by size and load

Match the unit to the job. A sampling stand needs something light and quick; a front desk that holds a laptop and brochures needs a frame that takes more weight.

Where they work

Where a portable LED counter or promotional counter earns its space

An illuminated unit does two jobs on a stand: it gives your team a front desk and adds a lit exhibition display at eye level for people walking past.

01

Trade show front desk

At a major trade show, a Casonara 100M or 200M gives you a 1m or 2m wide lit desk for a laptop, card reader and brochure stack, with up to 60kg of load on the 100M.

02

Pop up counter for sampling and launches

WaveLight Air units are portable counters for food sampling, ticketing and product display at launches. The square and round minis are 560mm high, the medium versions 970mm.

03

Display counter for a small booth

Check your available floor space. On a 2m x 2m plot, the 500mm wide Casonara 50M or a 600mm square Air unit keeps the floor clear while still adding light to a portable exhibition booth.

04

Lit lectern or welcome point

The double-sided WaveLight Air podium is 300mm deep, so it fits at a stage edge or an entrance as a slim illuminated welcome point or a stand for display products.

How it works

How backlight and a printed graphic light up your brand

An LED counter has its illumination inside the body, so the backlight shines through a full colour printed graphic. On Casonara light counters the print is a dye-sublimation backlit stretch fabric pillowcase, which makes it a true fabric exhibition counter that pulls over all four sides, so the unit glows evenly whichever way visitors approach your exhibition stand.

WaveLight Air models use an inflatable core with LED lights built in. The core takes the weight of the top, packs into a travel bag and inflates in under 15 seconds with the air pump, so it suits a pop-up counter at events where you set up and leave on the same day.

  • Glopix takes a backlit print on 240gsm polyester with a silicone edge for a crease-free finish
  • Casonara frames are colour-coded for quick assembly without tools
  • Every model needs a mains socket for the power supply
  • Lifetime hardware warranty on Casonara and the Air podium

Complete the stand

Pair your LED counter with lit exhibition display stands

A lit desk works best as part of a matching professional exhibition stand. Put it in front of a backlit wall, flank it with light box banners and other promotional displays, or choose a kit that includes one.

Frequently asked questions

What is a backlit exhibition counter?
A backlit exhibition counter is a stand desk with LED lighting inside and a printed graphic round the outside. The light shines through the print, so your logo stays bright under dim hall lighting and the counter doubles as a display.
How much does an LED counter cost?
WaveLight Air inflatable counters start at £294.95 ex VAT, the Glopix LED counter light box is £478.95 and Casonara light counters run from £554.95 to £1,014.95 for the 2950mm wide 300M. Each price includes your custom printed graphic.
How much weight can the top hold?
Casonara counters are rated for 35kg to 80kg evenly distributed, depending on size, and the Glopix counter for about 20kg. That is enough for a laptop, a card reader and a stack of brochures at a trade show.
Which counter is quickest to set up?
The inflatable exhibition counter inflates in under 15 seconds once the air pump is connected, then you fit the top. Glopix and Casonara models use tool-free assembly, with colour-coded parts on Casonara.
Do I need an air pump?
Only for the WaveLight Air range and podium. The WaveLight Air Pump 500W is sold separately. Glopix and Casonara models have rigid frames and do not need a pump.
Can I change the graphic?
Yes. Each model takes a removable printed graphic, so you can order a replacement for a new campaign and keep the same frame or inflatable core.
Is the counter lit on all sides?
Casonara models use a 4-sided backlit pillowcase print, so they glow on every side. The Glopix lightbox counter is single-sided as standard, with a double-sided print option, and the Air podium is double-sided.
How do LED counters travel?
Casonara counters ship in a CA700 hard case with wheels. WaveLight Air counters pack into a nylon carry bag made from 100% recycled materials, and the Glopix counter comes with a padded carry case.
Which size LED counter do I need?
Measure the front of your plot and leave at least a metre of walkway. A 500mm or 600mm unit suits a small stand, a 1000mm wide model suits most 3m stands, and the 1975mm or 2950mm Casonara models work as a full front desk on larger stands.
What file format should my artwork be?
Print-ready artwork as a high resolution PDF works best, with fonts outlined and images at full size. If you only have a logo, our team can build the large format layout for you, then send a print proof for approval.
What artwork do I need for a backlit counter?
Send your logo and artwork and we prepare it to the template for your model. FREE artwork design or proofing is included, and you approve a print proof before we print. Keep text and logos away from the edges on a pillowcase print.
Can I use an LED counter outside exhibitions?
Yes. The same illuminated units work in a showroom, a shopping centre promotion, a hotel lobby or a conference registration point, anywhere indoors with a power socket.
Why choose an LED counter over a standard counter?
A standard counter only carries a flat print. An LED exhibition counter adds illumination behind custom printed graphics, which keeps branded graphics readable under poor hall lighting and turns one of your display units into a second illuminated display solution for a custom exhibition booth.
