A light up cube is a glowing, four-sided branded cube that works as a plinth, display riser or standalone feature in a shop, window or showroom. Also called an illuminated cube, it lifts a product off the shelf, reads from every direction, and turns a flat display into something that stops people. Prices start at £219, supplied UK-wide by Boardsy. If your retail display blends in, a lit cube makes it a focal point.
Quick note to save confusion: search “LED cube” and you’ll mostly find giant LED video screens shaped like cubes. This isn’t that. A light up cube is an evenly lit, branded lightbox cube, the kind you stand a product on or sit in a window, at a fraction of the cost and complexity of a video wall.
What is a light up cube used for in retail?
Three jobs, mostly:
- A plinth or riser: stand a hero product on a glowing cube and it reads as the centre of the display.
- A window feature: a lit cube pulls the eye from the pavement, especially after dark when an unlit display disappears.
- A branded block: your logo or a campaign message on all four faces, so it reads whichever way a shopper approaches.
Because a Bespoke LED Cube Light Box glows evenly on every side, it doesn’t have a bad angle, which matters in an open shop floor where people come at it from everywhere.
Why a cube beats a flat display riser
A plain riser lifts a product; it does nothing else. A lit cube lifts the product and advertises at the same time, glowing your brand while it holds the item up. In a window it works hardest in the evening, when a lit block is the only thing on a dark high street still pulling attention.
Can you brand and change it?
Yes. You choose the artwork on each face, a logo, a colour, a seasonal message, approved on a free mock-up before production. That makes one cube reusable across seasons: change the message, not the unit. For a retailer running monthly window changes, that’s a recurring print cost removed.
How big should it be?
Match it to the job. A small cube suits a counter or window riser; a larger one works as a floor-standing feature. Measure the spot and the product it’ll hold before you order, because a cube too small looks lost and one too big crowds the display. Tell us the use and we’ll point you to the right size.
