What the bespoke LED lightbox Lead Time Includes
The production timeline of a bespoke LED lightbox covers artwork finalisation, component preparation, customisation, quality check, and packaging. It does not include design approval time, which is in the customer’s control. Submitting a complete brief with good quality files and approving the mock-up quickly compresses the total time from enquiry to despatch.
How to Plan Your Order Around an Event
Add your delivery address location to the production window. Standard UK delivery after despatch is typically one to two working days. For Scotland, Northern Ireland, or remote areas, allow an extra day.
For an event on a Friday, target order approval by the previous Monday at the latest. This gives a seven-working-day window to production plus two days delivery, with one day contingency. Cutting it closer than this adds risk.

What Delays an Order
The most common cause of delay is a brief that needs multiple revision cycles. A logo supplied in the wrong format, missing colour specifications, or unclear sizing information all add time between enquiry and mock-up approval. Submitting a complete, detailed brief at the start compresses the timeline significantly.
Is There a Rush Order Option
Urgent timelines should be flagged at the point of enquiry. Contact the Boardsy team directly to discuss whether your specific timeline can be accommodated before placing an order.
Seven to ten working days is the standard window. It is enough time for most event and exhibition orders when planned correctly. The risk is always in leaving it too late.
