How We Pack Our LED Lightboxes


The team at Porta-Trace carefully prepares each stainless steel LED lightbox for shipping. We've been building lightboxes for over 30 years, and even though the technology continues to improve, our hands-on approach remains the same. Before any unit leaves our shop, we inspect, clean, and carefully pack it by hand. Artists, engineers, and labs around the world trust these light boxes. They shine with bright LED lights and showcase a clean, professional look that lasts a long time. What may look like just packing is, in fact, the final step in a process we've been perfecting for decades. It isn't about mass production—it's about quality and pride in every single unit we ship out.
