1000mm Foldable LED Lightbox Counter: Pops Up in Under a Minute, Backlit Printing, 25kg Countertop

Some exhibition stands have an hour to set up. Some have five minutes. This counter was designed for the five-minute stand. The CT100FLED is a 1000mm foldable LED lightbox counter that pops up and packs down in under a minute. No numbered sections to match. No frame pieces to push together. The counter unfolds from its wheeled bag as a single pre-assembled unit, the backlit graphic is already fitted, and the LEDs illuminate the moment you plug in. The front panel glows with your custom-printed branding at counter height while the black countertop gives you a working surface for laptops, literature and product samples. The slim 85mm profile creates a sleeker, more contemporary silhouette than the standard 120mm counter. Custom backlit printing included in the price. Transformers integrated inside the frame. Fire retardant graphics. Wheeled bag. For exhibitors, event teams and pop-up retail operators who value speed above all else, this is the counter that is ready before the rest of the stand.

Why the Fastest Counter in the Range Is Also the Simplest

• Open, unfold, plug in, done: The entire counter unfolds from its transport bag as a single pre-assembled unit. No frame sections to identify. No push-fit connections. No tools. One person has a fully illuminated branded counter standing in under a minute. Pack-down is equally fast.
• Slim 85mm profile for a sleeker silhouette: The 85mm depth is noticeably slimmer than the standard 120mm lightbox counter, creating a more contemporary and less bulky appearance on the stand. For exhibitors who want the backlit impact without the visual weight of a deeper frame, the fast-fold trades depth for elegance.
• A countertop that handles a real workload: The black surface supports laptops, tablets, brochures, product samples and demonstration equipment simultaneously. The black finish suits professional staging, provides a non-reflective surface for screens, and hides the daily wear of a busy multi-day event.
• Print included, artwork on your timeline: Place your order, receive an artwork template, complete your design and send it back. The counter arrives with fire retardant backlit graphics pre-fitted to the foldable frame. When your branding changes, order a replacement graphic without replacing the counter.
• No power pack, no cable mess: Transformers are built into the frame. Plug in with a UK 3-pin plug and the front panel illuminates immediately. No external power supply on the floor. No visible cables behind the counter. The clean setup matches the speed of the fold mechanism.
• Travels in a wheeled bag, one person carries it: The folded counter packs into a wheeled bag for transport by car, courier or air. At 13.5kg one person handles it from vehicle to venue and back. The bag protects the frame, graphic and countertop during transit between events.

Where Speed of Setup Changes the Game

Order Your Counter Today and Sort the Artwork Later

You do not need your design ready to place an order. Here is how the print process works:

1. Place your order to secure your counter and start your event preparation.
2. Receive a personalised artwork template from our team within 24 hours, with instructions for the backlit graphic format.
3. Complete your artwork and send it back. Our print team reviews everything and only moves to production once satisfied the design will reproduce correctly.

Production starts once the artwork is approved. The graphic arrives pre-fitted to the foldable frame, ready to unfold and illuminate.

The standard lightbox counter assembles from numbered frame sections in approximately ten minutes. This one unfolds in under sixty seconds. The fast-fold mechanism means the entire counter arrives as a single pre-assembled unit that opens like a concertina from its wheeled bag. The frame locks into position, the backlit graphic is already fitted in the channels, the countertop is already attached, and the LEDs illuminate the moment you connect the plug. There are no loose parts to manage, no sections to identify, no push-fit connections to make and no tools to find. For an exhibitor arriving at a venue with a tight build window, a promotional team deploying at three shopping centres in a single week, or an events company setting up registration desks between conference sessions, that speed is the entire point.

The 85mm profile is deliberately slimmer than the standard 120mm lightbox counter. The reduced depth creates a sleeker, more contemporary counter silhouette that takes up less floor space on the stand and looks less bulky in smaller retail environments. The trade-off is straightforward: the 85mm profile houses fewer LED strips than the 120mm, so the illumination is optimised for the shallower depth rather than matching the brightness of the deeper frame. For most exhibition and retail environments the difference is not visible to the customer approaching the stand. What is visible is the speed at which the counter appears and the clean, slim profile it presents once standing.

The black countertop supports up to 25kg evenly distributed. That is enough for a laptop, a tablet, brochures, product samples and a card reader at the same time. The surface is practical and non-reflective, suited to screen-based demonstrations and product displays where glare would be a problem. The black finish hides the scuffs and marks that accumulate across a multi-day event where the counter is used continuously from morning to close. At 1000mm wide the countertop gives a full metre of working space, the same width as the standard and RGB counter models. The working experience at the counter is identical to the more expensive models. Only the setup time and profile depth differ.

Custom backlit printing is included in the price. Place your order, receive a personalised artwork template within 24 hours, complete your design and send it back. The fire retardant graphic arrives pre-fitted to the foldable frame so the counter is ready to unfold and illuminate out of the bag with no graphic installation required on site. When your branding changes, order a replacement graphic for the same frame. The hardware lasts for years. At 13.5kg the counter packs into a wheeled bag that one person handles from vehicle to venue. The transformers are integrated inside the frame: no external power pack, no cable mess, no tripping hazard. Indoor use.
