What are custom display cubes?

Display cubes are freestanding square or rectangular units printed with logos, campaign artwork, product graphics or decorative patterns. They can be used individually as plinths and product risers, grouped into modular displays, stacked as branded towers or arranged as event props. Because every visible face can carry artwork, cubes deliver strong brand exposure from several viewing angles without requiring a permanent installation.

Where are printed display cubes used?

• Exhibitions and trade shows: create branded focal points beside an exhibition booth.
• Retail and mall activations: support product launches, seasonal promotions and visual merchandising.
• Events and photo zones: build logo towers, decorative props and shareable branded backdrops.
• Showrooms and receptions: display products, awards, brochures or campaign messages.
• Promotional campaigns: combine cubes with a promotional table or custom cutout standee.

Choosing the right display cube size

The correct size depends on the viewing distance, available floor space, item weight and whether the cubes will be stacked. A 30 × 30 cm cube works well for compact counters, shelves and small props. A 50 × 50 cm cube provides more visual impact for exhibitions and retail displays. Custom dimensions are recommended for product plinths, large logo towers, furniture-style seating props or installations designed around an exact venue plan.

When stacking several cubes, plan the complete height and footprint rather than selecting each size separately. Our team can check proportions and recommend stable combinations before production.

Forex board display cubes

Forex board is a lightweight rigid PVC material suitable for indoor exhibitions, retail displays and event branding. It produces clean edges, accepts sharp full-colour printing and is easier to transport than heavier structures. It is a practical choice for short- to medium-term campaigns.

Cardboard display cubes

Printed cardboard cubes are cost-effective, lightweight and useful for temporary promotions, store displays and high-volume campaigns. They are best kept indoors and away from moisture. Foldable constructions may also reduce storage and transport space.

MDF display cubes

MDF is stronger and heavier, making it suitable for reusable premium displays, product plinths and applications that require a stable structure. It can be painted, laminated or wrapped with printed graphics. Weight limits should be confirmed when products or people may be placed on top.

Acrylic display cubes

Acrylic offers a clean premium appearance for luxury retail, galleries, launches and showroom displays. Clear, coloured or printed acrylic can be selected depending on the design. Acrylic cubes normally cost more than Forex or cardboard but create a polished finish.

Reusable fabric-covered cubes

A reusable frame with a printed fabric cover is useful when campaign graphics change regularly. The cover can be replaced while the structure is retained, making this option suitable for recurring events and travelling exhibitions.

Printing options for branded cubes

UV direct printing produces crisp, durable graphics directly on rigid panels and is ideal for logos, solid colours and detailed artwork. Printed vinyl wrapping creates a smooth branded surface and can cover multiple faces with coordinated graphics. Latex printing is a low-odour option for indoor displays and delivers vibrant colour on suitable vinyl or fabric media.

For accurate brand reproduction, provide vector logos, specified brand colours and high-resolution images. PDF, AI or EPS files are preferred for logos and text. Images should normally be supplied at effective print resolution for the final output size. Artwork is checked before production.

How much do display cubes cost in Dubai?

Custom display cubes currently have an indicative starting price from AED 220. The final price depends on size, material, number of printed faces, print method, finishing, structural reinforcement and quantity. Cardboard is generally the most economical option for temporary campaigns, while MDF and acrylic are better suited to premium reusable displays. Multiple units may reduce the average production cost because artwork setup and machine preparation are shared across the order.

Production process

1. Brief and specification: confirm sizes, material, quantity, intended use and deadline.
2. Artwork setup: adapt the design to each cube face and check bleed, resolution and colour references.
3. Printing and cutting: print the graphics using the selected method and precision-cut each panel.
4. Assembly and finishing: align the faces, reinforce the structure where required and complete edges carefully.
5. Quality check and delivery: inspect colour, dimensions and construction before packing for Dubai or UAE delivery.

What affects turnaround time?

Production time varies according to material availability, artwork approval, construction method, finishing and quantity. A straightforward Forex or cardboard order can usually be planned faster than a reinforced MDF or custom acrylic structure. Share your event date at the quotation stage so the team can confirm a realistic production and delivery schedule.
