Custom Lightboxes
& Sign Installation
in Montreal.

Max Printing's standard turnaround time is five business days from design approval to completed installation. Because we fabricate all lightboxes, window graphics, and banners entirely in-house at our Montreal facility, we are not dependent on third-party printers or external fabricators. Once you approve the final artwork proof, our production team begins immediately, and our installation crew books your on-site appointment within that five-day window.

Yes. Max Printing specializes in high-elevation commercial sign installations and owns a fully equipped in-house bucket truck for this purpose. We do not subcontract our installations to third parties. Our dedicated installation team safely executes complex, high-reach fascia sign mounting, double-sided projecting sign installations, and large-format storefront signage jobs across Greater Montreal — at any height that a standard ladder cannot safely service.

Yes, Max Printing installs commercial signs year-round, including during Montreal's harshest winter conditions. We have successfully completed large-scale coroplast and aluminum lightbox installations at temperatures of -25°C and below. Our bucket truck, safety equipment, and installation procedures are designed for tough-weather Quebec conditions that standard online printers and many local shops simply will not operate in. If your business needs a sign installed in February, we will be there.

Yes. Almost every exterior commercial sign installation in Montreal and its surrounding municipalities requires a Certificat d'autorisation (zoning permit) from your local borough (arrondissement) before work can legally begin. Requirements vary significantly between boroughs — Plateau-Mont-Royal, for example, has stricter rules regarding illumination and square footage than Saint-Laurent or LaSalle. Max Printing designs every sign to comply with your specific borough's by-laws and provides the technical drawings and engineering specifications you need to submit your permit application successfully.

OQLF compliance means that your outdoor commercial sign meets the language requirements set by the Office québécois de la langue française under Quebec's Charter of the French Language. The key rule is "Markedly Predominant" — French text on your exterior signage must be visually dominant over any other language, typically at least twice the size. Under Bill 96, businesses that use a non-French trademark must now include a generic French descriptor (like "restaurant," "boutique," or "services") alongside it. Max Printing ensures every sign we produce is fully OQLF-compliant before it leaves our facility.

The cost of a custom LED lightbox sign in Montreal depends on the overall square footage, the materials specified, and the complexity of the installation. As a general reference, a single-sided fascia lightbox for a standard storefront typically starts in the $1,500–$3,500 range for fabrication alone, with installation costs varying based on mounting height and access requirements. Because Max Printing handles both fabrication and installation in-house, we eliminate the third-party markups that inflate costs at many sign companies.

Max Printing fabricates the following commercial sign types entirely in-house at our Montreal facility: single-sided fascia lightboxes, double-sided projecting sign boxes, push-through acrylic lightboxes, halo-lit 3D channel letters, perforated and solid window vinyl graphics, coroplast outdoor signs, heavy-duty trade show banners, and DTF (Direct-to-Film) printed apparel. If a traditional lightbox is not permitted in your borough's zoning, we also produce front-lit channel letters and backlit panel signs as compliant alternatives.

For Montreal storefronts that operate after dark, a custom LED lightbox is the most effective and durable commercial sign option. A lightbox uses internal high-efficiency LED modules to illuminate your graphic face evenly from behind, making your brand clearly visible from the street at any hour and in any weather condition. We build our lightboxes with commercial-grade aluminum extrusions and Lexan polycarbonate faces specifically chosen to withstand Quebec's extreme temperature swings — from -30°C in January to +35°C in July — without cracking, yellowing, or losing illumination quality.

Yes. Max Printing employs an in-house graphic designer, Nabil, who works directly with clients who don't have finished artwork or print-ready vector files. Unlike automated online printers that simply reject incorrect file formats or print whatever you submit, Nabil collaborates with you from the concept stage — building logos from scratch, adapting existing brand assets, and preparing technically correct files for any sign size. There are no extra fees or surprises: the design process is part of how we do business.

Yes. While our in-house bucket truck and installation team serve Greater Montreal exclusively, Max Printing ships print orders — including DTF apparel, banners, coroplast signs, and promotional items — anywhere in Canada, completely free of charge. There is no minimum order required for Canada-wide shipping. For businesses outside the Greater Montreal area that need printed materials without on-site installation, simply place your order and we will handle the rest.
