Which display fits
your project?
A pavement, an open square and a long advertising run put different demands on a display. Compare three formats by location, sightline and the way posters are changed.
Allow for pedestrian clearance and service access.
Assess the display face and its support separately.
Check the horizontal sightline and spacing between panels.
Parya Metal catalogue photos show different locations.
How the three display types differ
CLP/MUPI is an upright display for people on foot to see up close. Megalight raises the advert higher. A billboard holds a wide, horizontal poster.
| Comparison | CLP/MUPI | Megalight | Billboard |
|---|---|---|---|
| Where is it used? | On pavements and near bus stops. | In squares and large open spaces. | Where a wide, horizontal poster is needed. Boards can also sit side by side. |
| How will people see it? | Face the upright poster towards approaching pedestrians. | The poster is raised. Check whether trees or poles block the view. | The poster is horizontal. In a row of boards, check that each poster is visible on approach. |
| How is the poster changed? | The standard frame opens at the front. Leave room to work in front of it. | The poster is raised, so plan how the crew will reach it safely. | Ask how the poster is fitted and which side the crew works from on your chosen model. |
| What should the quote cover? | Poster size, single or double-sided display, glazing and poster change system. | Overall height, poster size, foundation and power requirements for lighting. | Poster size, rear panel material, glazing and the poster scrolling option. |
Advertising area and overall dimensions
Use the visible area when designing the artwork. Use the overall dimensions when planning placement and installation.
Megalight example
- Visible advertising area
- The part of the poster visible inside the frame. Refer to the model drawing for print size and edge allowances.
- Housing and support
- Plan the frame, support and foundation together. Include the clearance the service crew will need.
What changes by model?
Glass, rear panels and poster mechanisms can vary within a product range.
CLP/MUPI
Pedestrian clearance and service access
Check how much pavement remains clear with the frame open. The directions people approach from help determine the number of advertising faces.
- The Standard CLP/MUPI example has 5 mm tempered glass, a concealed lock and a gas-strut-assisted frame.
- A poster scroller is listed as an option for the Standard model.
Megalight
Height and support configuration
Mark trees, lighting poles and other sightline obstructions on the site photo. Decide how the service crew will reach the face for poster changes.
- Confirm the glazing and poster change system for the model you select.
- Assess the support type against the installation site and service access.
Billboard
Same advertising area, different construction
The Standard and Premium Billboard each list a 2,000 × 3,500 mm advertising area. Their construction affects servicing and poster changes.
- The Standard model has an 8 mm plywood back.
- The Premium model has 6 mm tempered glass and a metal rear panel. A scroller for up to five posters is optional.

Frequently asked questions
Are CLP and MUPI always different sizes?
Parya Metal uses both names for the same product range. Refer to the drawing for the selected model for visible area and overall dimensions.
Can a Megalight use a digital screen?
An outdoor LED screen is available as an option on some Megalight models. Specify the screen, connection, power and content-management needs in the quote request.
How do I choose between a fixed poster and a scroller?
Start with how often the campaign changes and how many posters the panel needs to display. Check the selected model’s mechanism capacity and service access.
How do I find the lowest-cost option?
Compare quotes with the same quantity, visible advertising area and equipment. Check separately whether foundations, delivery, installation and maintenance are included.
