For manufacturers, exporters and importers
Pricing and performance comparisons are based on JIALI’s product information. Confirm comparable purchasing terms and verify strength and hardness with samples and agreed tests.
ONE MATERIAL / TWO PROCUREMENT PATHS
Two sourcing needs. One material focus.
Evaluate the material against your frame design and commercial terms, for existing production or an export project.
Export projects: evaluate a new material route
Where aluminium anti-dumping measures affect sourcing, explore coil-bent magnesium alloy against your destination, supplied product form and import requirements.
Explore export sourcing ↗01 / THE PRODUCT
One core material.
A dedicated SEG focus.
Our focus is magnesium alloy SEG lightbox profiles. The 100, 75 and 57.5 mm sections are variations of this single material. Review channels, corners and assembled frames against your production needs.

Make room in your purchasing budget
Indicative profile pricing is about half the aluminium reference. Compare your section, required metres and delivery terms to see how the material cost affects your project quotation.
Evaluate cost and structural performance
JIALI reports higher strength and hardness, with better resistance to damage. Compare samples through cutting, corner joining, assembly and handling to assess the material in your finished frame.
Add a material option for export sourcing
When aluminium profiles face anti-dumping measures, assess an alternative starting material and forming process. Review destination rules, composition and the supplied product form for your specific import plan.

CUSTOMIZATION / WHOLESALE / EXPORT
Your colour.
Your brand. Your supply plan.
For lightbox manufacturers, importers and distributors: align colour, branded packaging, volume pricing and container shipments in one sourcing brief.
Custom colours available
Discuss finishes for your project or brand. Share a target colour code or physical sample to confirm appearance, samples and volume supply terms.
Custom branded packaging
Packaging can be customized for your brand. Align your logo, artwork, labels and transit protection with channel sales and project delivery needs.
Volume orders. Better pricing.
Discounts are available for wholesale volume orders. Request a quote based on section, metres, colour, packaging and delivery schedule, for a bulk shipment or recurring supply.
Container sourcing & policy review
Discuss container loading, trade terms and potential tax-policy eligibility. Review applicable policies against actual material, tariff classification, origin and destination when evaluating landed cost.
Confirm colours, branded packaging, minimum quantities and discounts through approved samples and a formal quote. Any tax relief or policy support requires eligibility verification; container shipping alone does not establish eligibility.
02 / THE PROCESS
It starts with coil.
It takes shape by bending.
This product starts as magnesium alloy coil. Mechanical bending forms the required cross-section. Both the starting material and forming process differ from die-extruded aluminium profiles.
