SEGs

Silicone Edged Graphics

SEG is an acronym for “Silicone Edge Graphics”. In short, this is a Fabric Graphic that is held into a frame by a silicone gasket. The graphic is mounted by inserting the gasket strip into a groove in the edge of the frame. The result is a large format graphic that is smooth and aesthetically attractive, while also being very easy to install without tools or special installation skills. Frames can range from elegant fabric wall hangings to freestanding walls and fully modular tradeshow booths.

Applications:

  • Stretch fabrics for ease of assembly and reduced SEG print costs
  • Blackout fabrics that are great at hiding items behind and eliminating light bleed-through
  • SEGs offer backlit fabrics for dramatic lighting effects

Why choose SEG for your displays?

  • Hi-Resolution Fabric Graphics: Dye-Sublimation printed graphics are extremely vibrant, while also being lighter than other forms of printed graphics, which makes installation easier and shipping less costly.
  • Versatility: SEG extrusions can be designed to create virtually limitless configurations. Options include: wall mount, free-standing, single and double faced, front lit or backlit and even multi-level structures.
  • No Visible Sewing: Sewn edges are hidden in the frames, providing seamless appearance.
  • Cost: Production of fabric graphics is competitive to other forms of digital printing, but the light weight and ease of installation can result in significant savings in shipping, drayage, and installation costs.

Important Considerations

Do you already have a frame?
We can produce graphics for existing frames or help you manufacture new ones. We partner with beMatrix, Aluvision, and have experience with other leading systems.

Do you have special lighting needs?
Let us know your transparency levels so we can help choose blackout fabric to prevent light bleed or backlit material for illuminated displays.

What frame depth are you using?
Depth affects fabric selection, tension, and lighting compatibility.

Single- or double-sided?
Double-sided graphics should consider proper finishing and light control.

Terms To Know

  • Gasket
    A soft silicone strip sewn around the edge of the fabric. It pushes into the frame to hold the graphic tight and smooth.

  • Extrusion
    The aluminum frame pieces that hold the graphic. They are strong, lightweight, and shaped to fit the silicone edge.

  • Frame Channel
    The groove in the frame where the silicone edge gets pressed in to keep the fabric tight.

  • Modular Frames
    Frame pieces that connect together in different ways to build walls, booths, or displays.

  • Panel Matching
    Making sure graphics line up perfectly across multiple frames so the image looks like one big picture.

  • F-Track / H-Track
    The most common types of frame channels for SEG graphics.

    • F-Track mounts directly to a wall.

    • H-Track fits into existing frames or structures.

Customization Options

  • Olyte Backlit Graphics
    Premium diffusion fabric engineered for vibrant, evenly illuminated lightbox displays.

  • Standard or Blockout Fabric
    Choose standard tension fabric or add a blockout layer to prevent light bleed.

  • Single- or Double-Sided Graphics
    Print on one or both sides of your frame system.

  • Frame Depth Compatibility
    Graphics finished to match your specific extrusion profile and depth.

  • Panel Matching & Large-Format Walls
    Seamless image alignment across multiple frames and oversized installations.
