If you’re looking to unleash your creativity in the retail, tradeshow, or event space, custom shaped SEG fabric graphic frames and light boxes have almost unlimited potential.
Most people stick to basic rectangular shape SEG frames as they think this is what we stock. This is not the case, as we cut each frame to order. We also have no minimum quantities, so if you have an idea for a custom display or prototype don’t hold yourself back!
Here are 9 custom shape SEG fabric frame and light box options to get those creative juices flowing.
1. Circle
Circles are very versatile, symmetrical, and can convey a wide range of messages. A circle SEG frame or light box can be used to create a halo effect around product displays, backlit logos, or as part of a larger circular display.
2. Triangle
Triangles are another very versatile shape. They can be used to create eye-catching displays, direct traffic flow, or highlight a specific product or area. A triangle SEG frame or light box can also be used as in multiples as part of a larger display.
3. Rhombus
Parallelograms with equal sides. This shape often used to create interest and add angularity to a display. Rhombuses can be used alone or in multiples as part of a larger display.
4. Pentagon
Five-sided polygon. Can be used with angular or straight sides. With the point facing down, the shape looks like a pennant or banner. Facing upward it can look like a house.
What is SEG?
SEG stands for silicone edge graphics, which are fabric prints with silicone beading sewn around the perimeter. SEG Frames and Light Boxes are created from aluminum extrusions that have channels to accept the SEG fabric. LED lights bars are attached within the frame extrusions to illuminate the fabric creating a light box. The result is a nice, clean look with minimal amount frame hardware showing around the edge for a frameless appearance.
SEG frame extrusions are made in long linear lines, then cut down per frame size. They are typically cut and connected at 90º angles to create rectangular frame shapes. However any custom shape can be made by adjusting the angle of connection, or bending the extrusions.
5. Hexagon
Six-sided figures. They are often used in displays that require a lot of angularity or facets. The shape is often used in honeycomb or beehive structures.
6. Curves
Curves can be used to add a sense of motion or fluidity to a display as they create an organic feel. Curves can be convex or concave.
7. Trapezoid
Quadrilaterals with two sides that are parallel. Trapezoids can be used to add interest and variety to a display. They can also be used in multiples to create a honeycomb or beehive structure.
8. Cylinder
Three-dimensional figures with two parallel, circular bases. Cylinders can be used to create interest and add dimensionality to a display. This shape is ideal for wrapping columns.
9. Cube
Three-dimensional figures with six square faces. This shape is ideal for product displays, as they can be used to create shelves or box structures displayed stacked or in a grid.
