How Big Can We Go With SEG Graphics?
It’s not how big can we go with SEG graphics, it’s how big do we want to go? We can produce seamless images 10ft by 20, 30, 40…ft wide. If 10ft by infinity isn’t large enough we can connect panels together or create a grid as large as you can imagine. The options are endless and there are so many things that can be done depending on the message you’re trying to convey, your location, and your budget. A home decor example using oversized wall art prints is here.
The size of the graphic you choose depends entirely on your location, budget, and message. Sometimes a giant banner isn’t necessary to get the point across; other times it is. A simple design with a modern edge is all it takes to get the attention of your audience.
When it comes to SEG graphics, there is no such thing as going “too big”.” We have a dedicated team of experts to help walk you through your idea so don’t be turned away if you feel like your vision is too large. Chances are, we can find a way to make it happen.
What are SEG Graphics?
SEG stands for silicone edge graphics. These images are printed on a special fabric that uses high-resolution-dye sublimated printing. The material then gets a thin silicone strip sewn onto it so you can stretch it around the perimeter of the aluminum framing system to create an endless appearance. The graphic looks like it’s running right off the frame.
The end result is a bold image that gets attention. That’s exactly what you’re looking for and what you should expect today. You need something that will stand out amongst the crowd and keep pace with a growing modern aesthetic. Consumers are more conscious of decor in shopping environments and expect a clean modern experience. SEG frames and fabric have an elevated sophisticated quality and over traditional framed solution. If you’re not using cutting-edge, eye-catching modern marketing strategies, you’re not creating spaces shoppers want to be.
What is SEG Fabric?
SEG fabric is the material that these graphics are printed on. It’s important that the fabric is the right size and material because it’ll get stretched to the absolute perfect tautness so the image created is smooth and seemingly endless. If the fabric is too loose, there will be creases on the graphic which won’t look as professional. If the fabric is too tight, you won’t be able to stretch it to the ends of the frame.
The silicone strip that is sewn around the edges is important as well. This strip will get inserted into the recessed groove around the perimeter of the frame. Once you’ve done that, if the fabric isn’t the right size you’ll notice the imperfections right away.
What are the Benefits of Choosing SEG Panel Displays?
Why would you choose this type of graphic over something else? While it might sound more complicated with a high margin for error, you’d be surprised how easy they are to install and how you can even do it yourself on small displays. When it comes to the large displays like we’re talking about here, you may be better off hiring us to install it for you.
Here are some of the major advantages of going with SEG panels:
- Lightweight – The aluminum framing is edgeless and there uses minimal material. The frames are able to be broken down into pieces and compactly stored or shipped. Then the fabric print can convey your entire message with one piece of fabric that ships folded, that’s all it takes.
- Versatile – One of the best things about SEG graphics is that there are very few limitations. When you’re shopping around for other retail signage and market graphics, there are always pre-determined requirements such as size, shape, and colors. You have complete creative control over the design and there are many different options to choose based on your needs. We can customize however you like and display it to almost any space.
- Less Labor – Installation is difficult but seamless graphics make for a seamless installation. One of the reasons why people prefer these is because they’re easier to switch out if you’re promoting short-term sales or seasonal promotions. Once it’s time to switch out the material you pull the tab, peel it out of the frame, and insert the next one. You can then save the artwork to reuse another time.
The graphic lightbox also eliminates the need for additional electrical work around the signage. A lot of banners would require you to shine a spotlight on them for prospective customers to see. With a graphic lightbox illuminating the image from the back, there’s no need for additional lighting.
- Less Frame – There are no limitations with SEG graphics and this applies to the frame as well. Even around 90 degree corners, we can ensure that your image is fully visible to everyone and that it flows continuously and naturally. Because of the unique design, it provides the appearance of the image falling right off the edge of the frame. Not only is this professional looking but it’s eye-catching. If you pair that with bright and vibrant graphics, you’re sure to get the response you want from your efforts.
- Takes Up Less Space – When you’ve removed an SEG graphic, you can roll it up or fold it and put it into boxes. This saves a lot of space and money on shipping as well. If you’re switching out your lightboxes a few times a year and you have more than one of them, things can start to get cramped. If you had to store that many traditional rigid signs, it would take up a lot of space.
- No Glare – One of the biggest issues a lot of people deal with when it comes to retail signage is a glare. Anything with a glossy texture that may look nice in the perfect lighting but as soon as the sun shines the wrong way, it’ll be impossible to see from most angles. Fabric is great for this because it doesn’t create a gloss and the vibrancy of the colors helps ensure it’s highly visible from all angles.
SEG Graphics Cost
Due to the variety of sizes available and the variation of applications such as wall mounted, freestanding, or ceiling suspended pricing varies. We don’t offer standard sizes and therefore don’t have a standard price. All projects are custom made to order, please contact us for a custom quote. Or we can assist with finding a size that fits your budget.
Why Use Large SEG Graphics?
Many of us don’t realize it but, everywhere we go there are constant advertisements. Why don’t we see and acknowledge every single one of them? The first reason could be because we’re simply numb to it. We’re so used to the information and the quantity of it that we neglect to even see it most of the time.
Everyone is competing for the same space, the same set of eyeballs, and your attention. Choosing the right retail signage can make a big difference in your business. This is where SEG graphics come in. They’re modern, seamless, clean, and bold. They’re exactly what it takes in today’s fast-paced society to get attention.
If you’re having a hard time putting your vision together into something that seems realistic, no need to worry. Here are a few examples of some “larger than life” SEG graphics:
Custom Shape SEG Light Box
To utilize all available space in a tight airport duty-free shop we created a custom curved SEG light box. The graphic was installed to wrap around the column. This unique shape ensures that everyone can clearly see the image no matter what angle you’re looking at it from. Best of all, the backlit nature of the image helps separate it from other signage. Not only is this a great option for promotion in your own retail store but it’s a great choice for brands looking to advertise themselves within other stores and retail venues.
Stories High Soft Signage
In this example, you’ll see a 60 x 144 inch tall box advertising an outdoor brand. These are nearly two stories high and they’re backlit so they stand out compared to everything else in the store. The reason retailers choose soft signage is because it’s easy for them to assemble and update themselves. Switching the imagery is simple and you can store these large-scale graphics without having to take up a ton of space.
The image is clean and due to the tensile nature of the material, giving it a more realistic and professional look.
Why Hire an SEG Installer?
What type of business should hire a professional to install the graphics? The reality is, any business can benefit from SEG because they’re great at getting attention and leading people to take the action but if installed poorly can have the opposite effect.
By hiring an installer we will take care of everything for you. No matter how big or small the job, we have a network of installers a to make it work. Reach out because we’d love to hear more about your project.
That said, it doesn’t mean that our SEG fabrics and frames are difficult to install, because you can install them yourself. The frames are color coded, so simlpy match the colors at the corners to build the frame, then press the fabric graphic into the frame channel. Sometimes for larger sizes or in difficult hang spaces, it’s better to leave it to the professionals.

We offer a wide range of products and services to appeal to businesses of all types that want to promote something in a way that is different from the rest.
