A Guide to SEG Graphics and Their Installation

SEG (Silicone Edge Graphics) is a modern and sleek signage solution used in retail, trade shows, and various event environments. It involves a high-quality fabric graphic with a thin silicone strip (or "keder") sewn to its edges. This strip is inserted into a recessed groove in an aluminum frame, resulting in a taut, frameless appearance.

Why Choose SEG Graphics?

  • Sleek and Modern Look: The frameless design creates a premium, upscale look that is visually appealing.

  • Vibrant & High-Quality Prints: Dye-sublimation printing on fabric yields brilliant, photorealistic images.

  • Easy to Swap: Graphics can be changed out quickly and easily without tools, making it perfect for seasonal promotions.

  • Lightweight & Durable: The fabric and aluminum frame are lightweight, making them easy to transport and set up.

Step-by-Step Installation Guide

Installing an SEG graphic is a straightforward process that can be done by one person. Here’s how to do it:

1. Prepare the Frame and Graphic: Ensure your aluminum frame is assembled securely. Unfold your SEG fabric graphic and identify the silicone edge.

2. Insert the First Corner: Start by inserting the silicone edge of the fabric into one of the corners of the frame's channel. Press it in firmly with your thumb.

3. Insert the Opposite Corner: Move to the diagonally opposite corner and repeat the process. This will help center the graphic.

4. Insert the Remaining Corners: Insert the silicone edge into the remaining two corners.

5. Secure the Sides: Once all four corners are secured, work your way along each side, from the center outwards to the corners, pressing the remaining silicone into the channel. The fabric will become taut as you go.

The following image demonstrates how to press the silicone edge into the frame's channel.

6. Final Touches: Once all the edges are inserted, run your hand along the entire perimeter to ensure the silicone strip is fully seated in the channel. The graphic should be perfectly smooth and wrinkle-free.
