The Anatomy of SEG: Understanding the Silicone Edge Graphics Framework
Have you caught wind of the display trend that's taking over events, retail, and trade show displays? It's all about silicone edge graphics (SEG) – they're turning heads with their tight, and bright images. We're talking super simple setups and a look that screams "clean and modern." Stick with us as we uncover the intricacies of SEG and dive into why it's the latest craze among everyone from giant brands to interior designers who are getting in on this display tech.
Understanding Silicone Edge Graphics
Imagine a fabric graphic with a thin silicone beading sewn around the perimeter, providing a wrinkle-free appearance and vibrant colors. SEG fabric graphics are lightweight and easy to install, making them a coveted choice for various applications.
The Role of Silicone Beading
This thin silicone strip plays a pivotal role in the overall tension of the SEG display. When sewn to the fabric, it then snugly fits into the SEG frame, allowing for easy installation and a smooth, high-quality finish.
Moreover, the charm of silicone edge graphic displays lies in the consistent tension they maintain. The silicone beading ensures that the display remains free from wrinkles, providing a sleek and visually appealing experience.
The Dye Sublimation Printing Process
One of the secrets behind the vibrant colors and high-definition image clarity of SEG graphics lies in the dye sublimation printing process. This process involves inks that react to heat, transform into gas, and penetrate the fabric, chemically bonding the print directly into the material. The result is:
Durable SEG graphics
Scratch-resistant SEG graphics
Fade-resistant SEG graphics
Washable SEG graphics
Not only does the dye sublimation process yield vibrant and durable prints, but they can be produced seamlessly up to 16' wide and are easy to roll, ship, and store. And if that’s not enough, the print can be backlit with LED lighting integrated into the frame for to enhance the display's dramatic appeal.
SEG Frames and Their Versatility
Whether it’s a single-sided profile for wall mounting, profiles for hanging, or profiles for double-sided graphics, SEG frames have got you covered. An added bonus? These frames can accommodate LED lighting for backlit signage or even be retrofitted into fixtures.
The adaptable aluminum framing of SEG can be tailored to any size and powder coated to align with brand colors, catering to the distinct needs of different retail settings. Here are some options for using SEG frames in different settings:
Wall-mounted SEG frames create a sleek display with mounting brackets.
Ceiling-suspended frames utilize eyebolts for a suspended display.
For trade show displays, events and reconfigurable retail layouts, freestanding SEG frames, equipped with stabilizing feet, offer a portable solution.
So, no matter the setting or the space, SEG frames can be adapted to fit the bill perfectly.
Applications of Silicone Edge Graphics
