What is Silicone Edge Graphics (SEG)?

Silicone Edge Graphics is comprised of a dye sublimated fabric finished with a silicone edge strip sewn onto the edge of the fabric. The silicone edge is then inserted into the recessed groove of an extruded aluminum frame. The result is a modern and striking graphic that is stretched edge-to-edge across the frame lending a frameless appearance.

SEG frames are popular for backdrops in retail stores, trade show graphics, fine art displays, and more. Besides the dye sublimation fabric, the frame is what makes it all come together. Our frames are lightweight and durable, easy to assemble and transport, and built to last.

Benefits of SEG Frames:

Easy install

The fabric is so easy to install and change out as often as needed by anyone at an associate level. To install, fold fabric over silicone edge, and starting with the corners insert fabric into the groove of the aluminum frame. After the corners are inserted, press in the center of each side, then smooth outwards until the fabric is good and tight.

To remove, simply pull on the sewn-in tab on the corner and pull out the fabric.

Cost effective

Both the frame and the fabric are economical. The frame will last indefinitely, so there's just one upfront cost for a product sure to see a lot of use. The fabric is washable and can be reused many times, and it is also inexpensive to print new graphics.
