What are Silicone Edge Graphics (SEG)?

You may have noticed something new at trade shows. Fabric graphics are frequently being used. Better know as Silicone Edge Graphics (SEG), this format has many benefits?

SEG systems are quickly becoming the industry norm for advertising. The lightweight and portable systems are fully customizable provide a modern look for a wide variety of uses. DPI Direct provides custom solutions as well as traditional trade show graphics.

With SEG a silicone strip is sewn directly to the edge of the graphic, and the strip is then inserted into a frame with a recessed groove. The size of the graphic must be precise so the fabric is taut when installed in the frame. The result is a large format graphic that mimics the old fashioned hard panel graphics commonly found on custom displays and interior spaces.
