Silicone edge graphics (SEG) are a newer innovation in signage, yet are a standard at trade shows and expos, as well as for promotion in retail. They are appreciated for their clean look which hides stitching lines and shows no grommets, pockets, or other ways of keeping a sign supported. Instead the fabric the graphic is printed on fits precisely into a frame and is held with a silicone strip.
Blue Dot Signs creates the custom frames and graphics for SEG signs that stand out at events and in businesses. If you are looking for a sign to elevate your display, an EDGE graphic sign can provide a professional and attractive appearance.

As a type of fabric box, SEG graphics offers the option for large format graphics with vivid colors and clear lines, making them ideal for photo printing. Silicone edge graphics are made of a thick, wrinkle-free fabric that is stretched over a frame. A thin strip of silicone is sewn along the edge of the fabric, giving the banner its name. This silicone strip is pushed into grooves cut into the frame, resulting in an image that appears to float and stretches taut over the frame.

The frame is made of extruded aluminum. This material is lightweight and easily manipulated so that each frame can be custom built to match the needs of the completed sign. Customization options include:
For SEG graphics printing, the design is transferred to the fabric through “dye-sublimation.” Rather than laying the image over the fabric as with traditional printing, dye-sublimation uses heat transfer to make the graphic part of fabric itself. The result provides saturated colors with photographic accuracy. The colors will not rub off and are resistant to fading.
The fabric is detachable from the sign. This means your business can order multiple fabric graphics with silicone edges and switch them out of the frame as needed. The replacement graphic can be inserted into the frame within a matter of minutes and without tools.
The signs can be made either single or double sided. They can also be made to be mounted against a wall or free standing with a base to keep them upright.
Of the fabric sign options, SEG graphics offer the cleanest and sleekest look. They put the focus on the image, which is vibrantly printed through dye-sublimation. Companies choose SEG graphic signs because they are:
The customizability of these signs also makes it possible to fabricate one that fits into a particular space and is reasonable for many budgets.
The clean look of an SEG sign works well for displaying high definition graphics such as those used in model and product photography. It can also showcase artwork for a more decorative purpose. Places where SEG signs are commonly found include:
Because they can be permanently installed or set up when needed, these signs can be used at many locations, and moved between locations if necessary.
