Custom EDGE Graphics Signs for your Storefronts in NJ

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.

About Our Custom SEG Signs in New Jersey

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:

Size - The dimensions and thickness of the sign can be customized based on the location and graphics that will be displayed. The frame has to be exactly the right size for the fabric to create the needed tension for display.
Shape - SEG frames are most often rectangular, but can be fabricated into nearly any shape.
Finishing - The aluminum can be finished to imitate wood, stone, or other metals like silver and brass. The frame can also be left as aluminum with a polished or brushed finish.
Lighting - Edge graphics can be side lit or back lit by installing rows of LED lights into the frame. This draws attention to the sign and makes it usable in low light conditions.

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.

Benefits of SEG Graphics

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:

Professional - The frameless appearance of SEG graphics removes any factors that might clutter the sign or detract from the imagery.
Transportable - The frame is lightweight, making it easy to move and carry. The fabric with the graphics can be folded up during transport, and unfolded to place in the frame upon arrival at an event.
Wide Viewing Range - SEG have no glare so they can be seen clearly from any side and beneath strong overhead lights.
Reusable - Once you have the frame, you can order updated graphics whenever needed that can be replaced into the same frame.

The customizability of these signs also makes it possible to fabricate one that fits into a particular space and is reasonable for many budgets.

Where EDGE Signs Are Used

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:

Trade Shows
Expos
Offices
Retail Stores
Shopping Malls

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.
