SEGDesing Installation

Fabric signage is seeing major growth in the sign and printing industry. More and more customers are asking for fabric signage. However, sewing can be a large hurdle when trying to finish fabric banners.  We have created Banner Ups KederTape, a perfect no-sew solution!

KederTape will allow you to reach new profitable markets without the hassle of a sewing machine. Simply print your fabric, cut and stick KederTape along the edges. Then tuck the fabric banner into the metal banner frame.

Here is an in-depth guide for installing a Silicon Edge Graphic (SEG) Sign without sewing:

Step 1: Assemble then measure the SEG Frame size.

Step 2: Ad a 3/8”-1/2” bleed on art area. Print your graphic with bleed. Cut your image from the fabric.

Step 3: On the back align the inner edge of KederTape with the outer edge of the image area. Lightly press KederTape onto fabric

Step 4: Test fit the graphic into the frame. In needed peel back and reposition KederTape to achieve the desired level of tension. Firmly press KederTape onto fabric and cut off any excess fabric. Also, cut the corners at 45-degree angles.

Step 5: Tuck the fabric graphic in the SEG Frame. You can use a nail file or scissors to help tuck the Keder into the frame.

Why You Should Install Silicone Edge Graphic Signs

1. Simple To Swap Out

Replacing fabric signage on the framing system is an effortless task that requires minimal effort or expertise. The fabric features a sewn silicone gasket that encircles the graphic and can be easily inserted into a channel groove along the frame’s edge. There is no danger of harming the fabric while installing it in the frame. If you plan to switch graphics frequently, you should consider using SEG with Banner Ups KederTape.

2. Polished Look

In business or retail settings, creating a strong brand image is vital for making a lasting impression on customers. To achieve a fashionable and frameless appearance that catches the eye, many businesses turn to SEG. These systems feature a printed fabric that is stretched over the frame and secured with a silicone beading. This creates a smooth, edgeless surface that doesn’t distract from the graphics, unlike traditional framing systems with glossy polycarbonate face sheets.

3. Easy To Customize

Fabric signs offer a solution since they can be customized to fit your exact size requirements. These systems are versatile and can be single or double-sided, LED-backlit, wall-mounted, ceiling suspended, or free-standing. The aluminum framing systems can be powder-coated to match any custom color finish, as opposed to the standard silver and black. This results in signage displays that can adapt to any retail environment and effectively showcase the desired signage.

4. Saves You Money

Compared to traditional media, the fabric is lightweight and durable, making SEG more convenient for larger signage applications. Fabric offers an advantage over traditional rigid prints and vinyl, as it is easier to handle during installation. Fabric can be folded, resulting in more economical shipping and storage for larger sizes (36″ x 48″ and up). This not only lowers shipping costs but also reduces the risk of damage during handling.

Where They Can Be Installed

Wall-Mounted Graphics

SEG frames are widely used in various settings for purposes such as window merchandising displays, and graphics on perimeter walls. These frames are particularly favored for creating large-scale wall murals that cover extensive areas. They can easily be mounted using KederTape.

Free-Standing Displays

SEG frames are frequently utilized as visually appealing free-standing displays, either single- or double-sided. These displays can range from small tabletop graphics to larger floor stands, often utilized for displays or trade show exhibits. SEG displays are preferred over other signage solutions because they’re easily approachable on the floor and simple to move from one event to another.

Ceiling-Mounted Graphics

In various event settings, sports arenas, and other busy public areas, it’s common to see SEG framing systems used for suspended and ceiling-mounted displays. The popularity of SEG fabric signs for these spaces comes from the graphics’ lightweight, durable, and easy-to-install characteristics. SEG frames are compatible with diverse hanging systems, making them mountable in almost any location. The frames can be either single-sided or double-sided, allowing the graphics to be viewed from all angles.
