Frequently Asked Questions

What is an SEG display? +

SEG stands for silicone-edge graphic. It refers to a display system where a printed fabric graphic has a thin silicone strip sewn around its perimeter. That strip slides into a channel on an aluminum frame, pulling the fabric taut and creating a perfectly smooth, frameless visual surface. The result is a clean, professional look that works equally well for backlit and non-backlit applications.

Are SEG displays suitable for trade shows and exhibitions? +

SEG displays are purpose-built for trade show and exhibition environments. The aluminum frame is lightweight and reusable, and the fabric graphic can be swapped out between events without replacing the structure. This makes them a practical, cost-efficient choice for exhibitors who attend multiple shows per year and need consistent, high-impact branding at every venue.

Can I use an SEG display with LED backlighting? +

Yes. The SEG Backlit range at Backdropsource is specifically designed for LED illumination. The fabric graphic is printed on a light-diffusing material that distributes the LED light evenly across the entire surface, eliminating hot spots. Backlit SEG displays are particularly effective in retail environments, showrooms, and trade show booths where you need your graphics to stand out in competitive, high-traffic settings.

What material are the SEG fabric graphics printed on? +

All SEG fabric graphics at Backdropsource are printed on sustainable, PVC-free fabric. The material is designed to hold color accurately under both ambient and backlit conditions, resists wrinkling during transport, and maintains its tension within the frame across repeated installations. Choosing PVC-free fabric also supports sustainability goals for organizations that have environmental commitments tied to their event and marketing procurement.

How do I set up an SEG display? +

Setup is straightforward and does not require additional tools. The aluminum frame sections connect and lock together, and the fabric graphic is inserted by pressing the silicone edge strip into the frame channel around the perimeter. Most single-panel displays can be assembled by one person in under fifteen minutes. Larger modular configurations may require two people but follow the same basic process.

Can I replace the graphic without buying a new frame? +

Yes, and this is one of the key advantages of the SEG system. The aluminum frame is a long-term reusable asset. When you need to update your creative for a new campaign, product launch, or event, you simply order a replacement fabric graphic. The new graphic installs into the existing frame the same way the original did, which significantly reduces the cost of refreshing your display over time

What is the lead time for SEG display orders? +

Lead times vary depending on the specific product, order volume, and whether artwork is submitted print-ready or requires preparation. For accurate turnaround estimates on your order, reach out directly to the Backdropsource team at sales@backdropsource.com or call +1 (650) 614-1888. Providing complete, print-ready artwork at the time of ordering is the most reliable way to keep your production and shipping timeline on track.

How should I store an SEG display when it is not in use? +

Most SEG display frames break down into compact sections that pack into a carry bag or transit case. The fabric graphic should be folded or rolled carefully to avoid creasing the silicone edge strip. Storing the graphic flat or loosely rolled in a cool, dry location will help preserve print quality and fabric tension for future use. Proper storage extends the working life of both the frame and the graphic significantly.
