Frames
Seg Frame
SEG Frame is the aluminium profile used to tension silicone edge fabric graphics in wall-mounted, freestanding, and suspended displays. On retail fit-outs and expo builds, it gives a neat fabric face that can be removed and replaced without remaking the frame. Both illuminated and non-illuminated applications use the same basic system, with profile depth chosen around size, lighting, and how the unit will be fixed.
SEG profiles for retail displays
SEG Frame refers to the aluminium fabric frame used for silicone edge graphics in LED and non-illuminated displays. It gives retail and expo projects a taut fabric finish with graphics that can be changed without rebuilding the unit.
Frame depth, visible size, fixing method, and graphic orientation need to be decided before production starts. A narrow change in profile can affect how the fabric sits, how LEDs are housed, and whether the unit suits a mall passage, shop wall, or expo shell scheme. Johannesburg dust, Durban humidity, and power planning on illuminated work all influence the final build.
Site photos help identify corners, bulkheads, glass shopfronts, and existing sign points before the frame is made. In many stores, the important check is not only the graphic size but also access for assembly and whether the frame must arrive in sections. That record is useful later when a graphic is reprinted or the display is moved to another branch.
What matters on a SEG build
The useful output is a frame specification that matches the actual display position and the graphic change requirements. Some projects need a slim non-lit perimeter frame for seasonal campaigns, while others need deeper LED lightbox construction with internal access and cable planning. For expo work, transport size and repeat assembly often matter as much as the finished face.
Before sign-off, compare the profile type, corner finish, graphic dimensions, and fixing detail against the intended site. If the job ties into other display elements, check the frame against the relevant product pages and then send the final project information through the contact form. Knowing whether it goes on a wall, shopfront, or hanging point helps when matching the right SEG frame configuration.

- Wall and corner checks noted early

Site conditions affecting frame choice
Retail centres, airport freight timing, and expo venue access can all affect how SEG frames are packed and delivered. Large units may need split sections for lifts, service passages, or restricted loading bays. Where existing lightboxes or fabric frames are on site, measurements should confirm whether new graphics, replacement profiles, or a full new frame set is required.
Coastal air can influence cleaning cycles and hardware checks, especially on illuminated units with opening sections. Inland installations often deal with dust settling in profiles, fabric edges, and LED cavities, which changes maintenance planning over time. In shopping malls, trading hours and access windows also affect when fitting teams can assemble, wire, and tension the graphic properly.

Details to send for SEG Frame
Include the required frame size, whether the unit is lit or non-lit, and where it will be mounted. Photos of the location, ceiling height, wall finish, or existing frame help clarify what profile and fixing method will suit the display.
If the frame is for a hanging sign or suspended expo element, note the support points and any venue limitations. For replacement graphics, include the existing visible size and, if possible, a photo of the silicone edge detail so the new fabric is made to the correct specification.
