SEG stands for Silicone Edge Graphics, a tensioning system where a silicone strip sewn to the edge of a fabric graphic is pushed into a channel in an aluminium extrusion frame. The result is a seamless, frameless fabric display that is held taut without visible borders, clips, or fittings. The aluminium frame sits behind the graphic rather than in front of it. Combined with LED backlighting behind the fabric panel, the graphic glows evenly from within rather than reflecting ambient light. Full colour digital print on the fabric means the brand's artwork, photography, or colour blocking is lit from behind and visible with a richness and intensity that a plain non-lit banner cannot match. The range covers sizes from a 1 by 1.5 metre compact display to a 6 by 2.4 metre exhibition wall. From 1 unit.
The SEG frame is reusable across campaigns. When a brand refresh, a new campaign, or a seasonal graphic is needed, only the fabric graphic panel requires replacement. The aluminium frame travels to the next event unchanged.
The backlit surface reads well in exhibition hall lighting conditions where typical pull-up banners often struggle. The LED illumination makes the display self-lit rather than dependent on ambient light levels.
Product Knowledge
What is a SEG lightbox and how does it differ from a standard banner display?
A SEG lightbox uses a fabric graphic panel rather than a rigid or rolled banner material. The fabric is printed in full colour and tensioned into an aluminium frame using a silicone edge strip that presses into a channel in the frame extrusion. The result is a seamless, taut graphic surface with no visible frame in front of the image. The LED strips inside the frame backlight the fabric from behind, creating an evenly illuminated display that is self-lit rather than relying on external spotlighting. A standard pull-up or tension banner reflects ambient light from the front face. A SEG lightbox generates its own light, which makes it significantly more impactful in low or variable lighting environments.
What sizes are available in the SEG lightbox range?
The range currently includes sizes from 1 by 1.5 metres at the compact end through to 6 by 2.4 metres at the large-scale end. Intermediate sizes of 1 by 2 metres, 1 by 2.4 metres, and 3 by 2.4 metres cover mid-range trade show and exhibition requirements. A 1 by 1.5 metre display suits a small trade show stand, a retail counter backdrop, or a meeting room feature. A 3 by 2.4 metre display suits a substantial exhibition stand back wall. A 6 by 2.4 metre display is a full exhibition wall or retail shopfront presence.
Can the fabric graphic panel be replaced when the design changes?
Yes, the aluminium SEG frame is a reusable structure. When the brand artwork, campaign message, or seasonal design changes, only the fabric graphic panel needs to be replaced. A new fabric panel is printed, the silicone edge is fitted, and the panel is pressed back into the existing frame. This makes the SEG lightbox a long-term display infrastructure investment rather than a single-campaign item. For a business that attends multiple events per year or updates its campaign seasonally, the frame pays for itself across successive graphic panel replacements.
Is the LED lighting included with the lightbox display?
Yes, the LED strip lighting is integrated into the aluminium frame structure and included with the display. The LEDs backlight the fabric graphic panel and are designed for consistent, even illumination across the entire display surface. Power is supplied via a standard power cable. The power requirements and cable configuration for each specific size are confirmed on the individual product pages.
