What is the benefit of an SEG frame?

The top 8 benefits of SEG frames are: Seamless Art Minimal Wall Prep Easy Installation Cost-Saving Lightweight Frames No Glare Reusable Environmentally Stable

What types of SEG frames are there? Do they have to be mounted on a wall?

With 92 extrusions available, our SEG frames come in all shapes and sizes. They can be single or double sided, customized to any 2D or 3D shape, and scaled to any size. SEG frames don’t have to be wall-mounted, they can also be freestanding or suspended– meaning you can integrate SEG frames into any space!

What kind of accessories can I add to an SEG frame?

Our frames can be enhanced with a variety of 3D lettering and merchandising accessories. We offer 12+ solutions for 3D lettering and logos, both lit and non-lit. With modern technology, your letters can be made from aluminum, plastic, wood, and LEDs. Our merchandiser display accessories include product glorifiers, floating shelving, and slat walls. We also offer a variety of accessories for freestanding frames with the option of mounts, stock feet, shaped feet, rolling feet, and baseplates.

What should I consider when purchasing a lightbox?

There are 4 major variables to consider when buying a lightbox: Size– the size of the lightbox will determine which lighting solutions will work best with the frame. Ex: a larger lightbox means more distance that the light must travel. Brightness– the brightness of the environment will determine if the lightbox should be half-lit or full-lit. Adjusting the brightness of a lightbox can enhance the aesthetic of your space. Single or Double Sided– the location of the lightbox will determine if it needs to be double or single sided. Ex: if you want a bright window display, a double-sided full-lit lightbox will probably be the best solution to enhance both in-store and curb appeal Cost– the cost of the lightbox will be determined by the size, lighting solution, accessories, and more. Considering these additions, with their cost in mind, will help determine what solution is best for you!

What is SEG Systems’ process?

First, we’ll talk through what you’re looking for and design the perfect solution for your brand. Our estimating team will price out the design and send it over to the engineering team- they will ensure that your project is ready for production. Then, you’ll be paired with one of our dedicated project managers that will oversee your project through every step of its journey. In the shop, we’ll cut and clean the frames, add lighting, and insert graphics. All frames are tested in-house by our quality control team, guaranteeing that your project is exactly as designed. After that, the final product will be packaged in custom boxes or crates and then shipped out. Last step is installation- most of our frames can be assembled at an associate level, but we also offer professional installation for more complex projects!

Do you offer installation services?

Yes, we do! All of our frames come with user-friendly instructions on assembly and installation, we can arrange for an SEG team member to come on-location and supervise your install, from beginning to end. We can also provide assembly and installation videos upon request! Fees may apply for this service. Check out our standard assembly guides here!

What is dye-sublimation printing, and what are the benefits of dye-sublimated prints?

SEG Systems utilizes dye-sublimated prints for all of our graphics. Dye sublimation printing is a printing technique where inks react to heat and transform into a gas. This gas penetrates into the fabric creating a print where the ink is directly embedded. The result is a sturdy, high-quality print that has an incredibly high range of color and detail. 1. The brilliant (and long lasting) colors. The chemical bonding of ink with fabric ensures your graphics will withstand the test of time. 2. Their glare-free look. Compared to duratrans and digital screens, you can be sure your signage is seen from every angle with a glare-free SEG print. 3. Versatile uses in an aluminum framing system. Square? Triangle? Circle? The possibilities with SEG framing systems are endless. 4. Seamless printing. Whether you want a ten inch or a ten foot wide print, there’s a seamless solution for that. 5. Cost-effectiveness. Dye-sublimated SEG prints can be rolled, shipped, and stored with ease so that you can re-use and save prints for any season. 6. Durability. Because dye-sublimating printing allows the color to permeate the fabric, as opposed to settling on top, the graphic doesn’t have the same risks of scratching or fading that other print methods do.

Can SEG Systems’ rollout my retail project across more than one of my locations?

Absolutely! Whether it’s one store or 100, our team at SEG Systems’ has the infrastructure and skillset to rollout your design across all of your locations seamlessly. No matter the size of your project, our team is dedicated to ensuring that we provide a turnkey and stress-free experience from concept to creation and shipment. We collaborate with our clients to understand their needs and design a solution that fits exactly what they need.

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes a SEG display “quick ship”?

Our quick ship options are made to ship fast thanks to our stocked aluminum frame profiles, pre-qualified lighting options, and established fabrication workflows. As soon as specifications and artwork are finalized, we get right to work. Production speed is tied to manufacturing readiness rather than the size of the order. Our approach stands apart from overseas sourcing where transit time and port delays introduce uncertainty even with fast-tracked production.

How fast can quick ship SEG lightboxes and frames be produced?

Turnaround times can vary from a few days to several weeks, depending on whether the project falls under standard, semi-custom, or custom categories. In general, non-lit frames can be finished faster than illuminated lightboxes due to the integration of lighting and testing requirements.

Do quick ship SEG displays limit customization options?

Some features add more to the timeline, such as custom colors, non-rectangular shapes, or integrated features. Semi-custom options can be a good middle ground if you need speed and visual differentiation for your project with short production timelines.

How does artwork and proof approval affect quick ship retail display timelines?

Our graphic production for time-sensitive retail display solutions starts only after the final approval of artwork, meaning the faster you respond, the faster we can ship your displays. Revisions or late-breaking changes also can extend SEG display production timeeven when the frames are produced quickly, so it’s important to make sure your marketing, design, and production teams are all aligned on your end.

Are quick ship SEG displays reliable for multi-location rollouts?

Our American-made retail displays are used for phased or national rollouts because they provide consistency and repeatability as well as speed. Standardized components and documented specifications support repeat orders without re-engineering, giving you predictability that can be just as important to your project as speed.
