Most designers rarely design a layout larger than a corporate booklet or perhaps a 20″ x 30″ poster. Designing for large format, like trade show graphics, is actually quite simple once you know the basic steps. All it takes is a leap of faith… and trust in my advice.
You may have noticed something new at trade shows and events. Traditional fabric graphics are frequently being replaced by Silicone Edge Graphics (SEG). So what is SEG and what are the benefits?
What is SEG (Silicone Edge Graphics)?
Silicone Edge Graphic (SEG)
Silicone Edge Graphic (SEG)
SEG is a high-resolution dye-sublimated fabric graphic finished with a thin silicone strip (or welt/gasket). The silicone strip is sewn directly to the edge of the graphic, and the strip is then inserted into a frame with a recessed groove.
Everything you need to know about trade show graphics, from design to printing. Stand out with high-quality, eye-catching graphic design!
Explaining graphic file requirements to a client with limited graphic experience is like explaining the earth’s curvature to a flat earther.
Fabric graphics dominate as the primary graphic medium for trade shows. Largely for three reasons: (1) They’re lightweight, (2) Relatively indestructible, and (3) Are available in large formats up to 10 to 16 ft. wide.
