Dirt or Stains

We always advise working in a clean environment, though understand that things happen. In the case that the banners become stained or dirty they can be washed at 30 degrees Celsius without additives.

Your artwork is valuable to us, and we take every step to keep a safe and seamless print workflow. To eliminate the inconvenience of sending recurring artwork. We generally try to store all artwork for up to 12 months.

What is SEG?

In short SEG stands for Silicone Edge Graphics, a type of fabric print with silicone beading sewn around the edge. The silicone edge fits into a groove around the profile of the banner frame. This helps the banner maintain tension across the frame. With the result of a high-end frameless appearance that everyone loves.
