Bleed
Build beyond the visible edge
Keep background artwork beyond trim and keep logos, text, QR codes, and legal copy inside a safe zone.
Backlit SEG artwork setup
Backlit SEG Artwork Setup
Backlit SEG graphics need different review than non-lit fabric: file density, gradients, dark areas, fabric choice, lightbox context, bleed, and safe area can all affect the final result.
Setup checks
Make the art file reviewable before it reaches production.
This guide stays practical: it tells design teams what to send and what Arvico will review before proof approval.

Backlit SEG artwork setupSend final size or scale, bleed, safe area, linked assets, color-critical areas, and lightbox context before proof review.
Backlit SEG graphic bleed and safe areaKeep key copy, logos, QR codes, and legal text away from sewn or stretched edges; background artwork should extend beyond the visible area.
SEG lightbox artwork file setupBacklit output can change perceived density and color, so files with heavy dark areas, gradients, or faces may require extra proof attention.
Density
Backlit is less forgiving
Heavy dark coverage, subtle gradients, or faces may need extra proof attention before production release.
Color
Call out brand-critical colors
Tell us which colors matter most and whether the graphic is viewed lit, unlit, or both.
Proof
Do not release from upload alone
FastProof helps intake and risk review. Production still waits for required approval.
Procurement confidence
Fit, proof, and shipping clarity before production release.
This is the trust layer buyers need before switching suppliers: what Arvico reviews, what can stay unknown at intake, how pricing/payment are handled, and what evidence can be attached to the order record.
Fit reviewedStart with frame photos, outside size, visible graphic size, current supplier/model if known, or an old order reference. Unknown details can be resolved during review.
FastProof boundaryAI-assisted intake can flag artwork and fit questions. Human review controls final production release when risk exists.
Shipping confirmedHardware, oversize, show-site, residential, lift-gate, Canada, Mexico, and multi-location shipments are confirmed during review.
Saved fit recordsAfter a frame fit is confirmed, the setup can support easier campaign refresh and replacement graphic reorder.
Why Arvico
Factory-direct SEG review, not a blind catalog checkout.
Factory-led workflowProduction, proof review, QC, packing notes, and aftersales are handled as one reviewed workflow instead of a blind catalog checkout.
Daily shipping disciplineRoute, packing, freight allowance, and shipping exceptions are confirmed during review so buyers understand what is included before release.
AI where it reduces riskAI-assisted FastProof helps intake artwork risk notes, fit questions, and QC direction while human review controls final production release.

Buyer assurance
Start with partial informationBuyers can begin with photos, old model details, visible size, or artwork links, then Arvico asks for missing fit details.
Review before releaseFit risk, artwork risk, freight exceptions, and billing readiness are checked before production starts.
Premium positioningSEG lightboxes, replacement graphics, and frame-matching review are supported by AI-assisted FastProof intake and human production review.
Payment and invoice handling
Payment comes after proof/quote review, not before risk is understood.
Small and standard ordersCard payment through Shopify/draft invoice is the simplest path after quote and proof review. Card processing cost is normally built into the public price unless a separate policy is approved.
B2B purchase ordersACH, wire, check, or net terms can be offered after account approval. A PI/invoice should show product, freight allowance or shipping line, tax/exemption status, and payment instructions.
International entitiesHK/HSBC, PayPal, cross-border card, and wire fees need owner/accountant policy before public wording. Keep public copy neutral: payment instructions are issued after billing review.
