SEG Frame Measurement Guide
For existing or unknown SEG frames, measure the channel, visible opening, old graphic, profile depth, and bead/finishing details before quote or proof release. You can start with partial information.
Measurement checklist
Collect enough evidence to route fit review.
This page turns a vague request into a buyer checklist sales can act on.
Measure channel-to-channel
When accessible, measure from the outer interior edge of one channel to the opposite channel edge. This is often more useful than outside frame size.
Measure visible opening and old graphic
Record both. The opening shows what the buyer sees; the old graphic shows prior production setup.
Check bead and material
If possible, note whether the silicone bead is thin or thick, and whether the graphic is backlit, blockout, or non-lit stretch fabric.
Attach deadline and ZIP
Production route cannot be reviewed without timing and destination context.

How to measure a SEG frameStart with channel-to-channel when accessible, then capture visible opening, outside frame size, old graphic size, and profile depth.
Measure existing SEG frame for replacement graphicReplacement work benefits from both the installed frame measurements and the prior finished graphic size, if an old graphic is available.
Visible opening versus finished graphic sizeThe visible opening is what the buyer sees; the finished graphic includes fit and edge details. Do not assume they are the same.
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.
