Arvico Standard SEG Graphic Artwork Guide

Applies to: non-lit SEG fabric graphics, backlit SEG graphics, replacement graphics, and standard-size graphic-only reorders.

Preferred File Format

• Print-ready PDF is preferred.
• AI, EPS, PSD, and TIFF may be accepted when fonts and linked images are included or outlined.
• Use CMYK color mode when possible.
• Keep important copy, logos, QR codes, and legal text away from trim and sewing areas.

Scale And Resolution

Submit artwork at full size when practical. For large-format artwork submitted at reduced scale, clearly label the scale in the file name and notes. Images should be high enough resolution for the final viewing distance. Low-resolution web images usually produce poor fabric output.

Bleed And Safe Area

Use the product template whenever available. When no template exists, submit the finished graphic size plus extra bleed for finishing review. Keep critical content inside the safe area. Backlit graphics should avoid placing small type or QR codes near the silicone edge.

Color

Fabric printing can vary between materials, lighting conditions, and production runs. For brand-sensitive work, request color review or a printed sample before full production. Backlit graphics should be checked both lit and unlit when color is critical.

Fit Review Required When

• The frame was not purchased from Arvico.
• The buyer only has photos or partial measurements.
• The project uses an existing frame from another supplier.
• The graphic is for a lightbox and the prior graphic fit is unknown.
• The buyer needs a replacement graphic but does not know the frame brand.

File Naming

Use a clear file name:

Company_Project_Size_Product_Side_Version.pdf

Example:

Acme_SpringCampaign_1000x2000mm_BacklitSEG_Front_v2.pdf

Preflight Checklist

• Correct size and orientation.
• Correct side count: single-sided or double-sided.
• Fonts outlined or packaged.
• Images embedded or linked.
• Bleed included or template followed.
• Critical content inside safe area.
• PMS or brand color notes included when needed.
• Deadline and ship-to ZIP submitted with the job.

Proof Approval

Arvico proof review checks obvious production risks before release. Approval confirms that the buyer has reviewed size, orientation, crop, visible content, and spelling. Manufacturing begins only after approval and required production information are complete.
