Expert In-House Finishing

We provide a complete range of in-house finishing services, including eyeleting, sewing, and precision cutting, to ensure your graphics are perfectly finished and installation-ready. Read below for more details.

Continuous Eyelet Webbing

Continuous eyelet webbing is a strong polyester strip sewn to the rear of the fabric, reinforcing the edges of the graphics for enhanced durability. The webbing’s evenly spaced loops provide versatile fixing points, allowing for more flexible and secure installations than traditional eyelets. This makes continuous eyelet webbing the preferred finishing for most fabric backdrops and banners.

Pole Pockets

Pole pockets are loops sewn at the top and/or bottom of banners or graphics. They are designed to allow easy hanging or display on poles. We tailor the pocket size using a precise calculation based on the pole’s diameter provided during your order to ensure a perfect fit. This ensures a secure fit and smooth installation for your banners or graphics.

Tension fabric finishing

Tension fabric finishing involves sewing a flexible kedar strip onto the edges of fabric graphics, commonly used in Tension Fabric Systems (TFS) or Silicone Edge Graphics (SEG). The strip fits snugly into the grooves of the frame, creating a tight, smooth display with a sleek frameless appearance. This finishing method ensures a secure fit and is ideal for exhibition stands, retail displays, lightboxes and other tension fabric structures.

Yes, we offer laminating services to improve durability and appearance. Options include anti-slip for floor graphics, gloss, textured, matte finishes, and anti-graffiti or UV protection for extended lifespan.

By default, we use traditional eyelets for materials like PVC banners, as they provide durable and secure fixing points. For fabric materials, we recommend continuous eyelet webbing. This method reinforces the edges, strengthens the fabric, and offers fixing points. Unlike eyelets, which are punched through the fabric and could lead to tearing, continuous eyelet webbing distributes tension evenly, making it a more reliable choice for fabric displays.

Continuous eyelet webbing is a reinforced strip sewn along the edges of printed graphics, featuring evenly spaced loops. It provides versatile fixing points, offering greater flexibility and strength than traditional eyelets. This finishing option is ideal for applications that require hidden or more secure fixings, such as large banners, fabric backdrops or outdoor displays.

When submitting your order, please provide the diameter of the pole to ensure the pockets fit perfectly. We then tailor the pocket size to ensure a secure and proper fit for smooth installation.

Pocket Stitching

Silicone edging is a flexible strip sewn onto the edges of fabric graphics, commonly used in Tension Fabric Systems (TFS) or Silicone Edge Graphics (SEG). The silicone strip fits into the frame’s grooves, ensuring a tight, smooth display with a frameless appearance. This finishing method provides a secure fit and is ideal for exhibition stands, retail displays, and other tension fabric structures.
