XG produces graphics for any TFS system, including BeMatrix, Tecna T3, EFKA, Foga, Octanorm, Pixlip, Spirit-Tex, Aluvision, Ultima Displays, Unibox, Very Displays, Frieze Frame, and most standard wall TFS extrusions.
Tension Fabric Systems (TFS), also known as Silicon Edge Graphics (SEG), are high-resolution digitally printed fabric graphics finished with flat beading (sometimes silicon) sewn around the edge. They are designed to be inserted into a TFS framework channel, holding them taut to create seamless flat display and exhibition graphics.
We can produce fabrics for any TFS system as long as we know what size edge keder they use; we already know the answer for most systems, including Aluvision, BeMatrix, DPI, Foga, Octanorm, Pixlip, Spirit-Tex, Tecna T3, Ultima Displays, Unibox, and Very Displays.
Most common systems take a 14mm x 3mm TFS Keder, but some systems take 12mm or 10mm. For example, the Tecna T3 system takes a 10mm PVC strip. If you are not sure what size TFS keder to specify, you can simply measure the width and depth of the TFS slot on your system, and we’ll be able to tell you.
We do this using simple but clever formulas and great technical kit. As long as we know the size of your frame, we use a unique process to ensure you receive your graphics within a tolerance that is better than the industry standard.
Simply measure the outside of the frame!
We don’t need to know anything more than that to ensure your graphics fit.
How to measure TFS Frames:
Measure the width and height of the frame, from the outside edge to the other outside edge from top to bottom and left to right. DO NOT measure from inside the silicone groove.
If possible, measure the groove width and depth in order to advise the correct silicone edging strip size.
The groove gap is usually 3mm to 4mm and the depth 10mm to 14mm.
If you know the brand of the frame we will be able to assist with this information.
Yes, the carbon footprint for TFS graphics is extremely low compared with other traditional display materials: They use less raw material, weigh less and pack down better for easy, low-cost transport.
Yes, SEG is commonly used in USA and means Silicon Edge Graphics
Yes, we do, however we recommend Dye sub printing for most applications. All our dye sub fabrics are specifically engineered for use in TFS, and the ink is dyed into the fabric so cannot scratch off or crack and therefore can be folded for storage and transportation. The choice of UV printable TFS fabrics is more limited, and to avoid damage to the printed surface. UV printed fabrics should be rolled for storage and transportation.
Fitting TFS graphics is easy, but following these tips will ensure your graphics look great:

The beauty with our dye sub TFS fabrics is that most creases will relax out once under tension.
Yes ,we can. We will need some additional information from you about the system you are using to ensure our processes are compatible.
Yes, we can offer fixed priced option for any regular customers
Yes, we do. We service a large number of customers that rely on our consistent pricing, competitive turnaround times and high quality.
Standard lead times are 5 working days, larger jobs may require longer but we are always happy to look at each job and offer a service that you can rely on.
Direct dye sublimation printed graphics may be washed with care in a normal domestic washing machine.
