UL is a global safety science company with more than a century of expertise in innovative safety solutions including certifications, programs, and products. SEG Systems has partnered with the Underwriters Laboratory to become the only manufacturer with both UL 48 and UL 962 certifications. These programs have developed norms and guidelines that have harmonized the design and manufacture of commercial displays, electric signs, and lighting that guarantee to operate safely.

Why should you care about working with a UL Certified Manufacturer?

Why should you care about working with a UL certified manufacturer? It’s simple! Products with a UL certification mark are recognized nationally as the highest seal of approval for safety. Which means you are getting the safest commercially rated frames, displays and fixtures that have already passed inspections. Talk about peace of mind for you and your company.

When a company uses a non-certified commercial display, they are putting their company at risk. What kind of risks? How about the risk of getting a bad reputation, facing lawsuits, and dealing with product recalls. Not to mention the costs associated with delayed openings. This becomes costly for a brand. So, it is essential to secure your company’s future by partnering with us, a manufacturer that can guarantee safety.

Reverse Load Window Displays

Looking to make an impact immediately with your storefront displays but need the ease of being able to update the displays frequently with limited resources and personnel? Let us introduce you to reverse load window displays, where your only limitation is the size of your windows.

Interested, then let us explain. Prior to our reverse load aluminum frame extrusions and lightboxes, you would have to maneuver the lightbox away from the window to get access to the lightbox frame to change out the graphics. Or in some cases if you hung or permanently secured the lightboxes to the ceiling or walls then there were no options except complete removal of the display to update the graphics and a whole new installation. That could be costly and time consuming!

Reverse load window displays and lightboxes allows you the flexibility to change out your graphics from the “reverse” side – the side that is behind the front facing lightbox, so you have complete access to change out the graphics while eliminating the need to move the structure. This is not only a time saver but a great safety feature too. Knowing that you have your displays installed one time and you don’t have to touch it again except to update your graphics couldn’t be easier and a great peace of mind for the store owners and their customers.

Wondering what the other side looks like when you are inside the shop? Well, I am so glad you asked. It can look like anything you want since this side holds a SEG fabric graphic too! Who doesn’t like a two for one deal?

SEG Systems’ Commitment to Sustainability

Our Sustainability Commitment

Building with Sustainability in Mind

At SEG Systems®, we are dedicated to being a sustainable partner for your brand. Our commitment shines through in everything we do, from our innovative motion sensor lighting solutions to our carefully curated network of environmentally responsible vendors. As a sustainable manufacturing company, we strive to make green choices every day.

We understand that today’s consumers seek partnerships with environmentally conscious companies, and we share that vision. That’s why we collaborate with vendors who prioritize sustainability and actively choose to source recycled materials. With excess materials, we take our commitment a step further by recycling those materials once again, repurposing and diverting from landfills.

Sustainable Solutions

We are dedicated to holding ourselves to a higher, more sustainable standard of business, and we are committed to partnering with vendors who share that vision – across all of our manufacturing material sectors. As such, we are focused on continuing to learn and source more sustainable materials for our partners.

SEG Systems’ aluminum extrusion process has an 8KM radius from raw ore to extruded and anodized final extrusion. In a world full of overseas partnerships, our domestic supply chain allows us to reduce our carbon footprint. In addition, all of our aluminum is converted using hydroelectricity – the cleanest form of electricity. Aluminum is one of the most sustainable materials on the market, with the ability to be recycled again and again without compromising its integrity. From aluminum billet to the saw chips that we collect post-fabrication, all our aluminum is recycled. 

Upon request, we source sustainable fabric for silicone edge graphics to achieve superior print quality and color expression with a greener fabric solution. Manufactured in America and microplastic-free, CleanRTex™ fabric is free from all toxic chemicals and utilizes REACH Compliant coatings. CleanRTex is printed using only water-based inks and is eco-friendly. We also offer CleanEdge™, a polyester keder solution designed as an eco-friendly alternative to silicone keders. Traditional silicone and PVC keders must be removed prior to recycling SEG fabric graphics, but CleanEdge is 100% polyester making it fully recyclable.

As lightbox experts, we are committed to LED technology and offer an expansive array of options for ultimate longevity and durability.  Do you have specific efficiency standards that need to be met? We are able to design and develop custom lighting solutions that help meet our clients’ goals at scale.

To advocate for forest conservation and restoration, SEG Systems’ millwork department sources from FSC certifiedvendors. These distributors are held to high standards to ensure their products are made with eco-friendly practices and materials.

Retail Franchise Design with Burn Boot Camp

Retail Franchise Design with Burn Boot Camp

SEG Systems Franchise Partnership with Burn Boot Camp

Burn Boot Camp’s mantra is Inspire.Empower.Transform. That is exactly what they have done. They came from simple roots, a husband-and-wife team with an idea to challenge women and men to make a positive change for themselves. It started in a parking lot and has grown to more than 350 locations, 400 franchises awarded, nationwide.

When Burn Boot Camp came to us in its infancy, they were looking to find a partner that could help build a turn-key franchise program and product catalog offering that would give their franchise partners the most flexibility. SEG Systems loves a challenge, you know the saying what doesn’t challenge you, won’t make you stronger (another big Burn Boot Camps motto by the way).

SEG Systems’ Vinyl Decals 

Retail Product Offerings for Franchise Partners

We dug in with them and produced retail product offerings and office décor that would fit a standard size, medium, and large franchise footprint. We also worked with them on developing three different price ranges from standard, better and best product line offerings to offer flexibility and affordability for a new franchise owner while also offering a more robust and dynamic product offering for those that wanted to elevate their footprint further.

The retail product catalog for Burn Boot Camp that SEG Systems builds and fulfills for them includes custom SEG products and millwork that could outfit an entire retail franchise location. Some of the products that we make for them include small, medium, and large retail wall merchandisers, front firing lit signage, SEG fabric lightboxes, 3D lettering to amplify their mottos, kiosks, pedestals with graphics and shelves, clothing racks, nesting tables, straight and L-shaped reception desks and trainer desks, storage cabinets, vinyl decals for walls and windows and of course our favorite, SEG fabric walls and fabric lightboxes that not only help form the very structure of the fitness facility but helps turn their mantras into living and breathing reminders of the positivity that a member should expect when they enter their hallow grounds.

Branding with Window Displays

Branding with Window Displays

Whether customers are window shopping or actively shopping, an effective window display is essential to draw attention to a brick-and-mortar store. Window displays are free advertisement that can shape a customer’s first impression of the store, before they even walk in.

There are many different types of window displays, each using visual merchandising techniques to attract customers. That is to say, developing a compelling display will not only entice potential customers to stop in front of your store but motivate them to go in. From eye-catching back-lit graphics to custom merchandise pedestals, SEG Systems can design, engineer, and build an innovative window display for your brand.

Open Window Displays

The ICON customization center highlights the story behind a custom design. These shoe pedestals are topped with acrylic boxes and feature an informational plaque.

Open window displays offer a clean look that focuses on the experience within the store. For example, this ICON storefront display for SEG Services and Under Armour utilized a bright, colorful lightbox around the window frame to highlight the inside of the store. With this transparent design, there is an unobstructed view of the customization center. Also, the frosted logo decals on the windows serve as a call to action to come inside.

 

Floor-to-Ceiling Window Displays

One of the largest lightbox displays in the USA, spanning 70’ x 20’.

Create a lightbox storefront display that attracts customers at all times of the day. For instance, these front-firing LED lightboxes are the brightest and most durable on the market, providing a floor-to-ceiling solution that stands out no matter what time of the day or night. Additionally, downlighting was installed to create a more dramatic look, emphasizing the bold colors of the Arc’teryx graphics. Read more…

 

Closed Window Displays

This Asics double-sided lightbox provides a branding solution from the inside-out.

Closed window displays are beneficial when a brand wants to draw attention to specific branding elements or merchandise products. For this Asics storefront, a large lightbox was paired with custom pedestals to glorify the products on display while also maximizing branding opportunities.

 

Interchangeable Window Displays

These custom graphics can be switched out for quick rebranding and other featured products. 

Bring your brand to life by integrating multiple elements into your display. For instance, this Derek Lam 10 Crosby display for Sephora personifies the Fragrance and Film collaboration with two structures placed on either side of the entrance. On the left, the product glorifier shelf shines light on each of the featured fragrances. On the right, the mounted monitor plays a film about the campaign, bringing the two components of the collaboration together. See more…

 

Elevated Window Displays

The acrylic backboard was accessorized with a custom-made aluminum hoop and a steel base.

Rise above the rest with a mounted, double-sided lightbox. For example, this elevated window display for Foot Locker positioned the NBA stars at eye-level to catch attention from passers-by and in-store customers.

The Benefit of Storefront Displays

In conclusion, one of the biggest benefits of a brick-and-mortar store is having a storefront to advertise your brand. Therefore, creating an innovative window display is an opportunity to bring your brand to life and to attract customers. In addition, these displays have a large impact on brand perception; they have the power to influence the way a customer feels about your brand or even drive engagement with your brand.
