Fabric Dye Sublimation Process
We use a Dye Sublimation printing process to print all of our fabric products. Dye Sublimation printing is a top-of-the-line printing process which produces vibrant, permanent printed graphics on soft polyester fabric. The dye-sublimation printer heats up to about 400 degrees to bond the dye to the fabric fibers permanently dying the fabric. The fabric print is long lasting and washable and won't peel off like other screen-printed fabric products.
Advantages of Dye Sublimation
- Graphics are permanent and waterproof
- Fabric is washable in cold water with air dry
- Colors are vibrant and long lasting
- True continuous tones equivalent to photographs
Fabric Material
We use a soft snit 5.0 osy polyester material that is crease resistant and has a slight stretch to it, which reduces the wrinkles with fully stretched over the display frame. The fabric has a matte appearance and will not glare or reflect light. The fabric is washable on cold and air dry.

Care and Use for the Wall Murals
We use a dye sublimation process to print on lightweight 100% woven polyester crease resistant fabric. The dye sublimation process permanently dyes the fabric creating a vivid colorful graphic that does not peel or fade. Your custom printed fabric is washable and folds up for easy storage.
Washing your fabric backdrop
- You can place your fabric into a washing machine on "Cold Setting", as long as it fits, to get out any dirt.
- To dry the fabric you should hang it back on the frame and let it air dry. Being a polyester fabric, it is almost dry as it comes out of the spin cycle.
Steaming
- We recommend using a steamer to remove creases and wrinkles that may happen from folding
Lifespan
- Your printed fabric will last many years with normal care. Slight fading may occur with multiple washes and may also occur when exposed to direct sunlight for a long period of time.
DO NOT STORE FABRIC IN PLASTIC. STORE IN A COOL DRY PLACE

Wall Mural Set up
Installing the Frame
1. Assemble the Alum frame using the corner connectors. If your frame is larger then there are straight connectors to put the lengths together.
2. Tighten the connectors with the allen wrench provided while keeping the joints as tight as possible.
3. Attach the frame to the wall using the mounting clips provided. Be sure it is level and plumb and the sides are straight. Clips can be used as needed, there is no specific place they need to go.
NOTE: The frame may not be perfectly square, so make sure you level and plumb all the sides. A quick check of squareness is to measure diagonally from corner to opposite corner. Both diagonal corner measurements should be the same.
4. Insert the fabric into all the corners first, and about 3 inches in from the corners.
5. Followed by the centers of each side
6. Finish by inserting all the rest of the fabric in around the frame.
Adding the Fabric
1. Insert the fabric into the extrusions with fabric wrapped to outside
2. Insert the silicone edge in the corners first
3. Then insert fabric in the middle of each side
- On the long sides keep dividing in half and insert in more points along the side.
- The fabric and silicone are meant to stretch and if you start on a side and keep pulling in one direction you will end up with extra fabric and a pucker will form.
4. Continue until fabric is flush in the edge of the frame
Changing the Graphic
1. Simply order the replacement size for your frame
2. Insert the fabric into the extrusions with fabric wrapped to outside
3. Insert the silicone edge in the corners first
4. Then insert fabric in the middle of each side
- On the long sides keep dividing in half and insert in more points along the side.
- The fabric and silicone are meant to stretch and if you start on a side and keep pulling in one direction you will end up with extra fabric and a pucker will form.
5. Continue until fabric is flush in the edge of the frame
Create different fabric graphics for different seasons or events and use them over and over. Since these can be folded for shipping you can easily change out large display walls with very minimal shipping costs.
Common Questions?
Why do I need a fabric wall mural?
Fabric wall murals have many purposes, they are meant to beautify public or private areas, however, you can use it for many other purposes such as retail signage where you can swap out the graphics depending on a holiday or sales event. The soft fabric is inviting and the vivid graphics attract the eyes of passersby. However you choose to use your wall mural it's sure to look sleek and professional wherever it's hung.
Is it easy to replace the fabric wall graphics?
Yes, it's incredibly easy to replace. Simply pull out the old graphic and insert the new graphic using the silicone edge and tucking it into the frame notches.
What does SEG stand for?
SEG stands for silicone edge graphics, this means there is a silicone strip sewn into the edges of the fabric, you then use that silicone edge to tuck into the aluminum frame. The silicone edge enables you to pull the fabric tight for a seamless, wrinkle free display.
How many colors or details can I use in my artwork, will it cost extra?
You can use any number of colors or any amount of detail in your artwork without incurring any additional fees. We print our fabric with dye sublimation technology in full color and no matter how many colors or how detailed the artwork is, it won't affect the cost of the sign.
What color profile should I use in my artwork?
We accept CMYK, RGB, Mixed colors and Pantone colors. We use a 4-color process, and each color profile will be converted to meet the original coloring as closely as possible.
When will I get a proof?
Typically, you'll receive a proof via email from our graphics department within 1-2 hours of placing the order, if the order is placed during regular business hours of 8:30am - 5pm EST, Monday - Friday, with the exception of holidays. If you place your order during off hours/days, you'll receive a proof 1-2 hours from the time we re-open.
I don't have a print ready file or software to set up artwork, how can I get artwork set up?
Unfortunately, we don't offer artwork set up in house. Good websites to find graphic designers are fiverr.com or 99designs.com. If you are not able to find a designer please contact us and we can refer you to freelance designers we work with often.
I realized I sent the wrong file when I received the proof, what do I do?
No worries, this is why we send proofs! If you realized something is wrong in your artwork or sent the wrong file, simply respond to the graphics proof email, and let them know if you are sending a new file or have changes to your design online artwork. Our graphics team will always send you updated proofs, and nothing goes to print without your approval.
I approved of the proof then realized it was wrong, what do I do?
We work fast over here, once the proof is approved it moves to production quickly. If you realize the proof was wrong after approving contact us as soon as possible. We can try to holt production if your order has not started to print yet. Once it starts printing it will be hard to pull it back at that point so the sooner you can let us know the better chances, we have to stop it.
