Steps to Measure SEG Frames

1

What You Will Need

• Tape measure with both inches and millimeters
• Pen & Paper
• Camera, or camera phone
2

Measure The Frame

Measure the outermost dimensions of the SEG frame. Use the inches side of the tape measure to record the width from side to side, and the height from top to bottom.

*If the frame was provided by 40 VISUALS skip to step 3. There is no need for any more measurements other than the frame dimensions.

3

Measure Frame Channel

Measure the frame channel, the groove around the perimeter of the frame, where the silicone beading is inserted. This thickness varies depending on the frame manufacturer.

Pull a section of the graphic from the frame to access the frame channel. Now use the millimeter side of the tape measure held straight across the channel at any point. Snap a photo of the channel next to the tape measure.
