Graphic overlays
Graphic overlays are a component or machines and equipment that complement identification, user interface, ease of use and consistent operation. Graphic overlays need to be legible, and fit precisely together with the equipment, which calls for accurate engineering, printing and precise diecutting.
Our overlays are manufactured in a variety of materials to demanding specifications for machines in a diverse range of industries and applications.
Nameplates
One piece of equipment can (and often does) have both a nameplate and a graphic overlay.
Both have to remain legible and intact — without fading, peeling or tearing — throughout the entirety of the product lifecycle. A nameplate will just be simpler — it won’t have a membrane switch, embossed buttons, LED lights, windows or any other features common on functional graphic overlays.
Membrane switches
If the graphic overlay is the conduit between the user and the piece of equipment, the membrane switch is the conduit between the button and the circuit board, telling the equipment to perform the desired action when a button is pressed.
We have the capabilities to provide OEMs with the entire equipment interface — including the five-layer membrane switch and the outer graphic layer — manufactured precisely to their specifications.
