Fully Customizable and Versatile Graphic Overlay and Front Panel

Graphic overlay and Front panel can also be called membrane overlay or Film overlay. Graphic overlays can now be seen everywhere on the market reflecting their wide range of uses. A product can occupy the market for a long time, and such popularity cannot be separated from its superior physical and chemical properties and its economic efficiency. So Niceone-tech really wants to promote the knowledge of products like Graphic overlay.

Graphic overlay can be said to be the first impression of a product for customers and operators, and it is often the first impression of a membrane switch and panel. A fully customizable Graphic overlay is an important design challenge for every designer. Usually Dead front panel is a very common choice for designers. As the application environment of the product is different, the design scheme is also different. Fortunately, Graphic overlay can be customized to meet almost any product and industrial design.

Details as follows:

1. Different colors can be formed by silk printing or digital printing.

2. Transparent or opaque.

3. The mold can be adjusted to form Embossing.

4. It can even meet different application environments through different materials. For details, please click here.

As an engineering designer, you need to ensure that you choose the right solution to meet the needs of your customers.

Because many times the Graphic overlay is a one-layer structure or two layers. First of all, let’s talk about-how does Substrate materials affect the product?

Polycarbonate and polyester are the most common materials for Graphic overlays (because PVC is not environmentally friendly, it has gradually withdrawn from the market). The common feature of Polycarbonate and polyester is extremely high water resistance, and the resistance to debris can withstand extreme environments. If the product often needs to be used outdoors, as a Graphic overlay manufacturer, we will recommend customers to choose materials that resist ultraviolet rays-HP92W or XE's Autotype material. Specific analysis of specific situations is what a manufacturer needs to do, and it is also our mission to provide the best customer experience to customers.

The second layer is usually adhesive tape, and the most common is also 3M series adhesive tape.

What is the backlight design of the Dead front panel?

When the product is powered on, the LEDs at the bottom can illuminate its graphics, logo, or buttons. In normal times, it is a normal hidden state. Therefore, we generally use different inks to form a complete graphic overlay panel. When we design the Dead front panel, we must also consider the product's feel and whether we need to prevent glare. At the same time, the lack of correct handling and printing methods will cause the product to wear and fade. So what the designer needs to do is to understand the material, the purpose of the product, etc. Through customized design, make the product look beautiful, use and economical, and so on.

For Graphic overlay and membrane switch panels products, the design needs to consider all aspects, material selection, design ideas, and how to implement a product in an economical way. It is very important to choose an excellent graphic panel manufacturer. Contact info@niceone-tech.com to get the information you need right away.
