Graphic overlay

Graphic overlay is a decorative and functional element displaying graphical information at all times – even when the device is switched off. It can be a current keyboard cover, info or brand label, a scale, or a measuring-tape, as well as a barrier shielding the device against dust, moisture, chemicals, and mechanical impact. The simplest graphic overlay is a graphic, self-adhesive plastic layer, but it can be supplemented with various technical elements, relief, windows. Thanks to its high mechanical durability and excellent optical clarity, this is a very popular solution.

FAQ

6–20 business days on average. It depends on:

  • whether it’s a new or recurrent order;
  • the size of the run;
  • whether you have a proper technical drawing or information on materials, dimensions, color codes and other technical details;
  • whether print file or layout in vector graphics (CDR, EPS, vector PDF etc.) is available;
  • whether raw materials are in the warehouse or need to be ordered and when is the delivery;
  • how simple or complex are the technical requirements, e.g., raised buttons, tinted windows etc.

The lifetime mostly depends on two things:

  1. product exploitation conditions – whether it is indoors or outside; what is the cleaning routine of the device the graphic overlay is attached to; exploitation intensity; whether it is subjected to abrasion etc.;
  2. defined parameters, durability, lifetime of the materials in data sheet.

After clarifying the exploitation terms of the final product, we recommend the best solution. Generally, these are industrial glues, including selectively applied adhesives, and/or openings for mechanical attachment.
