Graphic overlays are a critical component to a membrane switch, capacitive switch, or touchscreens as graphic overlays are a touchpoint between the business brand and the end user or consumer.

The Print Process
At Reid Print Technologies, we have an extensive range of materials on offer. By using a variety of textured materials, the finished graphic panel can vary in look and feel, enabling us to achieve unique design pieces for each customer. The overlays generally begin as a clear piece of polyester or polycarbonate material. Once a base material has been selected, we begin by screen-printing or digitally reverse printing (sub-surface) on to the material, this ensures the ink is protected from wear and scratching ensuring longevity of the overlay panel. Then selective textures are printed on the front side (top surface printing) of the material to allow for LED and LCD windows. A variety of base materials are available, we recommend using polyester for any application where the panel will be flexed. If the panel is simply for badging or identification purposes polycarbonate is suitable. Both polyester and polycarbonate offer a variety of surface finishes from matte to high gloss and even hard coated gloss.
Unlimited graphic design options are a key feature of graphic overlay panels. Embossing, raised printing, die or laser cutting and the inclusion of clear or tinted windows for LCD and LED displays are just some of the effects which Reid Print Technologies can incorporate into an overlay panel to enhance its appearance and ease of use.
