Membrane Panels and Overlays

Overlays

You can use any color or colors in your design, we just need the Pantone or RAL code for it.

PET or PC Overlays: This is the most commonly use Overlay for Membrane Panels. All graphics are screen printed on the rear surface of the Overlay making it very durable against mechanical wear and chemicals. We ship them with an adhesive layer on the rear suitable for your application, only for you to assemble.

Silicon Ovelays: A Silicon overlay is molded, therefore a molding tool is needed to be made to start with. Silicon overlays give a greater freedom to design your front panel and it normally enhances the tactile feeling when pressing a key compared to PET or PC Overlays.

However, the printed graphics will be printed on the front side and may therefore be more sensitive to mechanical wear or chemicals. As this Overlay needs a molding tool to start with the tooling cost is somewhat higher than for an Overlay with a PET or PC Overlay. However, the volume production price does not normally differ much.
