Customizing each front panel label to your industry and application requirements, Label-Aid’s most requested graphic overlay features include:
Utilizes both gloss and matte texture on the same overlay
Polycarbonate or Polyester
Cut for plugs, connectors, pins or actuators
Knockout printing for surface-mount LED indicators
Hidden graphics, with your message appearing when label is illuminated from the back
Accentuates branding and improves aesthetic design
Raised label characteristics that provide a tactile target for actuator surfaces on membrane or sub-surface mechanical switches
Die-inverted or pushed into material surface for aesthetics and feature accent
Provides an optically clear window for textured materials, while retaining the smudge and mar resistance of a textured material
No adhesive around actuators, windows, or dead fronts
Control panel overlays create integrated user interfaces that combine button identification, protection, and functionality in a single durable component. Unlike individual labels, overlays provide seamless aesthetics, environmental sealing, and consistent tactile feedback across the entire control surface. They protect underlying circuitry from contamination while enabling clear window areas for displays and indicators, creating professional control interfaces for industrial and commercial equipment.
Control panel overlays typically use polycarbonate for optical clarity and durability, or polyester for enhanced chemical and heat resistance. Polycarbonate handles up to 200,000 actuations with excellent embossing characteristics, while polyester withstands up to 2,000,000 actuations and higher temperatures. Subsurface printing protects graphics from scratching and chemical exposure, while specialized adhesives ensure permanent bonding to various control panel surfaces and substrates.
