Applications › Interfaces & Control Graphics
Small instruments need a lot of printing in a small space: connector labels on the back, a keypad or display on the front, a model name and a rating label somewhere. We print the front and rear faces as overlays or directly on the enclosure, with the connector cutouts machined, and supply the rating and safety labels on UL-recognized material in the same order.
Typical examples
- Instrument front panels with display and keypad
- Rear panels with connector legends
- Rack-mount faceplates
- Enclosure labels and model plates
- Benchtop equipment graphics
Materials, process and quantities
| Materials | Polycarbonate and polyester film, rigid polycarbonate, anodized aluminum, ABS; UL-recognized label stock for required markings. |
|---|---|
| How it is made | Overlay or direct print, CNC cutting of connector and display cutouts, label sets with variable data. |
| Quantities | One piece to prove the fit, then the run. Prototype samples, bridge quantities while a program settles, and recurring releases against a blanket order, each quoted on its own. |
| Options | Front and rear as a matched set, serialized model labels, backlit indicators, rack-panel sizes. |
| Who orders this | Electronics, instrumentation, test equipment, laboratory devices. |
What to send
Panel drawings with cutouts, artwork, and whether you want overlays or direct print on your enclosure.
