A quality control panel can make or break a product. Even the most cutting-edge technology is obsolete if the user can’t conveniently operate it. That’s where the graphic overlay comes in. And Tapecon has the printing and converting capabilities to create graphic overlays with exceptional style and substance.
A graphic overlay, sometimes called a nameplate, is a printed graphic surface that is placed over top of the internal electronics of a product. The overlay serves multiple purposes. First, it protects the sensitive materials and components from environmental conditions and wear and tear. Second, and just as important, it provides a clean, intuitive experience for the user to operate the device.
At Tapecon, we believe that the graphic overlay shouldn’t be an afterthought of your design. In fact, it may be the first and most frequently used component your user engages with. Using top-of-the-line materials and our 100-plus years of experience, we can create a custom overlay that looks, feels, and operates to perfection, and elevates the entire experience of your product.
Graphic overlays can be found in a wide range of medical and industrial products that feature a control panel or human interface.
