Screen printed graphic overlays and membrane switch interfaces — precision crafted on polycarbonate and polyester for the most demanding industrial and medical applications.
Graphic overlays are the face of your product — the interface your end users touch, read, and rely on every day. IGI produces graphic overlays and membrane switch panels using screen printing, a process that delivers ink film thicknesses digital printing simply cannot match. The result is richer color opacity, sharper selective textures, and dead-front effects that look completely black when the device is off but illuminate cleanly when backlit LEDs activate. For your clients building medical devices, industrial controls, or consumer electronics, this level of quality is non-negotiable.
As a trade-only printer, we work exclusively with print brokers, sign shops, and agencies who need a production partner with real screen printing capability. Most shops abandoned screen printing years ago in favor of all-digital workflows, but overlays and membrane switch panels demand the ink deposit, chemical resistance, and substrate adhesion that only screen printing provides. We print on polycarbonate (Lexan), polyester (Mylar), and other engineered films — with subsurface printing that protects graphics from wear, chemicals, and UV exposure for the life of the product.
Our finishing capabilities include selective texturing for tactile button feel, precision embossing, custom die-cutting, and integration with adhesive backings and embedded LED windows. Whether your client needs 50 prototype overlays or 50,000 production units, IGI has the screen printing infrastructure and prepress expertise to deliver — so you can offer your clients a product most competitors simply cannot source.
A graphic overlay is a printed and die-cut panel — typically polycarbonate or polyester — that serves as the user interface for equipment, instruments, and control panels. It combines graphics, text, and transparent display windows in a single piece.
Polycarbonate (most common), polyester (for chemical and heat resistance), and vinyl. Material selection depends on the application environment, required flexibility, and chemical exposure.
Yes. We can add raised (embossed) buttons, textured surfaces, and Braille text to graphic overlays. These features provide tactile feedback for operators.
We produce the graphic overlay layer. For complete membrane switch assemblies (with circuitry and connectors), we partner with membrane switch manufacturers and can coordinate the full assembly.
