Keypads banish bugs from hygienic applications
Fascia Graphics can now provide electronic equipment manufacturers with the first graphic overlays and membrane keypads which incorporate built-in Microban antimicrobial protection.
Prototypes are promised in less than five days
A new UK-wide service promises professionally manufactured digital overlays or membrane keypads for a trade show prototype or new product development in less than five days.
The company is expecting this new service to be very popular as it is a highly reliable process that increases the visual aesthetics of the substrate that is printed onto.
Having just added an additional 280m2 of production space to its Chippenham factory, the company will be allocating a dedicated operational space to this activity.
Fascia Graphics has identified the following benefits to customers of pad printing.
The company can now print onto buttons/switches that protrude through a holes, or print into troughs or channels or onto concave or convex areas.
By using pad printing to add graphics to a part, a significant value can be added as visually stimulating components are more attractive than plain coloured ones.
Assuming that the correct ink is chosen, pad printing can be carried out on almost any material.
And pad printing has the ability to print many colours without the need for intermediate drying time between each colour.
This helps to decrease the time to print multi-coloured parts as there isn't the need to allow each colour to dry separately.
According to John Law, a Manager at Fascia Graphics who is highly experienced in pad printing: "This new service will provide Fascia's customers with a greater level of flexibility when designing component products that require a strong visual identity".
"With this technology, we can also print onto a vast number of substrates and into troughs, channels or into concave or convex areas". Request a free brochure from Fascia Graphics ...
