Product Description

What is a Graphic Overlay (Membrane Switch Overlay/Membrane Control Label/Panel)?

A graphic overlay is the outermost layer of the membrane switch assembly. It is the intuitive part of an electronic interface that connects the user to the machine, device, or equipment; and the part of the membrane switch which is visible to the user, graphically defining the locations of the keypads, and explaining the operation of the equipment. For these reasons, the graphic overlay plays a very significant role in defining the user experience.

Environmental Considerations Affecting Graphic Overlay Design & Material Choice

Indoor Use vs. Outdoor Use	UV, extreme temperatures, humidity, and moisture all threaten to degrade and shorten the useful life of the membrane switch. Ask Flexkys to recommend an overlay material that will best withstand these conditions.
Chemicals and Abrasion	Industrial chemicals and/or cleaning agents can damage the graphic overlay material. Care must be exercised to choose a material that withstands these chemicals.
Sterile Environments	Sterile environments may require an overlay material with anti-microbial properties that inhibit bacterial growth, as well as endure harsh cleaning agents.
Low Light vs. Bright Light	Some artificial and natural lighting can cause glare that makes the overlay difficult to interpret and is strenuous on the eyes. Flexkys offers overlay material in a range of gloss and antiglare levels to maximize the readability of your membrane switch overlay.
Heavy Use and Abuse	In environments that are subject to heavy operator use or even abuse, it may be necessary to specify a graphic overlay material that can withstand such misuse. Instead of a typical .007” thick polyester keypad overlay, it may be more suitable to utilize a more robust membrane switch overlay material such as: .020″ Metalphoto anodized aluminum .060” acrylic .018” stainless steel .040” glass Flexkys utilizes special switch technologies that allow these more rigid overlays to properly actuate the membrane switch keypads. Talk to one of our application engineers for more information on these technologies.

Aesthetic Considerations Affecting Graphic Overlay Design & Material Choice

Surface Finish	The surface finish of any graphic overlay is a direct function of material type and screen printing. Finishes may include: Glossy Non-glare Textured Patterned Metals (e.g. brushed aluminum, stainless steel)
Special Printing Effects	In addition to screen printing, graphic overlays may be printed using digital processes. This allows the graphic overlay to utilize creative effects such as: Fades Gradients Photographic-quality images Custom spot colors
Unlimited Color Choices	Graphic overlays can be printed with a virtually unlimited range of colors, including: Metallic silver Metallic gold Copper Bronze Combining metallic colors with a brushed surface finish is an excellent way to simulate the look of brushed metal.
Back Lighting and Displays	Because most graphic overlay materials are transparent, the ability incorporate back lighting and display components is available. Lighting options include: LCD LED lamps EL lighting fiber optic lamps It is important to specify a graphic overlay material that maximizes the desired back lighting effect. Flexkys’s engineering team can assist you with material recommendation.
Embossing	You may elect to emboss your graphic overlays, a secondary operation that raises the overlay in selected areas, typically the keypads. Styles include: Rim-embossed Pillow-embossed Lettering and other symbols can also be embossed for a more decorative look, or to accentuate brands and logos. Keep in mind that embossing does stress the overlay material, but will shorten the flex life of those keypads that are embossed.
