Case Study: Dead Front Overlays
CHALLENGE
A client needed a dead front overlay for a new product with specific illumination requirements. They were facing the common challenge of achieving the perfect balance between hidden graphics visibility when illuminated and complete obscurity when not. Utilizing MSI’s Rapid Prototyping program was critical for their product launch timeline. Furthermore, they needed to explore various transparency levels to ensure the final product met their exact aesthetic and functional needs.
HOW WE SOLVED IT
MSI leveraged its 25+ years of experience in designing dead front overlays to provide a rapid and effective solution. We produced three distinct versions of the dead front overlay, each with a different transparency level. This allowed the client to directly compare and evaluate the options in real-world conditions. By proactively offering variations, MSI ensured the client had access to all available options, potentially uncovering solutions they hadn’t considered. This proactive approach, combined with rapid prototyping capabilities, allowed for quick turnaround and minimized delays. MSI’s commitment to excellence ensured the prototypes were production-quality, accurately reflecting the final product.
RESULTS
The client received three production-quality dead front overlay prototypes with varying transparency levels in a timely manner (MSI’s prototyping program provides additional versions at no extra charge). This facilitated a streamlined decision-making process. The client ultimately selected the version with 20% transparency, achieving the precise visual effect they desired. By providing multiple options upfront, MSI eliminated the need for costly and time-consuming revisions, saving the client both time and money. The rapid prototyping and proactive approach ensured the client could confidently move forward with their product launch, knowing the user interface would perform as expected. This case highlights MSI’s ability to deliver high-quality, customized labeling solutions quickly and efficiently, meeting the critical needs of new product rollouts and updates.
MSI's solution provides a clean, professional look that is made to last.
