Overlays
Overlays are critical and give your product its visual representation to your end user, They are oftentimes your products “first impression” and give it the “look.” Overlays are commonly the most recognizable component on your product directing the end-user around the keypad, often representing what each button will do. Custom color matching and branding are critical, and we’ve got the technology and experience to do the job. We can also help your designers choose the best materials and functionality for your application.
We work with any type of overlay, including screen printed, digital printed, custom textures, transparent inks, backlit/deadfronts, thick lenses, metallics and embossing.
Color matching is critical on any overlay and MSI is an expert in color matching. Using Datacolor Software and instrumentation ensures MSI can match your color and maintain consistency run to run. We always match color back to the standard to eliminate “color creep”.
