Advantages of Digitally Printed Overlays

Digitally printed graphic overlays, control panel overlays, front panels, and decals provide optimal printing and creative flexibility without the limitations of traditional methods. Unlike conventional printing, digital overlays eliminate the need for screens or plates, reducing setup costs, speeding up lead times, and lowering minimum order requirements. Key advantages of digitally printed overlays include:

  • Offset-quality graphics with perfect registration
  • Unlimited data, serialization, and barcodes
  • Complete personalization for each piece
  • High resolution for fine vignettes and gradients
  • Affordable prototyping
  • First- or second-surface printing
  • Capability to print smaller font sizes
  • Extensive color options, including 4- and 6-color processes

Our Digital Graphic Overlay Properties

Label-Aid’s digital graphic overlays can be printed on various substrates, and our printing parametars are 12-in x 18-in sheet size with an 11-in x 17-in print size.

Here are some common features:

  • Top substrate, usually made of polycarbonate or polyester, which is five to 30 mils thick
  • Sub-surface ink graphics that are color-matched using the latest computer technology
  • Expert die cutting to critical tolerances
  • Applied adhesive custom-selected for optimum surface adherence

Most of our graphic overlays are sub-surface printed to fully protect the graphics from (1) top-surface abrasion, (2) contamination via spills, grease, moisture, chemicals and dust, and (3) weathering and UV damage.

UV inhibitors may be added to your material selection to increase label life in outdoor or high-light applications and UL materials are available. Your custom Label-Aid digitally printed overlays and front panels can be manufactured from the following materials:

  • Polycarbonate
  • Polyester (more durable, more chemical resistant, more crack resistant, allowing for many more actuations than polycarbonate)
  • Various hard-coat, scratch-resistant materials
