Need an industrial overlay in Houston? ShadowGraph produces tough, subsurface-printed overlays on polyester and polycarbonate, using state-of-the-art equipment and decades of experience.
An industrial overlay is a thin printed layer, usually made of polymer or plastic, placed on or in front of equipment surfaces. These overlays serve to identify controls, offer operating instructions, and shield interfaces from wear, moisture, and chemicals. They may function as standalone labels or as the top layer of membrane switch assemblies.
You’ll find industrial overlays on control panels, appliances, membrane switches, medical devices, oil field equipment, ATMs, telecommunications gear, and other OEM and electronic products. They’re selected wherever clarity, durability, and a refined user interface are required.
We print subsurface on polycarbonate and polyester for superior durability and weather resistance. Options include selective textures, clear or colored windows, custom shapes and cutouts, and a variety of adhesives selected for surface texture and environmental conditions.
Durability depends on the material, printing method, and the expected environmental exposure. Subsurface printing, combined with the right laminate and adhesive, provides long-lasting protection against abrasion, solvents, and UV exposure. We’ll recommend the best combination for your application.
Yes. We manufacture overlays to your specifications—colors, textures, shapes, adhesives, and functional cutouts. We balance aesthetics with usability so that your overlay looks great and performs reliably.
