What makes LexSaver® different from Lexan®?

LexSaver® is our exclusive material combining a Lexan® overlaminate with a poly or vinyl substrate, offering more flexibility and cost savings while maintaining durability.

Custom Graphic Overlays (Control Panel Overlays)

Q: What are graphic overlays and control panel overlays used for?

Graphic overlays provide a durable, functional interface on control panels, machinery, electronics, and membrane switchpads. They identify button functions, protect circuitry, and enhance user interaction in industrial and commercial settings.

Q: What materials do you use for graphic overlays?

We use Lexan® (polycarbonate) and our proprietary LexSaver® material. Lexan® provides a semi-rigid, matte surface ideal for nameplates and switchpads. LexSaver® combines a 5 mil velvet Lexan® overlaminate with a poly or vinyl base for flexibility and cost efficiency.

Q: Do you offer prototypes or proofs?

Yes. Every order includes a free online digital proof. You can also request a physical prototype to check alignment before full production.
