Membrane Switches and Graphic Overlay Capabilities

Our Membrane Switch and Graphic Overlay capabilities include die cutting, embossing, laminating, forming, machining, serial stamping, and bar codes.

We offer a variety of substrates and special features can be incorporated to accommodate your branding efforts. Such as Embedded LED, Fiber optic and electroluminescent (EL) backlighting are options that can save you money, time and/or board space.

Tooling costs are low because we use steel rule dies to cut the circuit layers and overlays to your exact design specifications. You can even use multiple custom overlays with a single circuitry design lowering your overall cost of membrane switch design and manufacturing.
