Overlays & Control Panels

Glavin ID prints and manufactures overlays and control panels for many different industries including medical, aerospace, controls, automotive after-market, construction equipment, and industrial equipment. We work with your engineering and manufacturing teams from design to prototype to finished product.  With a wide range of materials meant for all environments and decades of experience, Glavin ID will provide the right product for your application.

Graphic Overlays

Most commonly screen printed on a .005-.020 clear polycarbonate or polyester base material, graphic overlays are sub-surface printed to provide extreme durability. Our production team can create overlays with clear or tinted windows, selective texturing, transparent or opaque inks, and graphics capable of being reverse lit. We also emboss overlays to create raised buttons or make your product stand out. Our finishing services include adding adhesive, die cutting, and specialty packaging to meet our customer’s specifications.

Overlay & Back Panel Assemblies

A lot of graphic overlays get applied to a back panel. At Glavin ID, we have in-house capabilities to manufacture the back panel and apply the overlay to provide our customers with a turnkey, finished product. Back panels can be punched or laser cut out of aluminum or plastic. We provide additional processing of adding studs and stand offs inserted prior to the overlay being applied. We have partners all over the country to help us provide our customers with any specialty manufacturing applications required.

Control Panels

Control panels are used in the place of an overlay/back panel assembly. Instead of having the back panel and graphics made separately, the graphics are printed, engraved or etched directly on the panel. Control panels can also be made out of Metal Photo where the image is photographically exposed into the aluminum and the graphics sealed under an anodic layer. Our broad capabilities help us provide our customer with control panels that fit their application and budget.
