Commercial Printing

Polycarbonate Panel Labels

Made from polycarbonate (PC) film, panel labels align button markings and display windows with your equipment layout. Printing, cut-outs and adhesive areas follow the same drawing.

Applications

  • Machine control panels
  • Electronic devices
  • Measuring equipment

Specifications

Label dimensions
Minimum 30 × 30 mm; maximum 500 × 500 mm. These are the overlay's overall width × height. Window and hole positions are assessed separately.
Minimum order
500 pieces
Material
Polycarbonate (PC) film
Finishes
Gloss, matte and textured
Adhesive
3M 468 adhesive
Windows and cut-outs
Matching outer dimensions do not ensure fit if display windows, button centres or mounting holes differ. Define them from the actual equipment layout, separating light-transmitting areas from opaque print.
Surface compatibility
Film texture, adhesive and cleaning-product compatibility support everyday panel use. Assess the material's technical properties against the equipment's operating conditions.
Before printing
Drawing layers
Define cutting lines, holes, windows and adhesive-free areas on separate layers. Check that the drawing matches the equipment revision.
Checking the fit
Compare the overlay with the actual front panel. Check button and display alignment, symbol readability and adhesive areas on a sample.
Frequently asked questions
What material is used for polycarbonate labels?
We use polycarbonate (PC) film.
Which finishes are available?
Gloss, matte and textured finishes are available.
Which adhesive is used?
We use 3M 468 adhesive.
How are display and button areas positioned?
Windows, holes and printed areas are aligned with the actual equipment layout.

Reverse printing places text and colours behind the clear film. The front surface separates print from direct contact, helping protect graphics on frequently used equipment panels.

The graphic overlay brings buttons and indicators into a readable interface. Symbols guide the user while the equipment's mechanism provides electrical switching.

Three details of a polycarbonate panel label

A black panel with a numerical display on the left, key symbols on the right and a metal housing along the lower edge.
  1. Display window

    The window lines up with the display so that all the digits are visible. The drawing specifies the window size and its distance from the edge of the panel.

  2. Key centres

    The printed arrow should line up with the centre of the key beneath it. The spacing between adjacent keys is measured from centre to centre.

  3. Cut edge and adhesive area

    At the marked edge, the black label meets the metal housing. The adhesive is on the back. The production drawing shows the adhesive area separately from the display window.
