Classic screen-printed front panels have evolved. And they continue to do so.

The development of new solutions to meet technical performance is accompanied by the search for aesthetic qualities, values that are now inseparable and unavoidable.

The ultimate goal is no longer the mere covering of electronic parts, but the creation of components that are integrated with the product design and at the same time able to offer excellent durability performance.

FRONT PANELS RESISTANT TO HEAVY USE

wear-resistant embossed key front panelsEveryone is looking for front panels with extreme wear resistance, and of course no manufacturer likes the idea of a worn or ruined panel after a few years.

Often it is also the target environment that has extreme conditions. Hence the need to equip oneself with panels resistant to:

  • weathering
  • mechanical stresses
  • chemicals
  • Wear and tear due to key crushing

Each sector naturally has specific requirements: for example, front panels for industrial dishwashers or professional kitchens in the Horeca Sector must be resistant to heat puffs, high temperatures, water vapor, etc. Similar characteristics are also required by the hot/cold sector: e.g., panels for boilers or thermostats.

A front panel for medical equipment or hospital furniture, on the other hand, might require an aesthetic component-e.g., wood effect coordinated with the rest of the furniture-in addition, of course, to a technical function.

SAC Serigrafia’s newly introduced novelty is precisely front panels with antimicrobial action, ideal for the medical sector but applicable to many other areas.

THE AESTHETIC PERFORMANCE

Front panels can be made with:

  • Pantone colors
  • RAL scale
  • Sample colors
  • Metal effect, glossy, matt, fluorescent
  • Chrome finishes in different shades
  • Textural textures: carbon, brushed aluminum, wood, etc.

Further aesthetic characterization can be achieved by combining different technologies: this is the case with a front logo panel made with a metal label, the eye-catching Metal Sticker, or with a thick emblem or even with resin-coated labels. Also impressive are panels with resin-coated buttons.

THE DIFFERENCE OF SAC SCREEN PRINTING

Our added value is technical solutions.

SAC Serigrafia can identify and recommend the correct printing methods, fabrication technique, adhesive type and composition material, depending on:

  • Specific applications
  • Performance required
  • Target price
  • Production volumes

Experience in the development of alternative processing solutions travels hand in hand with the quality sought in the final result: e.g., perfect print centering, attention to detail, etc.

And of course with the range of services that SAC Serigrafia deploys to save its customers time and energy, often anticipating their needs: for example, customized delivery for those with kanban stock or specific production line needs!
