Membrane overlay, or membrane graphic overlay, is the outermost layer of the membrane switch assembly. It acts as the interface between the user and the machine, device, or equipment; and the part of the membrane switch which is visible to the user, graphically defining the locations of the keypads, and explaining the operation of the equipment. For these reasons, the graphic overlay plays a significant role in defining the user experience.

A well-designed graphic overlay makes a powerful first impression of your company and your equipment. The design of the membrane switch overlay will set your equipment apart from the competition by providing an unsurpassed user experience.

Not only does the graphic (membrane switch) overlay show the operation of the equipment, but it also satisfies aesthetic requirements, and more importantly, environmental and physical end-use application requirements. Membrane Overlay can be added to embossing which creates a more tactile user experience.
