factory in the same region.
This global setup and network orientation gives you all the advantages of manufacturing – both low and high volumes.
Roll-to-roll silk screen printing production setup
Our roll-to-roll productions setup allows high automation and low costs, which
ensures cost saving in the whole value chain. Our highly automated production ensures homogeneous products, robust manufacturing processes and high
consistent quality. The roll-to-roll setup also allows us to offer you easy and fully
integration in your own productions setup, with options of delivering on rolls for
pick and place or even in sheets.
Screen printing in our roll-to-toll setup allows for a variety of fully-automated
printing and finishing options. Our solutions are always customized in terms of
techniques, processes and materials, and match the requirements and specifications of the costumer. We provide you with rolls that can be incorporated directly
into your production setup.

Screen printed graphic overlays and display foils
Screen printing of graphic overlays and display foils in our roll-to-roll setup allows
a variety of fully-automated printing and finishing options. We offer production of
simple to complex solutions with larger variety in materials or print on both sides
of foil. An example could be an overlay with integrated light diffusion, blackening
effect and embossing for key solutions.
The application of our screen printed products are endless – We have several references in the HVAC and industrial automation industry, were graphic overlays is
used on pumps, controls and more. The display foils are often used as front solutions for consumer appliances, but any product were a front solution with
blackness or light diffusion is possible. Another application of our printed products, is as foil in the processes of In Mould Decoration, were we are able to supply
plastic manufactures or likely with cost effective foils in high volume.
ADVANTAGES OF GRAPHIC OVERLAYS AND DISPLAY FOILS
•
Cost effective compared to normal interface solutions
•
Blackness when appliance is in off mode
•
Diffusion of light in printed symbols when in on mode
•
Infinite possibilities for simple and complex solutions
As the use of touch screens for both consumer and industrial applications increases, so does the popularity of capacitive touch solutions.
Mekoprint offers competitive roll-to-roll production of capacitive foils, which constitute a crucial part of the touch solutions. Due to our fully automated printing
technology, we are able to deliver capacitive and graphical foils at a competitive
price to those produced in low-wage countries.
Roll-to-roll screen printed capacitive touch foils
Our capacitive touch solutions gives opportunities to expand the touch-sense
area, by using a thin polymer foil. This is especially advantageous if your design
requires, for example, centered backlighting of symbols. Combining the conductively printed touch foil with a double-sided adhesive, the touch foil can easily be
assembled directly to the backside of the decorative front cover.
A flexible, foil-based solution with adhesive works especially well in combination
with curved-shaped front covers, like an injection-molded and 3D plastic front as
often seen in large household appliances. Using a molded plastic front cover is
an option for designing a curved interface front surface. By integrating a flexible
touch-sensing layer in either PET or PC, this is possible. The touch-sensing areas
are simply screen-printed with conductive silver or graphite paste and connected
to the PCB via an integrated connecter tail, or customized contact springs.
ADVANTAGES OF CAPACITIVE TOUCH FOILS
•
A natural replacement for traditional keys and touch screens.
•
Is in line with the touch trend, and can be a more economical solution than
traditional touch screens.
•
A flexible solution.
•
A high level of automation throughout the production chain ensures consistent quality.
•
Lower costs for individual parts contributes positively to a lower price for the
complete application.
•
Professional coaching and innovated collaboration (design for manufacturing).
•
Roll-to-roll production and delivery on rolls ready for high automation at the
customer’s place of production.
Mekoprint as the perfect partner
