The first touch screen was a capacitive touch screen developed by E.A. Johnson at the Royal Radar Establishment in Malvern, UK around 1965. From their beginning, touch screens have come a long way and  are now used by many OEM's for their interface solutions. Check out the various types of touch screens on our website by clicking the following link /products/touch-screens.aspx.

Two of the most common touch screens are the resistive and the capacitive technologies.  See the chart below to better understand the differences between the two technologies.

Cubbison is excited to announce the addition of touch screens to their growing product line.  For over 50 years, we have provided custom product ID solutions to various industries and we are excited to continue our growth as a product ID manufacturer and interface provider. Cubbison will officially launch our touch screen product line at the upcoming Medical Device & Manufacturing Expo in Chicago September 20-22. Come visit us at booth #2269 to learn more about us and our various product lines!

According to Merrifield, "For us, it became obvious that our graphic products are mature (despite continued growth). Membrane switch production is not an end, but a way to position our company for future printed electronics products and applications."

Come visit us at the symposium on June 15th at 2:30 to learn more about Cubbison and listen to Tim Merrifield discuss, "Building New Business Opportunities by Implementing New Print and Design Methodologies."

A team member of Cubbison recently went above and beyond for a prospective customer who needed a rush on an order right before the holiday. The Monday on the week before Christmas this team member received a quote request from a new customer for metal nameplates that needed to be rushed. The customer needed this order by the Tuesday of the week of Christmas.  This was a new customer so artwork and paperwork needed to have approval. This Cubbison team member knowing production had their hands full because of the short work week and a lot of orders to produce before the holiday break went to the plant manager to see how Cubbison can make this order happen.  Instead of pushing it aside until after the holidays, she took ownership and went above and beyond for this customer to make sure the order was delivered on time. Cubbison had this order delivered on Monday, one day before it was scheduled and needed to be delivered.

The art team, production, and the Cubbison Team worked together to make it a Win/Win situation. Cubbison gained the TRUST of a new customer and that customer will continue to work with us because of our efforts.  This is just one of the many examples how Cubbison demonstrates great customer service and use of our multi-functional teams.

Exhibiting and attending at trade shows is a great way to reach prospects. These events allow for face-to-face interaction, product introductions, competition evaluation, and media attention.

Trade shows keep many companies up to date on the trends and technologies within their industry, creating a competitve advantage. Also, this gives professionals a venue to collaborate and discuss common questions about production, engineering, marketing, etc.

Trade shows are also a great time and budget saver for the Sales & Marketing Department by being able to interact with a large number of vendors in your company's industry at one time and place.

Overall, these trade shows and conferences are another way a company can increase their knowledge and experience within an industry by being invloved.
