Solutions for Defense Contractors and the U.S. Military

The Department of Defense and the U.S. Military require compliance with rigorous regulations and product specifications. And for good reason.

Count on Industry-Worthy Products

The Cubbison Company has decades of experience designing and manufacturing nameplates, labels, and overlays for the Department of Defense. As a result, we are familiar with specifications unique to the military and defense industry, such as standard hardware, colors, and coatings. We are equally experienced in customizing products for military and defense applications to provide:

• branding
• equipment specifications
• operating instructions
• safety procedures and warnings
• simplified user-experience for controls and instrumentation panels
• UID capabilities to track tangible assets

OEMs and contractors in the defense sector need to factor certain risks into their product design: exposure to extreme temperatures, extended sunlight, weight limitations, and more. The Cubbison Company can comply with specifications or customize a solution that functions reliably in rigorous environments. Part of that solution includes the selection of durable substrates and adhesives.

Selecting the right substrate for your nameplate, label, or overlay is necessary to ensure durability, lasting readability, and compliance with regulatory and maintenance compliance. At times, your application might call for a lightweight, flexible material to satisfy product size and weight limitations. At other times, your product application could require a more rigid substrate, such as stainless steel, aluminum, or Metalphoto^®.

Selecting the best adhesive is an equally important design consideration, especially in harsh environments common to the defense industry.

The Cubbison Company offers a variety of substrates and adhesives so that you can manufacture nameplates, labels, and overlays that will withstand environments unique to the industrial power industry, including exposure to:

• chemicals
• extreme temperatures
• intense sunlight
• prolonged high pressure
• ongoing vibration

Engage in the Industrial Internet of Things

The Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) has created a connectedness among products, businesses, and cities. Defense and military applications are part of the solution, integrating smart devices that are central to our country's defense systems.

The Cubbison Company supports the flexible electronics and user-interface demands of of the defense industry, including membrane switches, sensors, and touchscreens. These products are designed for millions of actuations, often outlasting the equipment they control. To this, we can add the value of eliminating inadvertent actuations resulting from gloved operators or harsh environmental conditions.
