Design options for overlays, also referred to as graphic overlays, are expansive and dependent on your selection of substrates and manufacturing processes.
Overlays can be used as a standalone option for branding, asset management, compliance, safety, or informational purposes. They are especially useful when you want to provide a tactile and intuitive user-experience.
Overlays can also serve as the point of user interface for membrane switches and touchscreens. Read more about membrane switch overlays here.

Overlays for human-machine interface (HMI) products are especially important, since unclear operator instructions can result in safety and production hazards.
