Printed Electronics & HMI Products
CCL Design manufactures value added assemblies, combining state-of-the-art multi-layer human interface technology (HMI), through highly decorated interfaces with electronic functionality all in one unit.
Products
- Decorated overlays are assembled on printed electronic parts with printed tracks, metal switches and LEDs
- Enhanced decoration is carried out using UV moulding, sputter coating (NCVM) and screen printing
- Typical substrates are polyester and polycarbonate
- Chemical-resistant, anti-microbial and UV-resistant materials
- Multiple embossing options (indluding 3D effects)
- Backlighting
- Integrated with flexible circuits and PCB technology
- Tactile and non-tactile response keys
Membrane Switches and Control Panels

Human Machine Interface Assemblies
Technology
- Allows for fine detail reproduction, together with accurate colour matching and consistent repeatability
- Used for high-impact surface or subsurface decoration on a variety of substrates
- Offers flexibility with ink systems (UV-based, water-based, solvent-based)
- Ink finishes include metallic, mirrored, colour shift, reflective and functional pigments
- Unlimited number of print passes and colour changes with high levels of opacity
- Allows for printing onto thicker substrates - up to 5mm thick
Screen Printing
- Ideal for high volume and fast assembly
- High-speed, precise electronic component assembly
