Part Marking & Product Graphics
Put your brand, identification, and operating information on the finished part. K-Display applies labels, decals, graphic transfers, and silk-screened artwork alongside fabrication, finishing, and assembly.
Make the product easier to recognize and use
A graphic tells someone which control to use, identifies a component, or puts your brand on the product. Labels and decals carry artwork on a separate material applied to the surface. Silk-screening places ink directly onto the part through a stenciled mesh. The method should suit both the artwork and the surface it lives on.
The marking method needs to suit the finished surface and its service conditions. Include the coating, cleaning exposure, and abrasion requirements alongside the artwork.
Information in the right place
Operating graphics belong beside the controls they explain. Identification needs to remain visible. Branding should read as part of the finished product, not an afterthought.
- Control panels and enclosures
- Machine housings
- Commercial fixtures and kiosks
- Finished components and assemblies
Artwork meets the actual assembly
A graphic that works on a flat drawing can disappear behind a bezel or handle. We coordinate artwork with the fabricated geometry, powder-coated surface, and installed components, keeping marking part of the complete build.
Locate the approved artwork
We connect the artwork revision, dimensions, color, and orientation to defined features on the part drawing.
Match the application to the surface
Labels, decals, transfers, or silk-screening are considered with the finish, intended use, quantity, and any supplied graphics.
Apply and protect
Marking is coordinated with assembly access and the specified handling and packaging protection.
Artwork, placement, and durability
Material, finish, quantity, and service conditions influence the marking method. A smooth indoor enclosure face presents different demands from a surface exposed to abrasion, cleaning chemicals, or weather. Size, contrast, and placement matter alongside durability.
Provide approved artwork with the substrate, finish, and exposure requirements. Separate fixed graphics from any changing information, such as serial numbers, for scope review.
- Production fit
- Marking method and production fit are reviewed with the artwork, substrate, finish, and quantity.
Check the view after assembly
Locate graphics from defined edges, holes, or other drawing datums, rather than an approximate position in a rendering. Leave space around openings, bends, and fasteners. Check the assembled view: a knob, bezel, or adjoining panel can cover artwork that looked clear on the flat part.
Specify the actual finish and service conditions, including cleaners, abrasion, and outdoor exposure where relevant. Surface texture and contamination can affect adhesion. Identify changing information, such as serial numbers, separately from fixed artwork, and provide the required data format and revision.
Judge graphic placement with the hardware installed. Instructions and identification must remain readable after knobs, bezels, and adjacent panels occupy their full footprint.
