Graphic overlays tailored for your industry

MTM’s graphic overlays can be screen or digitally printed, or created using a combination of the two.

We have the manufacturing techniques and skills to ensure graphics are of high quality, display windows are crystal clear, and no light leakage around LED windows.

This expertise allows us to print complex designs with fine detail and variable data, while matching colours to Pantone or RAL colours systems, provided samples or your brand guidelines to get your desired colour.

Our range of overlay materials provide flexibility with good abrasion and solvent resistance for both indoor and outdoor applications.

Customer stories

I have just received the plates you made for me. I am absolutely blown away with how good they look. I would say they are as good if not better than the original, and thanks for suggesting going with a thicker material, because of this they have a higher quality appearance to them. I’m more than happy with the finished goods.

Types of overlays 

Anti-microbial® overlays 

Our Anti-Microbial® overlays are made using a robust hard-coated polyester that’s active 24/7 to inhibit the growth of bacteria on the surface. Perfect for medical device applications, the polyester film stays hygienically cleaner and fresher for longer than standard materials.

Photoluminescent overlays 

Glow in the dark photoluminescent overlays are ideal for industrial fire and safety signage, nurse call handsets and other medical devices. If the power goes off or the lights go out, the overlay will glow, making it visible in the dark.

Cut outs and clear windows

Graphic overlays are often fitted into a shaped recess, requiring cut outs for switches, knobs, LED lights or numerical displays. Crystal clear windows can be added to any fascia or control panel overlay, to allow displayed information to be clear enough to read.

Embossed graphic overlays

Embossed graphic overlays provide a tactile indicator of where to push to activate a function, with features like raised buttons that offer clear feedback for user interaction. Additionally, Braille provides independence for blind and partially sighted people.

Digitally printed overlays 

Using state of the art equipment and innovative processes, we are able to digitally print overlays using eco-solvent inks in either complex full colour or graduated colour designs. This allows us to make them bespoke for your needs.

Steel effect overlays 

Autotex steel polyester gives a stainless-steel look, offers high abrasion resistance, and has the flexibility to adhere to slightly curved surfaces. Cut outs, windows and embossed buttons can be added where required too.
