Decorating Solutions for Silicone Keypads at SiTech

At SiTech, we offer a range of decorating options that not only enhance the visual appeal of your silicone keypads and components but also improve their functionality and durability. Using cutting-edge techniques like screen printing, embossing, and engraving, we ensure your products are aesthetically pleasing, hard-wearing, and long-lasting.

Screen Printing for Durable Graphics

All of our positive and reverse graphics are applied using advanced screen printing techniques. We utilize proprietary silicone-based inks that form a permanent cross-link bond with the silicone rubber during the curing process. This results in a hard-wearing graphic that will last the lifetime of your keypad, even under rigorous use. Well-designed graphics can greatly enhance the user experience by improving both the appearance and functionality of your product. Here at SiTech, we provide the expertise to bring your designs to life with precision and durability.

Graphic Design Considerations

To ensure the highest quality of your decorated silicone keypads, we follow several key guidelines when applying graphics:

  • Solid colors can be printed up to the edge of a flat keytop.
  • On curved keytops, solid colors can be screened up to 0.015” from the outer radius.
  • The minimum distance from the edge of the keypad mat to a legend is 0.015”.
  • The minimum line width for a legend is 0.010”, with a minimum text height of 0.050”.
  • For concave or convex keytops, the minimum radius is 0.375”.
  • The maximum curvature depth for concave keytops is 0.060”, while the maximum curvature height for convex keytops is 0.060”.
