In products such as laptops and medical devices, nameplates and panels are small components, yet they directly influence the perceived quality and the user’s first impression.
Laptop Lid Logo: From Direct Printing to a Standalone Component
A laptop brand previously screen-printed its brand logo directly onto the metal housing surface. The process was simple and low in cost. However, after long-term use, the edges of the logo were prone to wear. On some units, the logo became blurred and illegible after just six months, damaging the brand image.
Kunshan Dawei Printing Technology provided the customer with a proven alternative: the logo was made into a standalone nameplate using PMMA material. The logo pattern was applied through screen printing, and the surface was then given a hard coating to enhance abrasion resistance. A 3M double-sided tape was attached to the back, allowing the nameplate to be precisely embedded into the pre-formed recess on the housing. The advantages of this approach are that the independent logo can receive a dedicated, high-quality surface treatment; moreover, since nameplate production does not rely on the housing mold, the customer can flexibly control the minimum order quantity and easily maintain a consistent visual standard for the logo across different models.
In practice, the use of an independent logo significantly extended its wear life, and the customer continued this design in subsequent new models. For laptop brands seeking to enhance the detail and texture of their products without increasing mold costs, this is a proven and practical path.
Function Panels for Medical Diagnostic Devices: Disinfectant-Resistant, Easy to Clean, and Clear Information
Medical equipment imposes stricter requirements on panels than ordinary electronic products. A manufacturer of a portable medical diagnostic device needed a function panel that clearly displayed the names and function icons for each button area. At the same time, the panel had to resist disinfectant corrosion, feature a smooth surface that is easy to clean, and remain fade-free over long-term use.
Kunshan Dawei Printing Technology chose PC sheet as the base material. The functional labels and icons were screen-printed on the front side, and a customized texture effect was created. The surface received a chemical-resistant treatment to withstand daily disinfection wiping. Double-sided tape was applied to the back of the panel, allowing it to be directly attached to the device housing for easy installation. This solution required no changes to the original structural design. A single panel simultaneously fulfilled three functions: information display, aesthetic decoration, and physical protection.
The medical touchscreen market continues to grow. According to industry data, the global medical touchscreen market is projected to reach USD 204 million by 2025 and grow to USD 273 million by 2032. Although Kunshan Dawei Printing Technology does not manufacture the electronic components of touchscreens, its panel products can serve as peripheral function panels, identification panels, or protective panels around touchscreens, providing medical device manufacturers with mature exterior customization services.
