Part Decorating


We offer several post-molding decorating solutions including:

Sublimation Printing: a very durable solution for printing complex and multi-color graphics on parts, all within a single print cycle. The process is limited to printing dark colors on a lighter substrate.

A leading supplier of digital video editing keyboards found Signature Plastics’ sublimation printing process the right solution for their complex graphic requirements. Using this process, an entire keyboard containing multi-colored graphics can be printed within a single print cycle.

Pad Printing: an alternate solution for post mold decorating. Photo-etched plates ensure repeatability and print consistency over the life of the program. For added print durability, a UV cured clear hard coat can be applied.

Manufacturing capacity is supported by four printing presses, including a rotary printing station, a 4-color linear indexing press and a UV curing tunnel.

Paint and Engrave: Signature Plastics has the ability to paint and engrave custom non-standard keycaps to meet your unique backlit application. A CNC engraver cuts through the layer of paint to reveal the translucent molded keycap, allowing light to pass through. A highly durable flat enamel paint on the tough polycarbonate keycaps ensures years of reliable use. Contact customer service today to discuss your custom backlit needs!
