Graphic Overlays
Often the first visual contact a user has with a product, graphic overlays help define your product’s first impression. This interface layer protects and incorporates graphics in touchscreens and membrane switches. As durable information labels, graphic overlays are functional, user-friendly interfaces that feature critical device use or service instruction. Boyd’s overlay options offer selective textures, printing, embossing, coatings, adhesives, deadfronts, and backlighting to create a custom graphic overlay.
Labels and Indicators
Boyd is a vertically integrated manufacturer of custom decorative, functional, and regulatory labels. We’re approved to produce UL, cUL, and CSA labels. Boyd’s expertise can help guide your project from development to production with regulatory experience.
Optical Encoders
Optical encoders tell devices when, how, and where to move in conjunction with an optical or magnetic sensor. Encoders are used to provide locational feedback to a motor or force actuator.
Plastic Injection Molding
From compression molding to plastic decorating, Boyd offers a complete range of plastic manufacturing services to take your product from conception to production. Leverage our in-house tool room services, engineering resources, and mold flow analysis to get high-quality injection molded components and assemblies.
