High Quality Printed Electronics Rapid Prototypes

In the Printed Electronics Industry, product development cycles sometimes require the need for rapid prototyping or small production runs. Often this need is driven by milestones such as a proof-of-concept, the need to provide a working product demo to your client or you simply have a requirement for small quantities of high quality graphic panels or labels.

Reid Industrial Graphic Products has made significant investments in automated software and equipment to achieve a completely digital production process. A State-of-the-art wide format digital printing press, high-speed laser cutting machines in conjunction with thermal embossing equipment have enabled Reid Industrial to dramatically reduce setup times, avoid expensive tooling costs, and shorten delivery times.

Whilst we always place the highest priority on quality and utilise the full range of MacDermid Autotype polyester films and 3M product ranges, shorter than normal lead time is the over-riding factor in our prototyping and small production run services. Reid Industrial Graphic Products is an authorised 3M converter of the full range of 3M laminating adhesives.

Features & Benefits

At Reid Industrial Graphic Products, we encourage you to discuss your delivery requirements, our aim is to work together with you to meet your scheduled delivery deadlines.

Important Artwork Considerations Affecting Delivery Time

The artwork and documentation you provide plays a critical role in minimizing the lead time of your project. It is strongly recommended to supply the original artwork file in its native format, such as Illustrator or Corel Draw.

To avoid any transitional font and graphical conflicts we advise to convert all text to paths/outlines/curves to curves. Where possible, avoid sending file formats such as JPEG and GIF. Specify colours by their CMYK process values or by a coated PMS (Pantone Matching System) colour number.

By adhering to Reid Industrials Artwork Transfer Guidelines, will help us produce your prototypes in the shortest possible turn around time.

Membrane Switch Prototypes

Membrane Switches can also be produced as prototypes, which in essence is a small production run. The Graphic Overlay layer however, can be either digitally printed or a traditional screen print, and can be embossed and include metal snap domes. The circuit layers are fully-functional and screen printed using the same processes and standards as we use for our our production runs. These small quantities can also utilise our backlighting technologies, including Electroluminescent and LED.

Variable Data for Overlay Panels and Labels

By utilising a digital workflow with automated software, we can seamlessly output variable data in many formats, whether that is consecutive numbering or barcodes. Graphic overlays and labels can be first or second surface printed depending on your environmental requirements.
