A Lexan label is a reverse-printed polycarbonate film that protects the ink behind a clear, scratch-resistant top layer. It is the most durable industrial overlay solution used on control panels, machine front plates and instrument fascia.
📌 Why Polycarbonate, Not PVC?
Although PVC labels were widely used for many years, they yellow over time, become brittle in cold conditions and have low chemical resistance. Polycarbonate (Lexan) keeps its mechanical properties between -40°C and +130°C, contains no chlorine and provides 10+ year outdoor service life.
📌 The Reverse-Print Difference
In reverse-print technology the ink is applied to the rear face of the transparent film. The print is read through the clear front, sealed away from external wear. Even after a decade of factory use, daily detergent contact and direct UV, the print remains pristine.
📌 Where Lexan Labels Are Used
- CNC machinery control panels and switchboard front plates
- White goods and home appliance overlays
- Medical device fronts (compatible with disinfectants)
- In-vehicle dashboards and accessory panels
- Membrane keypads and touch-sensitive panels
📌 Surface and Backlight Options
Glossy, matte, anti-glare and frosted (diffuser) finishes are available. With selective transparent windows and diffuser inks, Lexan film integrates smoothly with LED backlighting.
