Printed Panels customization
Digital printing is the latest addition of our extensive range of customization, which means Eldon can provide our customers with fully finished front panels and custom enclosures with consistent quality and total reliability.
WHEN AND HOW
The new Printed Panels customization for our enclosures is ready from April 24th 2017.
The printing system, based on alignment pins, offers highly precise positioning and alignment of your graphic design. Compared to the use of stickers, the placement of your design will be constant from one box to another! Common applications for digital printing include labeling connectors, switches and ports, adding special and detailed graphics such as company logos, bar codes and QR codes, to substitute labels/stickers from the doors of the electrical enclosures; saving effort, time and possible mistakes, making paints lifetime also longer and maintaining a low cost for the customization. Multiple sources state that an UV print will last 100+ years.
