process Screen print and emboss polycarbonate
application Whirlpool trash compactor
challenge •Integrate dimensional nameplate into plastic overlay
solution The Whirlpool logo and graphic overlay are one part reducing the number of assembly operations on the final product. Mirror inks are screen printed on polycarbonate creating a bright accent on the Whirlpool logo. A sharp emboss gives the illusion the logo is a separate nameplate attached to the overlay. All decoration of the overlay is done on the backside (or second surface) of the plastic. The clear substrate protects the image from abrasion and chemicals.
