•Create nameplate with finely detailed individual graphics using pressure sensitive adhesive for final assembly

solution
Typically the Singular ID process, which creates individual metal graphics, uses a heat activated adhesive for finely detailed graphics.  The trademark symbol for the Alcon logo is an example of a small scale graphic, measuring only .050" in diameter.  The challenge for this nameplate was assembly to the final product didn't allow for a heat activated adhesive.  Applying the aluminum graphic to a decorated polycarbonate carrier meant fine metal graphics could be included while using a pressure sensitive adhesive for final assembly.  The polycarbonate background was printed to match the medical product.  A pressure sensitive adhesive was laminated to the back for easy assembly.
