Silk Screening

Protocase completes the task of manufacturing fully finished, quality enclosures by offering silk-screening, a process that provides required labeling for connectors, switches, ports, etc., along with adding special graphics such a company logos, product identifier graphics, etc.

Our silk-screening process utilizes the latest in screen preparation technology, as well as using durable epoxy based inks, ensuring a high resolution and quality finish. Protocase stocks a variety of standard colors, and can provide custom colors upon request.

The clarity of silkscreen can be greatly affected by the texture of powder coat used. Generally for best results it is recommended you use a smooth finish. Silkscreen will work on various textures and colors but each situation is unique. This may require modifications to your silkscreen such as changing of fonts and thickening of fine lines. For more information, please contact tech support at tech@protocase.com.

Images such as company logos must be provided electronically. Faxed images will not provide sharp enough resolution for our process to replicate. If text-only screening is required, simply provide information´s such as font type, font size, font color etc by fax or e-mail. Our tech support team will be happy to produce the required text-only screens.

Silk screening, also known as screen-printing or serigraphy, is a printing technique that involves passing ink through a porous fabric, thus creating a sharp-edged single-color image created from a stencil.
