Silkscreen vs. Direct Digital Printing

Compare Protocase's two graphics methods to choose the right option for your custom enclosures and parts.

Protocase completes the task of manufacturing fully finished, high-quality custom enclosures and parts by offering two distinct processes: silkscreening and digital printing.

Both processes achieve labeling (such as identifying connectors, switches, ports, functionality such as on/off etc.), and/or branding and decoration (company logos or artwork).

Both silkscreening and digital printing can be applied to flat panels, parts and assembled enclosures. Beyond that, however, there are a few key differences between the two processes. One process may make more sense for your project, depending on your specific application.

We have a single-page guide to help you differentiate between silkscreening and digital printing, so that you can make the correct decision for your project.
