Select Textures

Adding different textures to your product's user interface enhances its look and feel.

For example, the majority of a polycarbonate overlay may be textured but the keys can be printed with a gloss coating, making it easier for users to locate the keys.

You might also add a select texture to logo areas, display windows or legends.
