Plateau-Embossed Membrane Switch

Construction and how it works

With plateau embossing, each key is raised from the graphic overlay as a flat surface. Operators can find keys by touch without looking, a real advantage where gloves are worn or where fast input matters.

The embossing is formed with dedicated tooling under heat and pressure. Key edges stay sharp, the top surface stays flat and the printed graphics align precisely with the embossed shape.
