Three common materials for graphic overlays are PC, PVC, and PET, with two surface types: matte and glossy.

 

 

  • PC: Boasting good physical and chemical properties, it works with various inks and is the most widely used. Available in both matte and glossy finishes. Matte surfaces, chosen to avoid light interference with control systems, reflect light diffusely (no harsh glare) and hide scratches. Glossy ones, though lacking these traits, have vivid colors—ideal for high-decoration, low-touch scenarios or special display areas like LCD screens.
  •  
  •  
  • PVC: Costs about half of PC, cutting production expenses. It has good ductility, allowing 3D patterns via cold pressing. Glossy PVC, usually over 0.5mm thick with water-based paper on both sides, is often used for decorative panels. Matte PVC, under 0.3mm thick, comes as fixed-length sheets (no coils).
  •  
  •  
  • PET: Rarely used as its properties are mostly replaceable by PC, except for special needs (e.g., insulation, resilience, solvent resistance). Typically glossy and transparent; a few matte products (e.g., Japan’s Kimoto KB series) have fine surfaces. Unlike PC’s mechanically calendered matte finish, PET’s matte effect is less pronounced.
