How We Build It
From Drawing to Shipment in Six Controlled Steps
Every project follows the same documented workflow, giving purchasing and engineering teams clear checkpoints before tooling and before mass production.
STEP 01
DFM Review
Stack-up, tactile force, tail exit, connector and IP rating checked against your drawing.
STEP 02
Overlay Printing
Screen and digital printing with Pantone matching, textured, matte or gloss hard-coat finishes.
STEP 03
Circuit & Domes
Silver-on-PET or copper FPC circuits, stainless metal domes, LEDs and ESD shielding layers.
STEP 04
Laminate & Cut
Precision registration, spacer and adhesive lamination, then flatbed die-cutting to tolerance.
STEP 05
Test & Verify
100% electrical check plus life, force-displacement, humidity and yellowing tests by batch.
STEP 06
Pack & Ship
Anti-static, moisture-protected packing and export documentation for air, sea or express.

Engineer's Selection Guide
Which Keypad Technology Fits Your Device?
A practical comparison our engineers use during DFM reviews. It helps buyers shortlist the right construction before requesting samples.
| Technology | Typical Construction | Typical Actuation Life* | Environmental Sealing | Best Fit Applications |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Metal Dome Membrane Switch | PET/PC overlay, spacer, stainless domes, silver-PET or FPC circuit | 1–5 million cycles (dome dependent) | IP65+ with perimeter seal | Medical devices, industrial controllers, test instruments |
| Capacitive Touch Switch | PET, PC, acrylic or glass cover with printed sensing electrodes | No mechanical wear | Fully sealed, wipe-clean surface | Smart appliances, kitchen equipment, lighting control |
| Silicone Rubber Keypad | Compression-molded silicone, carbon pill or printed contacts, optional P+R caps | 0.5–1 million+ cycles | Good with gasket design | Remote controls, handheld terminals, rugged devices |
| IMD Panel | Printed film fused to injection-molded resin | Decoration lasts product life | Scratch & chemical resistant surface | Automotive trim, appliance fascia, consumer electronics |
| Acrylic / Glass Front Panel | PMMA or tempered glass with reverse silk-screen printing | Used with touch or display | Sealed with adhesive bonding | Display windows, touch HMIs, premium appliances |
| Stainless Steel Keypad | Machined metal keys, PCB with conductive contacts | Vandal-resistant duty | Outdoor-rated designs | Fuel dispensers, access control, kiosks |
*Typical industry ranges. Final values depend on dome force, materials and stack-up, and are validated on our in-house key life tester for each project.

Frequently Asked Questions from OEM Buyers
What is the minimum order quantity for custom membrane switches?
Most custom membrane switches, graphic overlays and silicone keypads start from 100 pieces. Prototype and engineering samples are available before mass production so you can validate fit, feel and graphics.
Which design files do you need to quote a membrane switch?
Please send a 2D drawing (DXF, DWG, AI or PDF), artwork with Pantone references, the layer stack-up if available, connector type and pitch, and environmental requirements such as IP rating or operating temperature. If you only have a concept or an old sample, our engineers can reverse-engineer and propose a stack-up.
Can AXRU build waterproof membrane keypads?
Yes. With perimeter-sealed adhesives, embossed polyester overlays and sealed tail exits we build keypads designed to IP65 and above, verified with our temperature and humidity programmable chamber.
What backlighting options are available?
We integrate SMD LEDs, light guide film (LGF), fibre-optic and EL backlighting, combined with dead-front printing and transparent display windows on the graphic overlay.
How is quality controlled before shipment?
Every finished keypad receives 100% electrical inspection. Batches are sampled on our key life tester, automatic force and displacement tester, tensile tester, ink decolorization tester and yellowing resistance tester, and inspection records are kept for traceability.
