“Inst-A-Screen” overlays combine the repeatability and reliability of the traditional Screen Printing process, with the flexibility and speed offered by digital printing. The result is a digital alternative to screen printing that allows us to provide our customers with custom overlays in both prototype and production quantities, without the normal set-up and tooling costs associated with screen printing.

“Inst-A-Screen” graphics are printed using a thermal transfer process, by which colored resins are fused into the back side of a durable 10 mil Polycarbonate/Lexan film. This provides the graphics with the highest level of scratch and chemical resistance available. Once printed, a “Peel-and Stick” 3M adhesive layer is added and the graphics are cut to your specifications resulting in a product that looks and performs like a screen printed graphic, but is produced in a fraction of the time and without additional costs.

Benefits of Inst-A-Screen” Panel Overlays
• No Minimum Quantities
• No Die-Cutting Charges
• No Color Screen Set-Up Charges
• Quick Turn-Around
• 3M Adhesive and Scratch Resistant Finish
• Consistent Color and Repeatability
• Revisions made in minutes Electronically

All of our graphics are designed and saved in electronic form on our hard drive which affords us the capability to make changes to an overlay in a matter of minutes. This fact coupled with our ability to die-cut the graphics in-house, eliminates the need for lengthy lead times and expensive tooling charges that are associated with the conventional method of producing overlays.

BW Industries, has been producing Inst-A-Screen overlays since 1999, and has developed the knowledge base necessary to ensure that our graphics will perform up to
the same levels that the industry has come to expect from traditional screen print panel overlays.
