Front panel Label
Hi
I have created a vetric operation for cutting out holes to mount switches and i want to create a professional looking front panel with all the switches labelled up.
How can i go from my vetric drawing to a accurate print of the text?
what i have is a black project box and i need white writing labelling the switches.

How are you wanting to create the labels? Printing or engraving?
I would get some 1/16" black (or any color) on white engraving plastic from Gravograph or Rowmark. You engrave through the top layer to reveal the white core. You could either make a label that goes above the switch and attach with double sided tape or a label with the mounting hole in it and have the switch mount through it and your box. These are commonly refered to as lamicoids/lamacoids in industry.

Strange you just mentioned that because i just started looking into it. I'm just trying to find a supplier here in the UK. A lot of suppliers seem to be for commercial and not hobbyists.Originally Posted by Qicker306

The suppliers local to me in Canada had no issues selling me small quantities of quarter sheets (24" x 12").
