Capabilities for Graphic Overlays

Avocet Sales & Marketing has been working with Nelson-Miller to provide custom graphic overlays for a variety of industry uses. The graphic overlays can be produced using digital printing or silk screen printing. The digital printing process provides accurate printing in full color with abbreviated set up and production times. This process is used in all prototyping due to its short run convenience. Silk screen printing is optimal for producing high volume projects at a more economical price. The process requires more time for set up and production, but still produces accurate and colorful finished overlays. Our design staff and engineering team can work with you to create a graphic overlay solution that will be the ideal fit for your needs.
