Today major appliance and consumer electronics are an important part of home furnishing.
Thus, the importance of applications being both functionally effective and appealing to our aesthetic sense is essential to win the favour of the consumers.

Adding touch functionality to your major appliance does not require investing in expensive ITO-screens, best known from our smart devices.
By using a transparent printed capacitive touch sensors as part of the control panel, touch functionality is achieved in a cost-effective, easy, and appealing way.
Mekoprint production facilities enable screen printing of narrow conductive silver traces down to 50 μm – equivalent to half the width of a strand of hair.
Such fine line traces are especially useful when combining capacitive touch function with backlight properties in the user interface. The fine line traces also allow for high resistant properties to UV exposure, thus becoming the preferred solution in backlight user interfaces.
The natural properties of fine line printing also allow for optimum print layout where size is a mechanical important factor, thus allowing for comprised and minimized product developments.
Many of the world’s leading manufacturers of major appliance are among Mekoprint’s long term customers.
Together we have created a large variety of user interfaces for washing machines, dryers, ovens, induction hobs, dishwashers, and coffee machines, to name a few – All benefiting from our strong expertise in creating touch sensor user interfaces.
Our state-of-the-art, automated roll-to-roll screen-printing production enables us to accommodate the high demands from the major appliance and and consumer electronics industry.
Both for delivering high and uniform quality and at the same time ensure a globally cost competitive high-volume production.
As the traces becomes increasingly narrow the visual inspection of printed circuits becomes challenging. As the human eye falls short, we resort to technology for help.
To ensure low ppm failure rate, we have installed electrical test and automated vision systems throughout both printing and completion.
Look inside our Danish factory. This is where development and manufacturing take place in fully automated production facilities.
