Use this visual reference alongside the answer, then connect the guidance to your drawing, application conditions, artwork, and RFQ requirements.
Plan graphic and control panel overlays around legends, windows, controls, panel geometry, receiving surfaces, alignment, exposure, and review needs. This answer is written for purchasing and engineering teams comparing custom identification options. If your application raises a related question, our team can review the details with you.

Graphic overlays are printed interface components that organize legends, symbols, windows, indicators, keys, and operating information over an equipment surface. A control panel overlay is planned specifically around the control locations and geometry of an operator interface. These products must coordinate visible graphics with the physical assembly beneath them.
Use these examples to discuss the construction, application, and documentation details that matter to your program.
