User Interface Contract Manufacturing

At Eastprint, an East West Business, we have been an industry leader in providing custom keyboard assemblies for over 35 years. Our expertise in membrane switch technology is unsurpassed in the industry, making us one of the most trusted suppliers of user interface contract manufacturing services. Providing high quality, reliable keyboards, keypads, front panels, and more, we offer a broad variety of design and assembly options, user-specific features, and general interface capabilities. Customers rest assured that when they order from Eastprint, an East West Business, they are receiving cost effective solutions that meet or exceed the most stringent industrial standards.

Our user interface contract manufacturing services encompass a broad array of options to enhance keyboard assemblies. From engineering and design assistance to full production at the prototype, low, medium, or high volume level, our user interfaces fulfill every customer specification with economy and quality. Ridged and flex surface mounts are available, as well as electronic modules and turnkey front panel assemblies. A full breadth of design and assembly options are also available to maximize user interface. Some of these include dead front graphics, display integration, interchangeable graphics, metal backers, cable assemblies, and backlighting. Other options include optically laminated windows, graphic embossing, in-mold decorating, plastic bezels, tinted windows, machined or cast aluminum housings, and many others.

We offer adhesive lamination for membrane switches to rigid surfaces, making a critical impact in improving the long-term reliability of switches and LEDs. Our deep level of experience in this area allows us to offer laminations that provide a fully functional and tested switch assembly that is already laminated to a rigid backer, providing functionality for years. In addition to adhesive lamination, a number of other user-specific features are available. Some of these include Capacitive touch, metal dome, PushGate™, tactile graphic and polydome switches, as well as silicone rubber keypads and overlays and custom test fixtures and programs. Our materials are made using the finest quality inks, plastics, and metal alloys; they are assembled by hand, on an assembly line, in a work cell as well as with semi- and fully automated processes.

It is our goal at Eastprint, an East West Business to continuously improve our customers’ satisfaction. To this end, we employ the most innovative products and services, all the while never compromising quality. We are fully ISO 9001 and ISO 13485 certified and ITAR compliant, guaranteeing that our manufacturing processes are occurring at the highest level at every step.
