Printed Electronics & Printed Sensors
Flat, flexible and light electronic assemblies for every industry
Years of expertise using printing technology enable us to make innovative products.
The first membrane switch was developed and produced in 1978 using printed electronics. Conductive pastes can now also be printed on substrates such as paper, textiles, or metal in addition to polyester.
Our functional foils and printed electronics enable compact, and extremely efficient electronic products that are used in every industry. Processing intelligent pastes that have various physical properties enable the production of new and innovative applications in minimized form factors without the use of additional, highly complex electronic components.
Printed functions create space-saving solutions in the most diverse areas of applications. Sample applications include:
> Printed circuits and resistors
> Transparent, translucent touch foils
> Hybrid assemblies (printed functions in combination with silicon-based electronics)
> Meanders for security technology
> Heating foils with PTC pastes
> In-mold electronics (printed functions in combination with injection molding technology)
> Smart packaging
> Printed batteries (primary and secondary cells)
> Printed antennas

Printed Electronics Solutions
Many of our sensor technology projects are based on fully developed standards, which can be easily customized for you.
Sensofoil® membrane potentiometer / membrane position sensor
Flat, durable, and precise – sealed linear and rotary displacement available on PET.
SensoForce printed FSR (force sensitive resistor)
They change their voltage as a function of pressure. Among other applications, they can be used to measure fill levels or control the speed of a fan correlating to the pressure applied.
Capacitive Touch Sensors
Capacitive sensors printed on polyester or circuit board are small, light, and can be easily customized to your requirements with single or multi-colored lighting of surfaces, symbols, or frames. Similar to touchscreens, the capacitive switches can be operated intuitively with only light touch.
Custom Sensors
You have not found the right sensor for your application? No problem! We manufacture custom sensors according to your application requirements.
Possible functions are PH sensors, temperature sensors and humidity sensors.
In-Mold Electronics
In-Mold Electronics combines functionality with design by integrating printed electronics with injection molding technology. It involves placing the film into the injection molding tool, seamlessly merging it with the plastic housing. Special substrates and pastes are used to ensure the printed electronics endure this molding process without compromise.
Flexible Hybrid Electronics
Two technology worlds collide: printed electronics combined with conventional electronic components. Using conductive adhesives, components such as ICs and LEDs can also be integrated on flexible films.
These hybrid electronics are used wherever thin, light and flexible electronic units are required. A technology that effortlessly meets the constantly increasing requirements: lowest possible weight, difficult substrates, limited installation space and custom sizes.
