| Case/Enclosure |
| The exterior portion of the remote control can be modified in a varity of way. Typically, color and texture are the most common ways to modify a remote control enclosure when using an off the shelf (pre-existing) mold and make them unique for your application. |
| Color | ||
| The
remote control case/enclosure color can be changed to match your design
requirements. Typically, the standard remote control case color is black,
both for low volume purchases or, higher volume purchases with no additional
costs. We can use a standard color, or match your pantone requirements.
Color pigments can either be mixed with the plastic, or, applied to the outer case similar to spray painting. Additional color modifications such as adding metalic paint flecks can be included. |
 Case/Enclosure Color Examples |
|
| Texturizing Several processes are available to add texture to the remote control enclosure surface; Hot Stamping and Soft Touch. |
||
Hot Stamping adds a metalic, slightly ridged texture to the surface of the enclosure. Text, graphics and logos can be silk screened onto the hot stamp surface. Hot stamping
is a dry printing process. In hot stamping, a metallic or color pigment
is transferred from a roll of foil to the surface of the remote control
by way of heat and pressure. A metal or silicone rubber die, heated to
a range of 150 to 200°C (302-392 F) presses onto the plastic object
through a colored foil. The heat and pressure releases the foil to the
surface of the remote to form a permanent bond with the remote. |
 Hot Stamp Texture Example |
|
| Soft
Touch adds a velvet, silk or rubber feel to the enclosure. Soft
touch is a special textured spray paint applied to the exterior of the remote
control prior to assembly. Many colors as well as clear are available. Soft
touch improves the durability of the surface of the remote as it is both
scratch and mar resistant. |
