What can Hallmark provide for YOUR product?

At Hallmark Nameplate, we supply equipment manufacturers with the labels, graphic overlays, and membrane switches that make products user-friendly, durable, and long-lasting.

At the design stage, manufacturers have to consider how users will ultimately interact with the machinery or equipment they’re producing. And graphic overlays and membrane switches are the medium used to make that connection. Our overlays and membrane switches provide the visual and tactile feedback needed to let a user know how to operate the equipment or machinery and to interpret feedback from the equipment.

From medical equipment to aircraft, Hallmark Nameplate products have been tried and tested. We have implemented quality control processes throughout our facility to ensure that not one single item is sent to you without our team inspecting it first. Our manufacturing clients are pleased with our service, design capability and quality control. And we look forward to working with you on your next project.

From nameplates to membrane switches… and beyond!

Our team is able to manufacture nameplates for any type of product and for any indoor or outdoor use. And our membrane switches are just as versatile!

The difference between a nameplate or graphic overlay and a membrane switch is the tactile response and the need for graphic design and engineering to be involved in the development process. A membrane switch is different from a simple nameplate in that it will allow for display screens, tactile responses, and proprioceptive feedback for the user.

If your product design has buttons or screen displays that need labeling or sealed coverage, contact the team at Hallmark Nameplates today to get started on your membrane switch design!

Hallmark Nameplate is ITAR Compliant

Hallmark Nameplates is proud to partner with US Military suppliers on nameplates, graphic overlays, and electronic assemblies. Our products are thoroughly tested and capable of military-grade conditions, and our commitment to design and materials integrity is evidenced by our standing as an ITAR Compliant vendor.

International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) is a set of United States government regulations that control the export and import of defense-related goods on the United States Munitions List (USML). ITAR is enforced through the US Department of State and is designed to protect the country’s military and defense objectives. For Hallmark Nameplates, compliance means that information and material pertaining to defense and military technologies for items listed on the U.S. Munitions List may only be shared with U.S. Persons unless authorization from the Department of State is given.

Our ITAR compliance ensures that if your organization is a vendor for the US military, our nameplates, graphic overlays, and electronic assemblies are similarly guarded as part of an ITAR compliant operation. Contact us today to learn how our products and complement your design.

Aluminum nameplates: uses and applications

At Hallmark Namplate, our products are quality assured and can stand up to a variety of conditions. Our toughest jobs call for aluminum nameplates. Hallmark Nameplate’s anodized aluminum and Metal Photo aluminum nameplates meet military specifications Mil-P-15024 and Mil-P-19834.

Aluminum nameplates are used for rugged indoor and outdoor applications, including those you’d expect for military operations. Aluminum nameplates are:

  • Available in Thicknesses from .003” to .032”
  • Anodized Material
  • Available in Matte or Mill finishes
  • Available in MIL qualified Metal Photo

With aluminum nameplates, conditions such as extreme heat, contact with abrasives, exposure to elements, and extended wear can be mediated. Our aluminum nameplates follow ITAR Compliance regulations and are ISO 9001:2008 quality assured.

Scalable solutions: we’ve got you covered!

If you’re in the market for nameplates, membrane switches, or electronic assemblies, we know that you have options for your manufacturing relationship. At Hallmark Nameplates, we differentiate our services based on quality control and responsive design. One factor we can’t forget, however, is that we’re able to provide partial or complete solutions to our customers.

Depending on your budget and your product’s end-design, we can handle all of  your electronic assembly needs from engineering design through production and testing. For some of our clients, however, they want only partial components assembled. With our scalable manufacturing, we’re able to handle production entirely or focus on constituent parts, depending on what you need to help make your product successful.

These scalable solutions have enabled us to build strong relationships with our clients over the years. In fact, our company as grown entirely because our clients have asked us to take on new capabilities. Our clients enjoy working with the team at Hallmark Nameplates and they enjoy our high quality, reliable turnaround production time. If you’re looking to begin a relationship for your nameplates,  membrane switches, and electronic assemblies, contact us today.
