SOUTH EASTInstrument Nameplates and Scale Panels
On an instrument panel, a fraction of a millimeter in a scale mark changes the reading. We produce panels and dial plates for measuring instruments with precision registration and fine-text printing as core competencies — consistent from prototype to volume.

What This Industry Demands
Nearly 40 years of production has taught us what matters here.
Precise Scales & Graduations
Scale lines and numerals must register exactly, with no drift or color shift between batches.
Legible Fine Text
Units and spec text in small sizes must print razor-sharp and stay crisp in use.
Integrated Panels
Display windows, keypad areas and markings combined into a single panel, done once and right.

Common Processes
The fabrication methods this industry uses most.
Screen and UV printing with exact positioning, stable batch to batch.
Scale marks etched into metal and paint-filled — abrasion cannot erase them.
Display cutouts and clear windows with clean edges.
Pre-production samples to verify scales and colors before volume runs.
