Decorative Skins Enhance Home Décor

General Label Creates Customizable Security Keypads

Challenge and Goals

Homeowners are often turned off by unsightly home security system panels and look for a solution to have the keypads match their interior décor. General Label realized there was a market demand to eliminate bulky security panels and decided to create a solution that would allow homeowners to customize their security system keypads to be less of an eyesore, without compromising keypad functionality. Most graphic overlays are not durable enough to withstand everyday use or be easily removed as homeowners’ needs change, and still allow the keypad to function as needed.

Solution

General Label worked with FLEXcon to create a graphic overlay that can cover home security system keypads with the following priorities in mind: customization, easy removability with no adhesive residue, and keeping keypad functionality intact. Utilizing one of FLEXcon’s FLEXmount^® mounting adhesives, General Label provides graphic overlays to allow homeowners to change the look of their security system keypads to match their aesthetic preferences.

Using FLEXcon^® FLEXmount^® double-faced clear polyester mounting film, coated with a removable pressure-sensitive adhesive on one side and a permanent pressure-sensitive acrylic adhesive on the other, General Label is able to offer the perfect solution. The removable pressure-sensitive acrylic adhesive bonds well to metal, glass and high-surface energy plastics.

Results

Homeowners no longer have to settle for home security panels that detract from the design of their homes. General Label offers an array of decorative skins, which can be selectively applied around the touchscreen keypad of the security box and meet durability and functionality requirements. The overlay is strong enough to withstand everyday use, but can be easily removed without leaving residue, as customers may want to change the color over time. Working with FLEXcon, General Label is able to give customers the ability to customize their security system to match their style.
