Panel Graphic has once again raised the bar in display enhancement technology by launching the UK’s first large-format vacuum lamination and optical bonding service for electronic displays.
This latest investment expands our in-house capabilities, allowing vacuum bonding of PCAP touch sensors and optical plastics up to 700mm in size – a major leap forward for industries that demand precision, performance, and durability in their display systems.
Vacuum Lamination for Clearer, Stronger Displays
Vacuum lamination, also known as vacuum optical bonding, is a process where displays, PCAP sensors, or optical plastics are precisely laminated in a vacuum environment using OCA adhesives.
This technique eliminates air gaps, enhances sunlight readability, and improves display contrast — while strengthening resistance to vibration, temperature changes, and moisture. The result is a high-clarity, high-reliability laminated display that performs in even the harshest conditions.
A UK-Based Solution for European Manufacturers
Until now, large-format vacuum bonding was only available overseas. Panel Graphic’s investment in state-of-the-art vacuum lamination and autoclave machinery brings this capability to the UK for the first time.
“By offering large-format vacuum optical bonding here in Norfolk, we’re giving customers across the UK and Europe the ability to produce high-quality laminated displays without sending components abroad,” explains Steve Earl, Managing Director at Panel Graphic. “That means reduced lead times, lower shipping costs, and complete control over quality and production.”
Applications Across Multiple Sectors
Our vacuum lamination and bonding service is suitable for a wide range of display applications, including:
- Automotive and EV dashboards
- Aerospace and aviation cabin displays
- Marine navigation systems
- Industrial HMI panels
- Medical and diagnostic equipment
- Outdoor and public information kiosks
Whether it’s a prototype or full-scale production run, Panel Graphic provides precision lamination and bonding solutions to enhance clarity, strength, and long-term reliability.
With over 25 years of experience in optical plastics, coatings, and display enhancement, Panel Graphic continues to push boundaries — helping manufacturers deliver displays that look sharper, last longer, and perform better.
