What is coated overlay ?
A coated overlay is a layer of material—usually plastic or paper—that has been treated with a special coating to enhance its properties, such as durability, gloss, or printability. This coating can be glossy, matte, or textured and is often applied to protect printed graphics, improve visual appeal, or provide resistance to moisture, UV, or abrasion. Coated overlays are commonly used in packaging, labels, signage, and membrane switches.
