Challenges We Solve
Equipment for Discontinued Products
A control panel touched by a technician standing beside energized racks is a discharge path. Constructions are specified with ESD in mind, with shielding layers laminated into the assembly.
Dust and Particulate in a Controlled Room
Airborne particulate degrades contacts and clouds display windows. BTI die-cuts filtration media and perimeter gaskets alongside the overlay so the assembly seals as one part.
Panels Serviced in a Dark, Noisy Aisle
A technician working a hot aisle at 3 am needs to find the right key without reading it. Tactile metal domes give positive feedback, and backlighting is designed for even illumination.
Labels That Have to Survive to Audit
An asset tag or rating plate that has gone illegible breaks traceability at inventory. UL 969 evaluates the full construction for permanence, adhesion, and long-term legibility.
Continuous Duty and Hot Aisle Temperature
Equipment that never powers down cycles adhesive and ink for years without a rest. Adhesive is selected from the 3M pressure-sensitive range for the substrate and thermal range.
A Part Your Supplier Stopped Making
Racks outlive the vendors that filled them. Send the physical part, and we work from the component when the drawings are gone, then return it to documented production.

Why Data Center OEMs Choose BTI
Built With ESD and Dust in Mind
BTI's own specification for this sector starts from durability, tactile feedback, and resistance to dust, moisture, and electrostatic discharge, rather than adapting an office-grade part.
UL Authorized Label Supplier
Rating plates, arc flash placards, and asset marking are built as UL 969 label systems, evaluated for permanence, durability, adhesion, and legibility in the actual application.
Sealed Assemblies, Not Sealed Components
The overlay, switch, backlighting, filtration media, and gasket are laminated into one finished sub-assembly, so the seal belongs to the part BTI ships rather than to an interface.
Backlighting Designed for a Dark Aisle
LED layers are designed into the circuitry rather than added behind a finished face, which is what keeps illumination even and removes bright spots and dead zones.
What Our Clients Say
Equipment Manufacturer
Backlit Control Panel That Saved 20+ Hours of Engineering
A manufacturer wanted a control panel with backlighting that stayed even across the whole face. BTI took it from design through production, delivering a production-ready membrane switch that saved the customer over 20 hours of engineering time.
Equipment Identification
Printed Alternatives to Machined Metal Nameplates
Metal rating plates add tooling costs, extend lead times, and increase weight. BTI redesigned them as printed, embossed labels using metallic inks, keeping the original appearance and durability while eliminating the machining step.
Production Efficiency
Value-Added Assembly That Removed a Step From the Line
Rather than shipping loose parts for the customer to assemble, BTI laminated the adhesives, spacers, and overlaminate films, surface-mounted the LEDs, fitted the connectors, and delivered a finished sub-assembly ready to drop into the enclosure.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does BTI make labels and overlays for data center equipment?
Yes. Rating plates, arc flash placards, asset tags, control panel overlays, and sealed keypads for UPS systems, PDUs, cooling units, and rack hardware.
What is the data center labeling standard?
ANSI/TIA-606 governs labeling of telecommunications infrastructure, including cables, patch panels, and racks. BTI prints equipment identification to your artwork.
Can BTI supply ESD-aware interface components?
Yes. BTI’s specification for this sector starts from resistance to dust, moisture, and electrostatic discharge, with shielding layers laminated into the finished assembly.
Are BTI's rating plates and arc flash labels UL approved?
Yes. BTI is a UL Authorized Label Supplier building UL 969 systems, evaluated for permanence, durability, adhesion, and legibility rather than just material approval.
Can a control panel be read and operated in a dark aisle?
Yes. LED backlighting is designed into the circuitry rather than added behind a finished face, and tactile metal domes give positive feedback without the technician looking.
Does BTI make control panel overlays for UPS and cooling units?
Yes, with die-cut display windows, embossed key areas, selective adhesive, and anti-glare finishes, laser cut to +/-0.002 in and supplied as a finished sub-assembly.
Can BTI recreate a panel or label set our supplier no longer makes?
Often, yes. Racks outlive the vendors that filled them. Send a sample and we work from the physical part when documentation is gone, then return it to documented production.
Does BTI sell cable labels or on-site label printers?
No. BTI manufactures to a customer drawing for OEM production runs. For structured cabling labels and field printers, a cable labeling supplier will serve you better.
