At a brilliant price of 75Euros, I think this is a bargain if you are looking for some reproductions!

 

I asked and they are going to make the 260/280 ones next.

I’ve been trying to make custom HVAC control panels for weeks, does anyone know what material these are made out of? 
 I’ve been doing laser engraving on transparent acrylic. This seems way more thin, almost like a sticker.

very clean!

The HVAC panel is made by silkscreening on the back of thin transparent film and then that thin film was laminated to a thicker transparent plastic sheet for support and contour (it's a little rounded profile, right?).

On the thin film (.020 ish) they silkscreen the black outline first, then the white to highlight the white lettering, then the red and blue to highlight the remainder. Four screen passes total. And they probably started with a matt finish transparent material to get the flat front. And then after all the silk screening was done, they glued the flimsy thin sheet to the thicker acrylic material.

They use the same silk screening process for making membrane keyboard overlays.

Here's a couple pics of a HVAC nameplate. Front side:
