Interactive touch technology has outgrown smartphones and standard monitors. Today, industries demand thinner, larger, and more flexible surfaces. That’s where interactive touch foil (or capacitive touch film) steps in—offering a custom solution where traditional screens fail. At Gerteise, our precision-engineered touch foil helps OEMs and integrators turn ordinary glass into smart interfaces.

Here are six high-growth applications for 2026:
