Tech/Engineering - Printing & Publishing / silk screen
Spanish term or phrase: carátula
Products manufactured using silkscreen:

TECLADOS DE MEMBRANA-CARÁTULAS
ETIQUETAS INDUSTRIALES AUTOADHESIVAS-SERIGRAFIA TRADICIONAL

Defined:

Son un producto muy similar a los teclados en cuanto a sus opciones de fabricación. La principal diferencia radica en que las carátulas no llevan incluidas el circuito, por lo que actúan como elementos decorativos y guías de información.

keyboard cover
Explanation:
A keyboard cover (or keyboard skin) fits snugly over the top of the keyboard. It is used to protect the keyboard from dirt and spills. Sometimes the keyboard covers have the letters and symbols reprinted on them.

An internet search with "keyboard cover" or "keyboard skin" will bring up lots of options for looking at photos to see if this is the term you need.

I hope this helps!
