Not sure what you mean by "lexan decal". Lexan would be too stiff
to operate a switch through

I've done what the mftrs do - print up a label (decal) and laminate
it. Make a cut-out with a scalpel for the LCD before laminating. A
tact switch has about a mm travel and laminate is flexible enough.
If the LCD needs more protection (it should have it) add a piece
of Lexan/acrylic before mounting the label. You'll find that laminating
brightens and slightly blurs a print-out. Matte finish looks good in
general but may be a little too fuzzy to read the LCD unless it's lit
