I can’t say without knowing the product and the environment etc.



There are two common types of touch panels: Resistive and Capacitive.



This is a very short overview, but here it goes.



Resistive (RTP):

Most RTP overlays only allow one touch at a time. The main advantage is that any item can activate it. A pencil eraser, finger, tip of a credit card etc.



Capacitive (CTP):

This is what is used on phones and tablets. CTP allows multi-touch, zoom, scroll etc. Most only respond to a finger or a stylus.
