You manufacture a $10,000 piece of industrial machinery or a premium household appliance. Sticking a flat, $0.10 paper decal on the front panel instantly degrades its perceived value. To match the engineering quality of your hardware, you need a three-dimensional branding solution.
Dome stickers (also known as 3D decals) are created by pouring a clear liquid resin over a printed label, which cures into a thick, protective lens.
The Rookie Mistake: Buying cheap "Epoxy" dome stickers. Standard epoxy resin reacts violently to UV radiation and thermal fluctuations. Within 6 to 12 months of outdoor exposure, standard epoxy will turn a murky yellow, harden to the point of brittleness, and eventually curl off the machine.
For any application facing sunlight, temperature shifts, or heavy use, we strictly specify Polyurethane (PU) Resin.
PU is chemically distinct from epoxy. It is highly UV-resistant, optically clear, and remains permanently flexible. It will not yellow, crack, or shrink, even after years of outdoor use on an excavator, a marine vessel, or heavy automotive parts.
Beyond aesthetics, a PU dome acts as a heavy-duty shock absorber. If a worker accidentally strikes the logo with a wrench or heavy tool, the flexible resin will dent slightly and then "heal" itself, slowly returning to its original domed shape. Furthermore, it provides a hermetic seal over your printed logo, making the ink entirely impervious to water, salt spray, and most harsh cleaning chemicals.
Because dome stickers are slightly heavier than flat labels, we use aggressive, high-coat-weight 3M adhesives (like 3M 468MP) to ensure permanent bonding to metals, plastics, and textured surfaces.
Yes, provided the curve is slight (like a cylinder). Because PU resin remains flexible, it can conform to gentle curves. However, they are not suitable for sharp 90-degree corners or spherical objects.
