Polyurethane Domed Labels

What is a domed decal?

A domed decal is a label that has been coated with a clear polyurethane compound to enhance the label and give it a three-dimensional appearance. Sometimes referred to as bubble labels or gel labels, domed decals are mainly used for their unique appearance but offer other benefits such as weatherproofing and chemical resistance.

How do you make a Domed 3D Label?

Domed labels are produced by printing images onto labels and then pouring a mixture of clear liquid polyurethane on top of the label. The decals then need to sit a few hours for the polyurethane to fully cure into its permanent three-dimensional shape.

How flexible or rigid are domed decals? Can it be adjusted?

Domed decals are normally relatively rigid and are best suited in applications where the domes can avoid being excessive bending. However, at TLP, the rigidity of the domes can be adjusted for specific applications to make them either more or less flexible. One of the main applications where flexible domed decals are necessary is with automotive floormats due to the bending they can be exposed to.

What’s the difference between a domed decal and embossed?

A domed decal is a label with a three-dimensional layer of clear polyurethane resin compound resting on top of it to give it the appearance of a “bubble” whereas an embossed label is where elements of a label (usually text or images) are raised above the surface of the rest of the label. A common example of an embossed label is a wine label where you can feel the pattern and text that are raised due to the embossing process.

Why do some domed decals yellow?

Yellowing or discoloration of domed decal labels can occur depending on what doming liquid a manufacturer chooses to use. If a label manufacturer creates domed decals with epoxy resin instead of polyurethane, the domes can harden, yellow, and shrink over time. However, TLP uses automotive-grade polyurethane that prevents discoloration and will maintain its physical properties over time. Epoxy resins are often used due to it being cheaper than polyurethane, but they will not last in their ideal state, unlike polyurethane labels.
