Polyurethane and UV resins for domed labels
Add relief to your markings !
Doming consists in applying liquid resin on a printed and weeded label. Resin flows and stops at the edge of the label due to surface tension difference.
Once polymerized, by temperature for polyurethane resin or by UV light for UV resin, label is coated with a lenticular dome creating a 3-D effect on marking.
Doming creates a magnifying glass effect on your logo,brand..
This 3D effect improves marking impact on customers and enhance visibility.
Doming is versatile : domed labels can be used in many sectors : cosmetics, signage, industry, promotional items, packaging ... lenticular effect created by resin can be applied to all substrates.
Resin on labels creates a protective layer for marking. The resin dome is resistant to multiple aggressive environments (sun, rain, temperature, solvents, chemicals ...)
Doming is fast and easy. Once labels are printed and separated, resin is poured onto their surface. After drying, product is immediately available and can be affixed to the final product.
Doming is attractive: the 3D appearance of a domed label attracts the eye and makes you want to touch the product.
Catching attention is important for your brand logo, slogan, site, address ... making your product different from standard ones.
Doming is economical. Producing 3D labels does not require a significant investment, and it is largely compensated by the visual impact of domed products.
Doming is not expensive : cost price is low compared to benefits (increased sales, valued product, ...).

The application of a clear resin dome makes the image not only unalterable, protecting it from scratches, dust, liquids, shocks ... but also more "intense" and attractive thanks to a three-dimensional effect.
Easy, fast and non-toxic, the process provides labels with real added value, unrelated to its implementation cost.
Doming can be applied on all shapes (square, round, oval ...) and many supports (adhesive materials, metals ...).
Our polyurethane (mixer, dispenser) or UV (dispenser, oven) doming equipments are intended for companies operating in labels, digital printing, printing ... business and wanting to add the opportunity of producing domed labels in an economical, easy and fast way.
We do not supply application robots because our customers want doming as a complementary activity to produce small-medium series (a few hundred) or unique copies.
Finally we offer the Fast Drop solution, without investment, with the main interest of fast processing for small series.
Doming / permavision/3D label, consists in applying a clear dome of resin on a printed label.
It is used in many fields because:
- it is resistant (8 years outdoors) and protects prints from UVs, bad weather (rain, snow, temperature ...), chemicals (solvents, petrol, ...)
- it creates a 3D lenticular effect (magnifying glass) on signage
- it highlights marking with a special visual impact. It catches the eye and makes you want to touch the product.
- it is flexible : depending on used resin, it can be applied on any flat, convex or concave form.
For faster processing, our system consists of economical disposable elements requiring no tool cleaning, no use of solvents ...
Resin and hardener mixture is produced in a disposable container in the automatic mixer.
Then, product is placed in a disposable syringe with disposable needle (diameter depending on the size of doming) for application, using a pneumatic applicator.
At the end of the operation, container, syringe and needle are discarded.
Polyurethane resin applied on labels durably protect them for an outdoor period of 8 years from
- UV rays: the resin dome avoids sign fading over time
- chemicals: resistance to solvents, cleaning products, fuel, ...
- scratching: the resin is flexible and returns to its original position after being stressed
- environmental damages: rain, snow, temperature ...
Doming resins are available with several qualities and characteristics:
- epoxy doming: with low cost but yellowing of labels over time. Outdoor use is not possible. We do not offer this type of resin.
- polyurethane doming: with outdoor resistance to weathering, UV rays ... we offer this type of resin, in different qualities : flexible and fluid (large signage), flexible and less fluid (for small signage), rigid.
- UV doming: with the main interest of a short drying time: 10 minutes. After application, resin is placed in a Uv oven and crosslinked (dried) in 10 minutes. We offer UV resin. Its cost price is more important.
Doming can finally be declined in several uses: olfactory doming (incorporation of an aroma), colored doming (addition of a dye), phosphorescent doming (addition of a photosphorescent pigment), thermochromic doming (pigment reacting to temperature), textile doming (for use on fabrics) ...
Several solutions are available for you
- polyurethane doming with two possible solutions : fast drop (no investment, to produce small series and prototyping) or conventional polyurethane equipment (mixer, dispenser, trays) for a low budget
- UV doming, requiring a low equipment investment (dispenser and UV oven).
All our solutions offer lettering and signage companies, large format printers and screenprinters the possibilty to produce domed label for low investment.
Temperature should be above 20 ° c. The higher the temperature, the faster the doming will dry.Humidity should be well controlled and be below 60%. Beyond bubbles may appear in labels.
Dust presence should be avoided , the slightest dirt will alter doming.
For semi automatic doming (polyurethane or UV) a compressor is necessary to operate the pneumatic applicator.
Several techniques can be used for printing your labels:
- laser: we have a range of medias for laser printing
- solvent inkjet : all main brands of solvent plotters allow printing compatible with doming
- flexography and offset : inkjet printing with water-based inks is not suitable for doming.
1 gr of mixture covers a 5-6 cm2 surface with a thickness of 1.8 mm.
Therefore, its is necessary to calculate the surface to coat and deduce the volume of resin-hardener to be mixed.
File preparation: always leave at least 1 mm between each label. Preferably work on small formats (A4). As far as possible, round corners and avoid cutting sharp-edged contours.
Printing: When inks are completely dry, carefully remove paper between labels without lifting label edges. Then flatten with a roller.
Cutting: Adjust the plotter cutting strength not to reach the paper backing, so that resin can spread over the label surface by capillary action then stop at the edges. If the backing paper is slightly cut, resin will tend to spread outside.
La résine UV présente un temps de séchage court (10 minutes) réalisé dans un four UV. Le mélange résine + durcisseur peut être réalisé à l'avance, stocké dans un frigo et utilisé à la demande. Après dépose sur les étiquettes, le support est polymèrisé sous l'effet de la lumière UV du four. 10 minutes après les étiquettes sont livrables.
En polyuréthane, avec l'emploi d'un four (étuve) de séchage , le temps de séchage est de 2h-2h30.
