Custom dome stickers are self-adhesive printed labels covered with a transparent resin layer that creates a smooth, glossy and raised 3D surface. They are also commonly referred to as 3D dome stickers, domed labels, epoxy dome labels or resin dome stickers. The transparent dome adds depth to printed logos, text and graphics while maintaining the visibility of the design underneath.
Dome stickers generally use a printed polyester film as the base material. A clear epoxy resin layer is applied over the printed surface to form the raised finish. Polyurethane resin may also be used depending on the required application. White and transparent polyester bases can be used with full-colour CMYK printing.
Custom dome stickers can be produced in different shapes, including round, square, rectangle and oval. Custom dimensions may also be selected according to the size of the logo, product or application area. A self-adhesive backing allows the labels to be applied to suitable clean and smooth surfaces.
3D epoxy labels are commonly used for product branding, electronics, machinery, equipment, appliances, packaging, corporate gifts and promotional products. They are particularly useful when a raised and dimensional appearance is required instead of a conventional flat printed label.
The main difference between a dome sticker and a regular sticker is the resin layer. Regular stickers normally have a flat printed surface, while dome stickers have a clear raised coating that creates a three-dimensional appearance and smooth texture.
The final specification of a dome sticker depends on factors such as shape, size, base material, resin type, artwork and quantity. For custom production, artwork should be clear and suitable for printing so that logos, text and other design elements remain legible after the resin dome is applied.
