3D Urethane Doming

Urethane doming is a clear coating applied over your printing to achieve a high-end label that will make your product stand out from the rest.  Chrome polyester domed emblems are further enhanced with embossed patterns or textures.  Typically the embossing process is used for logos and graphics.  Using embossing to create visual texture adds a unique look to domed polyester labels.  The Spartan Trailers label uses a pattern embossed in chrome polyester to add sparkle.  Embossing a different pattern or texture will change the look dramatically.  Transparent tints of color can be added to the reflective chrome substrate further altering the look and creating vivid backgrounds or graphics.

Urethane Label Characteristics

• Durable: withstands continuous sunlight or outdoor exposure
