What Are Domes?

Domes are an innovative solution used in the signage and labeling industry. They are labels or stickers covered with a transparent resin layer, giving them a glossy finish and a three-dimensional texture. This layer not only provides a more attractive and professional appearance but also enhances the durability of the label, protecting it from scratches, chemicals, and exposure to harsh weather conditions.

Domes are widely used in industries such as automotive, electronics, advertising, and others that require high-quality, long-lasting identification. Thanks to their design, these products serve not only as labels but also as a protective element, ensuring that brand images remain intact despite wear and tear.

Resin-coated labels, such as domes, offer multiple advantages over traditional labels. One of the main advantages is their superior resistance. The resin layer provides extra protection against wear and tear, making domes the ideal choice for products used in harsh conditions or exposed to external factors such as weather, humidity, or frequent friction. Moreover, resin coating gives the logos and images on labels a more striking, easy-to-recognize appearance, making them stand out more.

Other advantage it is the long-lasting durability. Resin-coated labels are significantly more resistant to aging and maintain their appearance intact much longer than standard labels. This is crucial for brands that want to preserve a professional look throughout a product's life cycle. Because of their aesthetic and functional quality, domes are a preferred choice in industries where brand image is essential, such as luxury goods and technology.

Many major brands use domes or resin-coated labels on their products due to their durability and high-end presentation. One clear example is Ford, which uses resin-coated labels on its vehicles, especially on limited edition and luxury models. In these cases, the labels serve as both an identification and a design element, adding aesthetic value and visual appeal to the vehicle.

Recognized brands understand the importance of using durable, high-quality materials to ensure the longevity of their product identification, making domes an ideal choice.
