What are domed decals?
A domed decal is a decal that has been covered with clear polyurethane material resembling a bubble. The construction of the decal is as follows: decal material with adhesive with a release liner on back, printing is on the materials surface, and then the clear polyurethane material is heaped on top of the printed decal.
Decals printed on various materials such as vinyl, polyesters and using the printing process of silk screen, digital, or offset can be domed. The decal must be kiss die cut on a sheet with waste stripped off leaving the decal of most any shape with rounded corners.
The sheet has 5, 10, 20, 50, decals up to a sheet depending on size of the decal and size of the doming equipment. The doming material is poured on the decal as a liquid, with the viscosity of pancake batter, the liquid flows to the edge of the decal and surface tension keeps it from flowing beyond the kiss cut edge. The reason all corners must be rounded, because rounded corners hold the surface tension better than a square corner. The mathematical formula of how much doming material is poured on the decal is related to the number of square inches of decal surface to be domed.
Domed decals are the Mercedes Benz of the decal manufacturing very high end and usually used to brand more expensive equipment. The domed decal gives the impression of the high quality of the product manufactured.
This happened because of the use of computers making the doming process less time consuming thereby the cost of doming a decal decreased in price, making it available for the everyday product manufacture.
For distinct identification with 3-D impact! Doming adds a look of quality that will clearly set you apart from your competitors. Thick, yet crystal-clear polyurethane is poured over each decal forming a dome which protects the imprint and gives it a three-dimensional look. The polyurethane is tough but flexible. It is also UV resistant so decals can be used indoors or out and will not yellow or weather. Domed Decals will make an impact for your company long after your product has been sold or installed. Place them on cars, boats, computers, or electronics.
