Doming – Premium Coating for 3D Stickers and Promotional Items

Doming is a process for creating decorative, curved surfaces with a crystal-clear 3D effect. Through the application of a highly transparent resin coating, a robust, long-lasting, and visually striking layer is formed. Doming stickers and 3D stickers particularly benefit from this process, which is widely used in the advertising industry.

SurA Chemicals, a family-owned company from Germany since 1998, is a leader in the development and production of high-quality doming materials and innovative doming resins for industry and promotional products.

​

How Does Doming Work?

The doming technology involves applying a clear doming resin to stickers, labels, or tags, which then hardens into a dome-shaped layer.

​

Doming Process Steps:

1. Preparation – Cleaning the surface to ensure optimal adhesion.

2. Dosage – Applying the resin using precise dosing equipment (e.g., DG 1000 T).

3. Curing – Using modern light-curing devices with UVA light for quick and uniform curing.

4. Finishing – Inspection and further processing of the completed doming stickers.​

​

3D Stickers – More Than Just Protection

3D stickers impress with:

• Shiny, three-dimensional optics with depth effect

• Protection against UV radiation, water, moisture, and mechanical stresses

• High durability and longevity

• Flexible application on PVC, polyester, or metallic films, as well as aluminum and plastic parts

As such, 3D stickers are ideal for high-quality promotional items and long-lasting industrial applications.

Doming Enhancement – Adding Value to Products

The doming enhancement offers several benefits:

• Value Increase: High-quality optics and tactile experience

• Longevity: Robust resin layer for long-lasting protection

• Individuality: Custom designs for various industries
