FAQ's
When reviewing dome label specifications, it's helpful to remember that a dome label is comprised of 3 basic components: doming materials used to create the dome effect, label materials which your artwork is printed on and the adhesive material which sticks your label to the desired surface.

Materials:
Doming Materials We use clear polyurethane with a hardness of 50 durometer Shore-D. Doming thickness can be controlled from 50-90 mils ±10 mils.

Operating temperature of -40°F to +140°F (-40°C to +60°C). No effect from several hours¹ exposure at 300°F (149°C). No effect from split second exposure to direct flame from propane torch. Sustained exposure to direct flame (1500+°F/816°C) will liquefy the doming material, but avoids holding a flame unless exposed to continuous extreme temperature.

Outdoors: It has been laboratory tested to withstand the equivalent of three years Florida sunlight in a salt-water mist without any shrinkage, yellowing or deterioration. Passed 1,500 hours QUV exposure. Passed 1,500 hours Xenon Arc Weatherometer at 2,900kj/m2. Passed 113,000 Langleys-Outdoor Florida Weathering (exposure to direct weather 5° from horizontal facing South).

Chemical Resistance: No effect from fresh or salt water; no effect from moderate to weak acids and alkali; No effect from Alcohols (e.g. methanol); Glycols and glycol ethers (e.g. ethylene glycol) acceptable, but some swelling may occur; Aromatic and aliphatic hydrocarbons (e.g. benzene and toluene) may cause some loss of gloss and swelling; Keytones, esters and chlorinated hydrocarbons may cause some loss of gloss and swelling.

Materials: Label Face Materials
All domed tabs and labels are printed on 2 mil film substrate. Our doming materials are rated for up to 3 years of outdoor use. Liner: 90# Layflat Liner.

Materials: Adhesive Materials
Our standard is 2 mil, acrylic permanent adhesive. This is a versatile, general purpose adhesive designed for excellent adhesion to a wide range of materials including metals, and most plastics including ABS. Excellent initial tack. Recommended minimum application temperature is 60 degrees Fahrenheit; service range temperature is -40 degrees to +180 degrees Fahrenheit. If you need a different adhesive, please contact Customer Care.

Colors: Available Ink Colors
Domed labels are digitally printed, four color (process color, CYMK) labels. We "build" your spot colors from CMYK. Because the doming process adds dimension to your label, if color match is critical we suggest you to opt for a live "sample" proof to verify ink colors.
