Doming
About the Technique
Doming is a branding technique in which a printed sticker is coated with a clear polyurethane layer, creating a smooth, rounded and glass-like 3D effect.
The coating adds depth, gloss and visual richness, while also providing protection against scratches, UV exposure and moisture.
This makes even a small branding element stand out with a premium and refined appearance.
Visual Result
- The surface is gently raised and smooth, with a soft, rounded finish.
- Colors appear brighter, deeper and more vivid due to the optical effect of the transparent coating.
- The result is clean, polished and high-quality, without the look of a typical flat sticker.
Advantages
- Doming stickers are highly durable and maintain their clarity and shape over time.
- They do not crack, yellow or peel, even under frequent handling and exposure.
- They allow full-color artwork, gradients and fine details, while remaining visually strong and readable.
- They adhere well to flat, hard or slightly curved surfaces.
Suitable Products
- Water bottles, tumblers and drinkware
- Plastic and metal promotional items
- Gift packaging and branded presentation sets
- Electronic devices and accessories
- Keyrings, labels, nameplates and merchandise items
