Custom Outdoor PU Doming Labels – 3D Soft Badges with Unmatched Flexibility
Traditional epoxy doming labels are hard and prone to cracking on curved surfaces, under vibration, or in low temperatures. Our custom outdoor PU doming labels are made from high‑quality polyurethane (PU) – offering excellent flexibility, elasticity, and weather resistance. They are the ideal choice for 3D soft badges.
PU vs. Epoxy – Key Advantages
| Feature |
PU (Polyurethane) |
Epoxy Resin |
| Flexibility |
Soft & elastic, can bend |
Rigid, cannot bend |
| Impact resistance |
Excellent, does not shatter |
Poor, chips and cracks easily |
| Low-temperature performance |
Remains flexible |
Becomes brittle & cracks |
| Curved surface bonding |
Perfectly conforms |
Only flat or slight curves |
| Outdoor weatherability |
5-7 years, no yellowing/cracking |
Yellows and becomes brittle |
| Handfeel |
Warm, rubber‑like |
Hard & cold |
Product Features
1
3D domed effect – A rounded, glossy dome gives graphics a floating, tactile appearance.
2
Customizable material – PU dome thickness (0.5mm – 3mm), hardness (soft/medium/hard), and transparency (clear/semi‑clear/matte) can all be tailored.
3
Base substrate options – Can be laminated with PVC, PET, aluminum foil, or 3M adhesives for better bonding.
4
Printing process – Underlayer printed with Japanese‑made Seiko inks (the same supplier trusted by Apple®) using precision screen printing. Colors are vivid, edges are sharp, and the ink bonds permanently with the PU dome.
5
Outdoor durability – UV resistant, salt spray resistant, and temperature tolerant (-30°C to +80°C). Maintains performance for 5–7 years without yellowing, cracking, or peeling.
Typical Applications
Brand logos on outdoor farm machinery & construction equipment – soft labels on curved body panels
Automotive interior/exterior 3D badges (fuel cap stickers, wheel hub logos)
Vibration‑resistant, corrosion‑resistant equipment labels on ships & cruise liners
Decorative soft badges on sports equipment & camping gear
3D nameplates for electronic device housings (handheld tools, instruments)
Safety warning labels on children's toys & playground equipment (no sharp hard edges)
Custom 3D dome pins for luggage, bags & leather goods
Fully Custom Service
Based on your 3D drawing or physical sample, we can create molds for any shape, size, color, and pattern. Our engineers will recommend the optimal PU hardness , thickness , and base adhesive to ensure your label stays like new on curved, vibrating, or weather‑exposed surfaces.
Soft yet durable, flexible yet tough – choose PU doming labels and move away from hard, brittle epoxy.
