A magnifying effect that protects and enhances your full-colour design

The resin drop, also known as doming, involves applying a layer of transparent resin over a pre-printed label. This layer creates a raised, glossy effect that acts like a magnifying glass, enhancing the colours and protecting the design from rubbing and scratches.

Advantages

• Striking three-dimensional effect
• Protects the design from bumps and scratches
• Enhances the colours and gloss of the print
• Ideal for keyrings, badges, pins, and nameplates

Handicaps

• Not recommended for very flexible surfaces or textiles
• Not suitable for highly curved areas or sharp edges
