Domes® Design Specifications

Thickness:

Nominal height is 0.070" +/- .010" (1.75 mm). Note : Adhesive formulations will vary depending upon the application and performance characteristics required.

Size:

Maximum (in one solid piece) is over 100 square inches (645 square cm) dependant on shape. Maximum length of 34 inches (86 cm). Minimum is as small as 1/8" (3.18 mm) diameter under optimum conditions. We welcome the opportunity to review your requirements beyond these guidelines.

Color:

Color may be selected from any existing color guide or developed from a color master supplied by the customer. Transparent, solid, metallic and a variety of other ink configurations are available. Multiple colors are possible in a registered or random pattern (gradations, half-tones, etc.).

Substrate:

We can apply Domes® to many substrates: metalized polyester (mylar), vinyl, some paper pressure-sensitives, polycarbonates, aluminum, acrylics and others upon testing. We can also "dome" products other than our own.

Embossing:

With Domes®, embossing is strongly recommended to realize the maximum graphic appeal. We have a variety of patterns to choose from or you may wish to have an emboss created specific to your design.

Lens:

Four standard-height crystal-clear urethane chemicals are immediately available for Domes® designed to meet the required exterior durability and budgetary needs of most applications. Other urethanes are offered for special thinner/lighter Domes® applications. Custom formulae (minimum orders will apply) can also be developed to meet unique demands.

Adhesive:

Our standard adhesives will meet most requirements. We can use any pressure-sensitive adhesive and/or transfer tape specified. We will test and develop adhesives to meet specific requirements.

Construction:

Domes® will form a crystal clear "bubble" over a flat surface to create a dimensional effect. They are generally assembled as indicated below.

Parameters:

  • Minimum stroke width is 0.19" (3.0 mm)
  • Minimum outside radius of 0.03125" (0.8 mm)
  • Minimum inside radius of 0.0625" (1.59 mm)
  • Minimum space between prespaced characters is 0.12" (3.0 mm)
Note: The above example is for design reference only. Craft will evaluate designs on an individual basis to determine feasibility of manufacturing.
