3D stickers

Doming is the technique whereby a thick, glossy layer of resin is applied over the print. ‘3D stickers’ is the broader term: this includes doming, but also involves working with individual letters on application tape. If you are specifically looking for that domed, glossy finish, please see the doming stickers section.

With 3D stickers, the embossed effect is in the sticker itself, which you stick onto a flat surface. Milled letters are individual letters cut from sheet material, milled and usually mounted at a distance from the wall. If you’re looking for letters that need to be hung as separate objects on a façade or wall, this is the more suitable option.

Because of its thickness, this is easier than with a thin film: the sticker retains its shape and does not fold over. If you are using individual letters, the application tape keeps them at the correct distance from one another whilst you are positioning them. You only remove the tape once everything is in place.

The source documentation for this page does not specify a service life or confirm suitability for outdoor use. We would therefore rather say nothing than give incorrect information. Please provide us with details of the application and the substrate, and we will confirm what is feasible for your project.

In practice, this applies to flat, smooth and clean surfaces: plastic, painted metal, glass, a wheel rim, a housing. A rough or porous surface is less suitable. If you are in any doubt, please let us know before production begins.

We handle the design, file checking and printing ourselves. We source the resin layer from a specialist manufacturer. We remain your single point of contact throughout the entire process.

3D stickers are not listed in the ordering module, so you cannot calculate the price yourself. The minimum order quantity depends on the version you choose. Please send us your design and the desired print run, and we will provide you with a bespoke quote.

That is precisely what these stickers are usually made for: the logo itself is embossed, or the letters are raised. Which designs are technically feasible depends on the production method and the level of detail in your design.

These stickers are not listed as a standard option in the ordering module, as the price is determined by a combination of the design, size and print run. Please send us the design and the quantity, and we will calculate the price for you.

Small. The resin layer is cast, and this works for items up to roughly the size of a hand. For a large, textured surface, you should look into milled letters, which are cut from a sheet.

The resin coating and the films are not PVC-free. However, these are small surfaces that last for years, so the amount of material used remains limited.
