How caselogos domed decals are made

Resin

We use a crystal-clear polyurethane dome resin (contents contain proprietary trade secret) with a semi-flex 85 -90 durometer (hardness) rating which gives the domed decal excellent memory and stability. Our doming resins are auto/marine grade designed for extreme long term outdoor exposure as well as indoor use. Non-yellowing, non-discoloring, non-curling, good gloss retention, has excellent weathering characteristics, it is chemical resistant and will not crack over time.

Although the semi-flex 85-90 hardness proves to be satisfactory for most applications, we have the ability vary the dome durometer to make the dome softer or harder depending on your needs*.

We also have to ability to embed a scent or odor (i.e. strawberry) into the dome resin or to embed other additives depending on specific needs (i.e. Titanium)*

Our domes are RoHS compliant.

100% mercury free resin available.

Caselogos doming resins are manufactured right here in USA with highest quality purest grade polyurethane.

UV Clear Protective Coating

Some substrates and inks require a special clear UV coating for best performance. This service is included at no additional charge when needed.

Ink

At caselogos, we use the highest grade UV inks with the addition of UV inhibitors for more fade resistance, flexibility and superior bond. Produced from raw materials derived in the USA.

Substrate

Our decals are cut from dimensionally stable vinyl and/or polyester. Unlike some of our competitors, we do not use top-coated substrates for full color printing. We print directly on the substrate, giving you a primary bond between your print and your decal.

Backside Substrate/material pre-treatment
Our substrates are corona treated so that our adhesive chemically bonds to the decal. We do not skip this step in production. Other companies rely on a secondary bond rather than a chemical bond. This prevents decal from being able to pull off from the adhesive itself.

Adhesive

All of our adhesives are suitable for indoor/outdoor use, but we have the ability to use custom adhesives for special applications. So if you have had a problem a problem in the past - call us - we love a challenge!
