Label Doming Companies

Not every label printing company does label doming. The label doming process requires a fair degree of skill and the resin is expensive. There are no cheap shortcuts to proper label doming and sloppy applications can ruin an entire printed job. For this reason, there are not many label print and dome companies around. For some label printers, the risk outweighs the potential profit to be made on label doming. Another reason for the scarcity of doming companies is that doming jobs tend to be quite small - usually a few dozen to hundreds depending on the size of the domed label. To dome more than a hundred stickers, usually requires an automated doming system. For many companies, the hassle of doming is just not worth the trouble, so you tend to get only a few specialized label doming companies or services that do the doming themselves (in-house).  

Some companies offering label doming services outsource their doming work to trade printers and there is nothing wrong with this. The reality is that if a doming company is going to dome your labels, they might as well print the labels as well as this saves the outsourcing company time and money and the risk to them is nil. Obviously, we guarantee a professional label doming service, so the buck stops here. We do the doming work ourselves, so failure is not an option. If the doming goes into the toilet, we print more labels and start doming again!

Printing labels for doming also requires a template adjustment. In general, most label printing companies will space the labels as closely together as possible to get maximum use of the print area. This is not advisable when printing labels for doming. Labels that need to be domed have a slightly different print spacing requirement. This can get label company bosses grumbling about print economies and the like, but its just the nature of the game. You can't cut corners and expect a good result. Rather, we print the labels in a way that allows for best doming practices. Label doming is a specialized post-print finish, so do it the right way once. Re-printing and re-doming a label job because you tried to squeeze profits is being penny wise and pound foolish. Companies that actually do label doming know this.
