3D stickers and stickers branding
Wherever advertising is applied flexibly – even on site – stickers of any kind are a good choice. Adhesive coatings with different requirements call for individual products. You can choose between standard stickers, 3D stickers as well as the latest NFC sticker with integrated NFC chip.
Stickers and stickers made to measure
- Sticker with your company logo for branding
- Sticker sheets as fan pack (different sheet formats available)
- Warning and information stickers in industrial production
- large-area product labels such as computers, special ovens, appliances
- Lettering stickers for rear windows and other smooth surfaces

3D sticker with doming coating
Doming is the decorative 3D surface coating using resin, which gives your sticker a brilliant and crystal clear spatial effect.
This resin coating not only looks good – UV resistance, weather and color fastness thereby give your sticker a long life even outdoors. For Visdome 3D stickers, we use only hazardous-free, eco-friendly resin that cures quickly and evenly under UV light for improved quality .The doming coating makes your graphics impact and scratch resistant, it also protects against yellowing and fading caused by UV rays.
With a gel sticker you always achieve a terrific advertising effect on promotional items, NFC products, medals or awards, because domings can be applied to a wide variety of materials.
Doming sticker - What to consider?
- For sharp corners, a rounded radius of 2 mm must be included in the cutting contour.
- We print exclusively in CMYK color mode.
- Vector-based data such as EPS, PDF, CDR or AI ensure the best possible print quality. All fonts must be converted to curves or paths.
- Data in JPG or TIF pixel format – minimum resolution 300 dpi
- Allow 1 millimeter tolerance for cutting and avoid narrow lines or fonts close to the sticker edge.
- Bar width for contour-cut lettering at least 5 mm.
- ideal size of the stickers up to about 100 cm²
Sticker with integrated NFC chip
Together with SINNUP, we produce NFC stickers with and without doming coating, which can be applied to a wide variety of promotional items and products. This gives haptic promotional items an additional digital benefit.
There are the following options for NFC stickers:
- Visdome 3D sticker incl. NFC chip
- Sticker combined with NFC and QR code
- Special stickers can also be used for metallic surfaces
- individual linking
- Special shapes upon request
The NFC stickers offer the user digital added value without an APP.
Stickers - production in 5 steps
- With our high quality digital printers, the motif is printed on a white, silver, gold or transparent foil.
- The finished printed film is then clamped in the plotter. This cuts the upper film enough so that the excess material can be removed later.
- When weeding, the finished cut stickers are freed from the remaining film and cut into sheets if necessary.
- The cut edges of the weeded stickers serve as a run-out stop for the doming compound applied later in the case of 3D stickers. For standard formats, the resin coating is applied with the doming robot; for special formats and lettering, it is applied by hand.
- After a short resting phase, the resin is finally cured under UV light.
3D Doming Stickers Technical Details
What is Doming?
Doming is the decorative 3D surface coating that gives your stickers a brilliant and crystal clear spatial effect.
This highly transparent coating doesn’t just look good – UV resistance, weather and color fastness give your stickers a long life, even outdoors. Doming makes your graphics impact and scratch resistant, plus it protects against yellowing and fading from UV rays.
How is a 3D doming sticker made?
The complete production takes place at our location in Kallham – Upper Austria. In-house digital printing and 3D coating thus already allow smallest runs from one piece!
Digital printing
With our high quality digital printers, the motif is printed on a white, silver or gold foil.
Plotting the stickers
The finished printed film is then clamped in the plotter. This cuts the upper film enough so that the excess material can be removed later.
Weeding the stickers
When weeding, the finished cut stickers are freed from the remaining film. The cut edges of the stickers serve as a run-out stop for the doming compound applied later.
Application of the synthetic resin
For standard formats, the 3D coating is applied with the doming robot; for special formats and lettering, it is applied by hand.
After a short resting phase, the resin is finally cured under UV light.

6 crystal clear advantages of Visdome 3D stickers
1. hazardous material free
We use a doming material free of hazardous substances and isocyanates, which does not cause any ecological impact on humans and the environment. Also the hardening by UV light is completely harmless.
2. UV light curing
The UV light ensures fast and uniform curing, thus guaranteeing significantly improved surface quality.
3. high transparency
The high transparency of the glossy surface is due to the extreme purity of the material. The crystal-clear, glossy surface creates a particularly refined three-dimensional effect.
4. durable & weatherproof
Visdome resin cures under UVA light and is UV and moisture resistant. This makes the stickers absolutely weatherproof. No yellowing and fading tarnish the brilliant appearance!
5. hardness elastic
The hard elastic and flexible synthetic resin makes it possible for the first time to apply the 3D stickers even on curved surfaces.
6. smooth & tack free
Due to the smooth, non-stick surface of the doming stickers, soiling is greatly reduced -.
especially also in the outdoor area.
Application areas for 3D stickers & stickers
With our 3D coating, you will always achieve a terrific advertising effect. Domings can be bonded to a wide variety of materials.
What sticker shapes are possible?
Due to the digital print/cut technology, in principle any sticker shape can be implemented:
- square or rectangular
- round or oval
- individual special forms
Special formats cannot be ordered via our online calculator for technical reasons.

What is the maximum size of 3D stickers?
- Doming finishing is particularly suitable for smaller stickers up to approx. 100 cm². Up to this size, the 3D effect also comes into its own best. Of course, we also produce larger doming stickers upon request.
- Small fonts should be used in the print motif only up to max. 2 mm to the edge, otherwise they will be slightly distorted by the curvature of the coating at this point!
- Domed lettering must be at least 5 mm wide.
What inks do we use?
We print exclusively in CMYK color mode. Slight color deviations may occur with Pantone® and HKS® special colors. Pantone® spot colors are converted according to Pantone ColorBridge®.
How must the print data be prepared?
- Recommended for the best possible print quality are vector-based data such as EPS, PDF, CDR or AI.
- All fonts must be converted to curves/paths.
- Of course, we also process common pixel formats such as JPG and TIF. The data should be created at original size with a resolution of 300 dpi.
- Allow 1mm tolerance for cutting and avoid narrow lines or fonts close to the sticker edge.
