3D labels, also known as doming labels, are printed labels that are finished with a transparent polyurethane layer after printing. This creates the characteristic lens-shaped surface with a three-dimensional depth effect.
The resin layer not only provides a high-quality appearance but also offers additional protection – depending on the design – against typical stresses such as abrasion, moisture, UV exposure and weather conditions.

The appearance and durability of a 3D label depend on the interaction of base material, print image, adhesive and resin layer. Depending on the application, factors such as appearance, adhesion, contour, substrate and environmental conditions play different roles.
| Material | Manufacturing process | Shapes | Mounting | Variable data | Delivery format |

Virtually any shape possible | Self-adhesive (wide range of adhesives for various applications) | Consecutive numbering, consecutive barcodes and variable labeling via digital printing | Single units, on strips, on sheets |
The domed resin layer gives the label a high-quality, three-dimensional look and visibly enhances colors and contours.
The smooth, slightly domed surface provides a distinctive feel and enhances the premium impression of the product.
The resin layer covers the print image and, depending on the application, can provide additional protection against typical influences such as abrasion or moisture.
3D labels can be produced in various contours, sizes, and designs – tailored to logos, brands, or product lines.
Depending on the material, adhesive, and construction, 3D labels can be designed for technical, decorative, or brand-related applications.

A 3D or doming label is a printed base label coated with a transparent polyurethane layer. This layer cures into a domed surface and gives the label its characteristic three-dimensional appearance.
3D labels are used when a marking is intended to be not only functional but also visually high-quality. Typical applications include logos, lettering, and symbols on machines, housings, vehicles, household appliances, or other products.
The PU layer is elastic and has a certain recovery capability. Minor surface indentations or fine marks can partially recover under certain conditions. However, deep scratches or cuts will not disappear completely.
Yes. Depending on the material, adhesive, and design, 3D labels are highly suitable for industrial environments. At Becher, we develop the ideal solution based on your specific substrate, the level of mechanical stress, and the operating environment.
Depending on the design, 3D labels adhere to various smooth substrates, such as metal, plastic, or painted surfaces. The suitable adhesive solution depends on the surface and the application.
3D labels are designed for durable and high-quality marking. Their resistance in a specific application depends, among other factors, on the material, substrate, level of stress, and environmental conditions.
Yes. At Becher Industrieschilder, we can generally integrate additional markings, such as sequential numbering or barcodes, into your 3D label design. Whether this is the ideal solution for your project depends on the specific application, the required legibility for scanners, and the desired visual effect.
