Polyurethane Doming
With polyurethane doming your logo and graphics are sealed beneath our tough
plastic. The dome provides protection for the graphics - protection from
scratching and abrasion, dirt, and moisture. Your logo's good looks are
protected for the life of the product.
VisionMark domed nameplates and logos have become a popular alternative for many
product identification applications. These domed graphics add a distinctive
look to any product.
In addition, tough new polyurethane materials and improved manufacturing
processes have made domed graphics both durable and cost-effective.
VisionMark domed graphics can be found in many applications and markets
including electronics, fire apparatus, medical equipment, cabinetry, golf
clubs, marine, and automotive.

inks may fade as certain colors are particularly sensitive to UV radiation. In
addition there may be some evidence of "chalking" in the urethane.
