Versatile & Durable Product Graphics

This exciting concept in name identification puts the industry's most unique production process at your disposal.

      

Give us virtually any screen printable design. Specify any combination of colors. If you want, include embossed foils for extra stand-out depth. Then, when we've completed the screen printing process, we contain the entire design in a crystal-clear lens of poured polyurethane.

The result? You get the feel of a slick, contoured surface that won't scar or scuff...and looks like a liquid jewel!

Benefits of Domed Urocals:

• Urethane poured parts have a
  smooth, glossy, high profile
 
appearance with exceptional depth.
• Extremely durable — Urocals
  will withstand scratches and impact
 
dents and return to original form
  within a short time.
• Ideal for exterior and interior
  applications.
• Provides UV stabilization for
  fade-free screen printed inks.
• Cost-effective process that
 
provides a nameplate with dimension.
• Cosmetically enhances any company or product logo.
• Can be poured to follow irregular shapes in
 
addition to circular and rectangular shapes.
