TUFFLabels are durable, laminated labels designed for challenging environments.

A thick, high-performance laminate protects TUFFLabels from physical damage, making them resistant to scratching, bumps, peeling, and hardening. With built-in UV inhibitors, the laminate also prevents discoloration and cracking over time.

They are constructed with high-quality vinyl or polyester substrates, printed with UV-resistant inks, and protected by a robust laminate layer.

This construction provides excellent resistance to UV rays, chemicals, water, and abrasion, making them ideal for outdoor and industrial applications where durability is paramount.

TUFFLabels are known for their ability to withstand extreme temperatures, from as low as -40°F to as high as 300°F (-40°C to 150°C).

Examples of their use include equipment tags, warning labels, and asset identification.

DomeLabels (also known as "domed labels" or "3D labels") are also highly durable, but their unique characteristic is a clear, polyurethane dome that is permanently sealed over the printed label.

This dome provides enhanced protection and creates a glossy, three-dimensional appearance that can increase brand presence and appeal.

The polyurethane dome is flexible, abrasion resistant, and chemically inert, making DomeLabels suitable for both indoor and outdoor use.

Like TUFFLabels, DomeLabels offer excellent resistance to UV rays, chemicals, and extreme temperatures.

They are often used for branding on electronics, appliances, cases, and equipment where a premium, eye-catching aesthetic is desired.

Key Differences

• Appearance: DomeLabels have a distinct 3D, glossy, domed appearance due to the polyurethane layer, while TUFFLabels are flat and can have a textured or matte finish.
• Construction: The primary difference lies in the top layer. TUFFLabels utilize a laminate, while DomeLabels employ a thicker, cured polyurethane dome.
• Tactile Experience: The dome on DomeLabels provides a unique tactile experience, making them appealing to both sight and touch.

In essence, both TUFFLabels and DomeLabels are engineered for durability in challenging environments. The choice between them often depends on the desired aesthetic and specific application requirements. If a flat, durable label with excellent protection is needed, TUFFLabels are a good choice. If a premium, 3D, and eye-catching label is desired, DomeLabels provide an excellent solution.
