Domed labels-printed or embossed labels encapsulated in a thick resin coating-are becoming increasingly popular, thanks to their trim, high-quality appearance. Traditionally associated with high-end consumer goods, they are becoming common in medical devices, home appliances and cars, as well as industrial equipment and promotional items.

When it first began manufacturing the labels, Steven Label (Santa Fe Springs, CA) contracted out its doming operations. But as demand grew, the company decided to take the job on itself in order to ensure both quality and predictability.
