Custom Epoxy Dome Medals
Epoxy dome medals feature a clear resin coating applied over the enamel or printed surface. The dome creates a smooth, raised, glossy finish that protects the artwork and adds depth. These medals are a practical choice when durability and a polished look are priorities.
Benefits of Epoxy Dome Coating
The epoxy layer protects colors from scratches, moisture, and fading. It creates a lens effect that makes colors appear richer and deeper. Epoxy domes also smooth over slight surface imperfections, giving the medal a uniform, premium appearance.
When to Choose Epoxy Dome Medals
Epoxy dome medals are ideal for events where medals will be handled frequently, such as youth sports, charity runs, and corporate awards. They are also a good choice for printed medals or designs with fine detail that benefits from the magnifying effect of the dome.
Design Considerations
Epoxy domes work best on relatively flat surfaces. Deep recessed areas or very complex 3D shapes may not be suitable. Over time, epoxy can yellow with prolonged UV exposure, so outdoor events with long display periods may prefer a non-epoxy finish.
