Send a vector file — AI, EPS, CDR or a PDF with the type converted to curves. If all you have is the old label, photograph it flat with a scale next to it and we redraw it as vector art at no charge. What we need beyond the art is three things: the size across the widest point, the surface it sticks to, and whether it lives indoors or out.

• Vector art, or a flat photo we redraw
• Pantone numbers if the brand has them
• The product itself, if you can spare one

We draw the cutting line around your art and send back a proof with the dieline shown in a separate colour. Domed labels need 1.5 mm of clear margin inside the cut edge — the resin pulls back slightly as it levels, and art that runs to the edge ends up with the dome sitting on top of it. Nothing goes on a machine until you have signed that proof off.

• Dieline drawn over your art
• 1.5 mm safe margin inside the cut
• Colour proof on the actual stock

Solvent or UV, chosen by where the label ends up. Outdoor work goes on solvent for the pigment life; anything under a dome goes UV because it cures hard and the resin will not attack it. Metallised and clear stocks get a white ink underbase first, or the colours go transparent and the silver reads through everything.

• Solvent for outdoor pigment life
• UV under resin — it will not lift
• White underbase on clear and metallised

Kiss-cut on the plotter, so the label lifts off the liner and the backing sheet stays whole. Sheets are cut, not rolled, unless you are running them through an applicator — say so at quote stage and we finish on roll with the wind direction you need.

• Kiss-cut, liner left intact
• Sheet or roll, your call
• Corner radius to match the old part

This is the part nobody nearby does. Two-part polyurethane is mixed, degassed and poured by hand onto each label. It self-levels, runs to the die-cut edge and stops there by surface tension — that clean stopped edge is the whole trick. Pour too little and it pulls back at the corners; too much and it spills the edge and has to be scrapped.

• Two-part PU, mixed and degassed
• Poured by hand, one label at a time
• 1.2–2.0 mm depending on the size

Domed sheets go into a closed rack overnight. Nothing moves and nothing is opened, because a single fibre landing in wet resin is a scrapped label — you cannot pick it out once it has set. This is the stage that sets the lead time, and it is the one thing on the list nobody can rush.

• Closed rack, no air movement
• Overnight at workshop temperature
• The one stage that cannot be hurried

Every sheet is looked at under a lamp for bubbles, dust and short pours. We peel-test one label off the run onto the same surface you named at quote stage — powder-coated steel behaves nothing like polypropylene, and finding that out at your assembly line is too late.

• Bubble, dust and edge check under lamp
• One peel test onto your actual surface
• Count verified against the order

Interleaved, boxed and labelled with your part number so it goes straight to the line. Local deliveries around Ludhiana go on our own run. Outside Punjab it is transport or courier, and we send you the docket number the day it leaves.

• Interleaved so domes never touch
• Boxed under your part number
• Docket number the day it ships
