What Resin is Best for Badges and Flexible Labels?

Why Flexible Doming Resin is Ideal

Badges and garment labels are often exposed to daily wear, friction, and frequent handling. For this reason, using a specialised resin like Be Flex transparent doming resin is highly recommended. Unlike standard rigid epoxy, Be Flex is a polyurethane-based resin designed to remain flexible even after curing. Its elasticity means it can bend or conform to curved surfaces without cracking or peeling, making it an excellent choice for labels and badges applied directly to clothing or accessories.

Benefits and Application Tips

• Scratch Resistance: This type of resin is formulated for durability, offering a self-healing surface that helps mask minor scuffs and marks.
• Clarity and UV Resistance: A transparent, glossy dome enhances the vibrancy of printed designs and offers resistance to yellowing from sunlight exposure.
• Bubble-Free Finish: Be Flex is engineered for easy application, reducing the risk of bubbles during curing and producing a clear, professional result.

For best results, apply your chosen resin in a dust-free environment and allow it to fully cure as per the manufacturer’s instructions. The included mixing sticks and gloves with Be Flex sets can simplify your workflow and help maintain a tidy setup.

When This Matters Most

If you’re producing badges or labels for sports apparel, outdoor gear, uniforms, or any use where flexibility and resilience are crucial, investing in a doming resin like Be Flex is especially important. It ensures that the end result is resistant to washing, handling, and the general stresses of daily use.
