IN-MOLD DECORATING (IMD)
In-Mold Decorating provides original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and molders an alternative method for decorating plastic parts. With IMD, graphics are printed on a film, using one or a hybrid of several printing processes, which is then inserted into a mold cavity. A compatible resin is then injection molded behind or over the decorated appliqué film, permanently embedding it into a molded part. The result is a highly durable, eye-catching part that provides a great user experience for human-machine-interface (HMI) applications. We create IMD solutions for customers in the automotive, appliances, and medical industries.
