| IMD (In-Mold Decoration, or Film Insert Molding) technology uses Decorated (Screen Printed), 3-D Formed,and Trimmed film material as the thin shell, then plastic is inserted into the back side of this thin shell by injection molding process to make the decorated components.
By this special process, it is very easy to make plastic components with complex curve, 3-dimentional shape with registered symbols, multi-colored decorations, as well as the light-transmitting design.
IMD process can take over many post-molding operations like heat-transter printing, screen printing,spray painting, laser-etching or electro-plating on the plastic injected components thus to save a lot of production cost.
It also gives unlimited decoration possibilities with precisely registered graphics on the plastic components.
Back-side printing decoration application makes IMD products scratch and chemical resistant to achieve the long lasting finishes. |
