Decorative Parts (IML / IMD)

In-mold labelling and decoration — finished surfaces straight from the mold

Logos, graphics and finishes that have to look perfect and survive years of handling — without a separate print or paint step.
With IML we form a printed film, trim it and place it in the mold, then injection-mold behind it; with IMD we feed a decorated foil into the mold and mold straight onto it — the graphic ends up sealed under a hard-coat layer.
Brilliant, scratch-proof surfaces — decoration built into the part, not stuck on.

  • IML: pre-formed printed film (PC / PMMA), insert-molded
  • IMD: decorated foil fed into the mold, molded in one shot
  • Graphic sealed under a hard-coat layer — scratch-resistant
  • No secondary printing or painting
  • In-house IML workshop: film forming, punching & positioning

How it works

IMD — in-mold decoration

We feed a decorated foil into the mold, clamp and vacuum-suction it into place, injection-mold behind it, then remove the finished part. The foil carries a PET carrier film, a hard-coat layer, the graphic and the resin — so the decoration ends up sealed under a tough top coat.

IML — in-mold labelling

We heat and soften a printed film (PC or PMMA), form it to the part shape by suction and trim it. The film goes into the mold, the mold closes, and we injection-mold behind it so film and resin bond as one — the part ejects with the decoration already on it.
