IMD

In-Mold Decoration

In-Mold Decoration (IMD) is the most popular surface decoration technology in the world. A molding method in which a printed film is placed in a metal mold and the resin for molding is injected into the mold to bond with the film so that the printed film and the resin are combined into a finished product. The product has excellent appearance, good three-dimensionality, and strong wear resistance, and is widely used in automotive, home appliances, consumer electronics, medical electronics, and other fields.

PLASTIC
REVOLUTION

IMD technology refers to the surface material injection molding technology, which combines the traditional injection molding technology with post-processing technology, integrated molding. It breaks through the traditional plastic-case design limitations, can achieve a variety of design effects. It is also energy-saving and environmentally friendly, and has been described as a "plastic revolution".

Traditional plastic exterior processing

Traditional plastic exterior processing starts with injection molding, followed by printing, painting, plating and
other post-processing. However, due to the high defect rate of these post-processing processes, traditional
plastic exterior processing is severely limited, especially for parts with complex shapes.

ADVANTAGES OF IMD

IMD is a relatively new automated production process that simplifies production steps and reduces disassembly compared to traditional
processes, thus saving time and costs by enabling rapid production. As the most efficient method available, IMD/IML eliminates
secondary work procedures and plays an important role, especially when dealing with complex ones. This technology can even replace
many traditional exterior decoration methods such as heat transfer, painting, printing, plating, etc.

ADVANTAGES
OF IMD INCLUDE

  • Scratch-resistant

    IMD products are scratch
    -resistant, corrosion
    -resistant, and have a
    long service life;

  • Highly-durable

    Since the ink is in the middle
    of the film/sheet and injection
    molding, the printed graphics
    will not be damaged by
    friction or chemical action;

  • Cost-effective

    Graphics, logos and color
    designs can be changed at
    any time without changing
    molds

  • More selective

    A variety of graphics, colors
    and font designs are available
    to meet various customization
    needs
