In-mold decoration (IMD)

In-mold Decoration (IMD): How It Works, Process, Benefits, and Applications

In-mold decoration (IMD) is an advanced manufacturing process that combines decoration and molding into a single, efficient step. Instead of applying graphics after molding, IMD integrates the decoration directly into the plastic part during molding. As a result, manufacturers achieve durable, high-quality, and visually appealing components. Today, industries increasingly adopt in-mold decoration (IMD) because it […]
