IMD&IML
In-mold decorating & In-mold labeling
In-mold decorating (IMD) or In-mold labeling (IML) is a process of decorating or labeling injection-molded plastic parts or components during the injection molding cycle. The label becomes an integral part of the final product, creating a fully decorated item at press.
In this process, a decorated film or pre-printed label is inserted in the open plastic injection mold and held in place via vacuum ports, electrostatic charge or another method. When the mold is closed, plastic resin is injected into the mold, encapsulating the label permanently within the finished part.
Uses of In-mold Decorating (IMD)
And In-mold Labeling (IML)
IMD
IMD is most commonly used on durable products with long life spans, such as appliances, automotive components, toys and medical devices. It is employed on thick-walled, lower-cavity injection mold machines. The label material varies, as does the thickness, in order to meet the durability requirements. These labels enhance the product aesthetically, communicate important safety information and represent the brand.
IML
IML is most commonly used on disposable consumer packaging on products with a short life span, such as food containers, cosmetic and personal care containers, and household product containers. It is employed in high-speed, thin-walled, multi-cavity injection mold machines. The labels typically are printed on polypropylene foils only a few tenths of a millimeter thick.
