What is IMR
IMR(In-mold Decoration by Roller), is a technology that prints decorative patterns and functional patterns on a film through a high-precision printing machine, and sends the film into a dedicated molding mold through a high-precision film feeding device for precise registering or positioning. After that, the patterns on the film will be transferred to the surface of plastic product through high temperature and high pressure of the injected plastic raw material. It is a technology that can achieve the integrated molding of decorative patterns and plastic material.
IMR Technological Advantages

Eco-friendly processing
Eco-friendly processing
Using automatic printing and eco-friendly ink, it meets environmental requirements.
-
3D relief texture
3D relief texture
Good decoration effect, which can combine multiple processes to enhance the three-dimensional texture of the pattern.
-
High adaptability
High adaptability
Injection molded products have the advantage of low deformation, especially for slender and thin wall workpieces. After molding, there is no need for molding and post processing, and it can also ensure no deformation, which can meet the requirements of 3D complex shapes
