In-mold Decoration Technology(IMD)

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

  • Integrated molding

    Integrated molding

    Integrated molding simplifies the manufacturing process, reduces production/storage costs and labor hours, shortens product manufacturing cycles, and improves production efficiency.

  • Stable & Durable

    Stable & Durable

    Various reliability tests are at the highest level in the industry, ensuring product stability and durability.

  • High rate of non-defective goods

    High rate of non-defective goods

    Highly automated production ensures stable production and high yield of quality products.

  • 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

  • Beautiful and wear-resistant

    Beautiful and wear-resistant

    Surface hardening treatment, with wear-resistant and aesthetic characteristics.

  • Good coverage

    Good coverage

    Plastic molding products have good coverage and ink adhesion

  • High added value

    High added value

    High cost performance, low comprehensive cost, and can be widely used in large quantities and high value-added products.
