THE PROCESS
This
process is accomplished with robotics at Lomont Molding. Results
of this process; Part and film have now become one component. This
process provides a surface coating that is abrasion proof, scratch
resistant and permits a diversity of colors. It also will enable
two dimensional decoration and symbols on components with complex
shapes.
Finished parts
are completed in one operation. This method is very flexible in
its application and permits parts to be generated with specific
surface characteristics. There is a wide variety of ways of implementing
technically demanding, economically interesting and sensible applications
through in-mold graphics.
Because of its
flexibility [combination of plastic injection molded part and functional
film], in-mold graphics offers interesting solution options since
the surface of the plastic component is formed by the film in this
process.

RESULTS
Typical
applications for Insert mold decoration; medical and pharmaceutical
products, electronic devices, telecommunications equipment, computer
parts, appliance panels, automotive parts, and point of purchase
display components, plus many others.
Important benefits of insert mold decoration are the ability to
print complex graphics on irregular surfaces, high durability of
decoration due to second surface printing, numerous textures, finishing
and forming capabilities, including integral windows.
The secondary processes and operations are eliminated through the
use of in-mold graphics, along with allowing quality control prior
to molding. Make rapid graphic changes and produce different looking
parts from the same mold. There are a great many ways to implement
complicated applications with insert mold decoration.
This method is very flexible and permits parts to be produced with
many different surface characteristics. The need for other processes
such as hot stamping, thermal transfer, pad printing and etc. are
not needed.
You now have a completed part with decoration produced with one
operation. This process will lower your systems cost in many of
your applications. Back
