Benefits of IML

In-Mold Label

Integrating a label or decorated graphic during the molding process eliminates costly secondary steps such as pad printing, painting and label application.

IML technology is attractive for projects involving component/cost reduction, and for products such as control panels, displays, bezels, covers, housings, and all kinds of applications with decorating, instructional information, safety warnings, branding or UPC requirements.
