Film Insert Molding

Product information

InMold labeling (IML) and film insert molding (FIM) are processes for decorating and functionalizing plastic components directly in the injection molding process. Pre-printed films or multi-layer inserts are automatically inserted into the mold, back-injected, and firmly bonded to the component.

FIM: Processing of three-dimensionally preformed film inserts – for complex 3D components with undercuts

On request, a ColorForm PUR coating can be added to the surface – for a brilliant appearance and lasting protection against scratches, chemicals, and weathering.
