Film Insert Molding
For individual, functional surfaces
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.
