The in-mold decorating process can apply design elements to an injection molded plastic part during the molding process. In-mold decorating can add multi-color corporate logos, graphic images, text, or design patterns to a plastic part, resulting in sharp, clear and durable decorations that should last the life of the part. Designs can be produced in virtually any color to precisely match the customer's requirements. Developed for a customer in need of a large box to securely hold wall covering samples, the final product needed to be distinctive and impressive in design because of their target audience: Interior Designers, Architects, etc. "The client chose in-molding decorating because it was by far the best looking, although not the least expense method we showed them," stated Larry Maltsberger, ACM's Cost Coordinator. The in-mold decorating process can apply design elements to an injection molded plastic part during the molding process. A transfer film is carefully placed into the mold before injecting the plastic material. The single step process adds all the colors and design elements as the part is molded, eliminating additional steps or secondary operations. The manufacturer of the insert overlays for the in-mold decorating had not used this application on such a large scale, so, with assistance from ACM engineers, they combined processes used on other projects and applied a new variation to a bigger product than they had previously manufactured. "This new process gives us the ability to add intricate designs and decorations to a whole new range of larger size products," stated Maltsberger. "We are pleased to now be able to offer this new value-added service to our customers."
