In-mold decoration (IMD) is an advanced manufacturing process that combines decoration and molding into a single, efficient step. Instead of applying graphics after molding, IMD integrates the decoration directly into the plastic part during molding. As a result, manufacturers achieve durable, high-quality, and visually appealing components. Today, industries increasingly adopt in-mold decoration (IMD) because it improves product reliability, enhances design freedom, and reduces production complexity. At Polar Printed Electronics, we use IMD to deliver robust decorative and functional solutions for … Continue reading “In-mold Decoration (IMD): How It Works, Process, Benefits, and Applications”
Material Selection in IMD Components Using Polycarbonate (PC) Film
Posted on January 27, 2026January 27, 2026Categories In Mold Decoration Leave a comment on Material Selection in IMD Components Using Polycarbonate (PC) FilmPolycarbonate (PC) film plays a central role in modern IMD components and printed electronics because it combines durability, clarity, and thermal stability in a single material. In IMD technology, the printed film becomes an integral part of the molded component. Therefore, selecting the right substrate, ink, and protective coating directly determines product performance, reliability, and visual quality. At Linepro Controls, engineers carefully select PC film, PET film, and advanced coatings to deliver long-lasting and high-performance IMD solutions. This blog explains … Continue reading “Material Selection in IMD Components Using Polycarbonate (PC) Film”
