IN Mold Decoration
Custom Plastic In-Mold Decorating (IMD)
In-mold decorating (IMD) is a process for decorating or labeling injection molded plastic parts or components during the plastic injection molding cycle.
In this process, a preprinted label or decorated appliqué film is inserted in the open plastic injection mold and held via vacuum ports, electrostatic charge, or other methods. The plastic injection mold is then closed, and the plastic resin injected to mold the part, encapsulating the decoration or label permanently within the finished injection molded part.
Advantages of IMD
FLEXIBLE DESIGN – The in-mold decorating (IMD) technology enables design flexibility and productivity advantages over traditional post-molding labeling and decorating technologies.
COST-EFFECTIVE – With IMD, labeling and decorating are complete in the injection molding process. No secondary operations are required, eliminating the cost of equipment, post-molding labor, and saving time.
STRENGTH AND DURABILITY – Resulting in high-quality and visually impressive graphics and finished parts. The graphics and labeling are durable and long-lasting. With suitable films and coatings, the in-mold decoration will not fade and remain vibrant for the life of the molded plastic part.
Engineering Success
For many years, MIIPL’s engineers have utilized metal-to-plastic part conversions to reduce cost, eliminate parts, decrease weight, and avoid the corrosion issues related to metal materials. In addition, shifting from metal to plastic can significantly impact mitigating the cost increase due to commodity and tariff fluctuations associated with metals. Because of this, MIIPL utilizes this same metal-to-plastic conversion strategy when decorating plastics.

Glass Printing
GLASS PRINTING
Glass printing is the capability to replicate any digital image onto glass permanently.
This means that you can easily customize a space where you can produce on the glass of a microwave or a washing machine an illustration, a texture imitation, geometric & abstract patterns, and even photography on a glass panel that can be easily installed.
Advantages of Glass Printing
Glass is a beautiful and highly versatile material of choice in most commercial and personal applications, glass printing has brought about immense benefits, particularly where transparency is desired.
Decades ago, printing on glass was next to impossible as the material itself was challenging to work with.
Of course, some glass printing techniques, such as silkscreen, were not the most effective and very time-consuming to make.
And then came the new glass printing technology that has made it not only extremely easy to print on glass but has also proven to be fast, reliable, and less time-consuming.
Engineering Success
We keep our process simple so that anyone can get creative and express their individuality in their projects. This (coupled with our values for innovation, collaboration, and excellence) helps us deliver the best glass printing.
MIIPL Expertise
MIIPL is committed to delighting customers by empowering them to bring to life their unique design vision through innovative glass technology.
Since conception, we have worked on projects ranging from microwaves and washing machines to commercial fit-outs.
Applications
One of the prevalent use of glass printing today is the making of highly colourful applications. Printing on the glass of microwave or washing machine is a highly unique method that can give a high quality and sleek look to the product.

Forming
Forming
Forming process, also known as Metal Forming, is a significant manufacturing process by which raw material is converted into a product. Various stresses like tension, compression, shear, etc., are applied to deform the raw material. In the forming process, no material is removed; it is completely displaced and deformed into the required shape.
Advantages of Forming
They are inherently tough and have an excellent strength
-
Optimum utilization of raw material
-
Thin sections can be produced without reducing the strength
-
It is possible to achieve close dimensional accuracy
-
It has high production rates
Engineering Success
In metal forming (cold or hot), localized compressive force is applied through a forming tool on the workpiece. This force generates high contact pressures at the workpiece/tool interface, and as a result, the workpiece is deformed to deliver a desired shape and surface of the product.
Examples of forming processes are sheet metal manufacturing, forging, rolling, extrusion, wire drawing, thread rolling, rotary swinging, etc.
MIIPL Expertise
MIIPL’s Engineers are keen to estimate the load and product quality in the metal forming process. MIIPL employs various modeling techniques for this purpose, for example, slab method, slip line field method, upper bound method, finite difference method, and finite element method.
Applications
