Summary:

Many plastic components need to have a surface finish applied before use. This can act as a decorative layer, a protective layer, to smooth out surface defects, or to alter surface properties (for example, to enhance adhesion). If this surface effect is applied during the moulding process, it can reduce time, space, material and machinery requirements. It also allows processors to supply complete systems, rather than just moulded components. In-mould decoration techniques include the in-mould application of film, in-mould priming, in-mould labelling and the injection of paints into the mould.
