IMD Key

IMD (In-Mold Decoration) keys are a premium surface treatment solution that integrates injection molding with decorative technology, widely used in high-demand applications such as electronic devices, home appliances, and automotive interiors. By placing a pre-printed decorative film inside the mold during injection, IMD keys create a seamless integration of patterns, colors, and functional markings with the plastic component, providing long-lasting aesthetic appeal and exceptional durability.

Product Features:

High Wear Resistance: IMD keys feature a design embedded within the inner layer of the film, with a protective wear-resistant coating on the surface. This structure prevents direct exposure of the pattern, reducing scratches and significantly extending product longevity.
Vibrant and Long-Lasting Colors: The printed layer is encapsulated beneath the film, avoiding direct contact with air or friction. This ensures that colors remain vivid and resistant to fading, preserving their brightness over years of use.
Complex Design Capability: The IMD process supports multi-color, gradient, and even 3D patterns, allowing for rich and customized designs that meet diverse brand requirements.
High Production Efficiency: With decoration completed during the injection molding process, IMD simplifies production workflows, minimizes the need for additional finishing steps, and reduces pollutant emissions, making it an environmentally friendly solution.
Superior Tactile Feel: The smooth surface with controlled hardness offers a refined texture, providing accurate tactile feedback along with a premium feel.
