Explaining the difference between transfer embellishment and integrated label molding! Key points for choosing the optimal method.
Which one should I choose? Experts clearly explain the criteria for deciding between transfer decoration and label-integrated molding.
The in-mold decoration method is broadly divided into two types: "in-mold labeling (integrated molding with a label that leaves a film on the molded product)" and "in-mold transfer decoration (integrated molding that transfers only the thin film transfer layer to the resin)." If the characteristics and suitability of each are not correctly understood, there is a risk of quality issues or cost overruns after transitioning to mass production. In-mold labeling is a method that leaves a thick film on the molded product, excelling in wear resistance and decoration precision. In-mold transfer decoration is a method that transfers only the thin film transfer layer to the resin, resulting in no film residue and superior surface quality and optical properties. Yoshida Techno Works handles both methods in-house and proposes the optimal method based on part shape, production quantity, quality requirements, and cost targets.
