Injection mold transfer technology

Sumitomo Plastics Machinery Co., Ltd. cooperated with Nitto and Chiyoda Corporation to develop an in-mold transfer printing technology. The advantage is that the pre-printed color pattern can be transferred and printed on plastic products at a time, avoiding multiple printings on the surface of the product. Bad effects. The method is to first print the pattern on the polyester film and then send it to the injection mold by a specially designed film feeding machine. After the injection molding, the previously printed pattern is attached to the surface of the plastic part. The greater the color of the printed pattern, the lower the cost of using such in-mold transfer printing technology. At present, this technology mainly uses mobile phone panels as its main products, Chiyoda Corporation is responsible for the manufacture of thin films, Nitto-Giltech Corporation has developed a die-sending machine, and Shuyou Plastic Machinery Company has developed this technology.
