Industry Background:

How do you make your products that appeal to the senses? Consumers are demanding aesthetic appeal as well as functional attributes. How do you turn a utility product into a desirable item?
Plastics offer many new design opportunities, because of their ease of processing and decorating. Special effects can be incorporated and extravagant shapes created so that even the most mundane of items can become a work of art.
In-Mold-Decoration (IMD) is a widely diversified technology concerned with the decoration of parts. It can provide several important advantages over other decoration methods: design flexibility, decorative durability, function integration and cost reduction, which offer benefits for both processors and OEMs.
This international conference will bring together designers, OEMs, molders and suppliers to discuss plastics design, decorative methods, manufacturing process, etc.
