In-mold decoration is commonly used in the automotive sector to achieve special effects (wood grain, brushed metal look, etc.) on interiors and exteriors. The dominant incumbent is laminated film in which the decorative effects are back printed behind the surface layer. Typically, these films are thermoformed off-line and placed in an injection or compression mold that is subsequently filled with molten substrate polymer.
