In-mold decorating is a process for producing in-mold labels and graphics within a plastic enclosure. This in-mold labeling process usually takes place during the plastic injection molding cycle. In-mold decorating takes place when a preprinted label or decorated piece of labeling plastic is inserted in the open plastic injection mold and held in place via vacuum ports, electrostatic charge or another method. The plastic injection mold is then sealed, and plastic resin is then injected to mold the part, which encapsulates the decoration, or label, permanently within the finished injection molded part.

Plastic Overmolding is the injection molding process where one material (usually a TPE) is molded onto a second material (typically a rigid plastic) by using heat and pressure along with liquid silicone. If properly selected, the TPE overmolding design will form a strong bond with the plastic that is maintained in the end-use environment. The use of primers or adhesives is no longer required to achieve an optimum bond between the two materials.
