IN-MOLD IS THE IN TECHNOLOGY FOR MOLDERS & MOLDMAKERS
First-ever Conference that Covers Everything In-Mold Mold Manufacturers and Molders Need to Know!
Amsterdam, the Netherlands: For more than two decades AWA Alexander Watson Associates has been the leading source for In-Mold Labeling (IML) and In-Mold Decorating (IMD) – keeping you In-touch and Informed about the exciting world of In-mold technology through IMLCON, IMDCON and now IMECON.
Keeping pace with this growing technology is critical to the success of mold manufacturers and molders that serve a range of industries that benefit from the innovative use of in-mold technology. In-mold technology is in demand from the consumer packaging industry, automotive, recreational, lawn and garden equipment and many more. Mold manufacturers and molders need to know:
- IML is more than just a label – it can be the brand owner’s interactive communication with consumers;
- IML is the differentiator that makes one brand stand out from the crowded shelf space;
- IML represents “green” innovation to meet consumer requirements.
- IMD is more than just a decoration
- IMD is a permanent safety decal or instruction label required by regulatory agencies
- IMD provides everything from beautiful, decorative brand-recognition colors and unique features, while providing cost savings to the OEM through such leading technologies as Film Insert Molding used for exterior parts in the automotive, recreational and off-road vehicle and motorcycle components, appliance fascias, and much more.
In addition to IML and IMD, for the first time AWA is presenting sessions on IME – In-Mold Electronics – the latest technology to evolve that reduces the need for secondary operations allowing the installation of electronics to become an inherent part of the injection molded plastic component. For products that require electronics in the components, IME has become the next big thing in in-mold technology.
Mold manufacturers are the front line for successful in-mold technology. The mold must be designed from the get-go for in-mold technology. Collaborative efforts with the molding machine supplier and the automation supplier/integrator and especially with the molder are a must when helping your OEM customers successfully implement IML, IMD or IME.
When OEM customers approach you with an IML, IMD or IME requirement will you be ready to help them implement this innovative molding technology? If you’re not sure then you need to attend AWA’s NEW and exciting – and the ONLY – three-in-one conference that gives you all the innovative ideas, solutions and information you need in an interactive environment of networking and education.
You will meet and network with corporate CEOs and Managing Directors; Vice Presidents, Product Developers, Marketing Directors, Engineers and more.
