How Fusion Graphics Technology Works For
You
Works
With Your Molds and Tooling
The Fusion Graphics system lets you add colorful, high definition in-mold
decorating to molded products without modifying your existing molds. So
you save time and money. If you currently insert labels into the mold
cavities manually, you may continue to do so with the Fusion Graphics
process. We also offer assistance in automating your process.

Automating
The Process
For high volume applications you can easily automate Fusion Graphics film
placement with robots. If you have robots in place we can assist you with
adding end of arm tooling to place the Fusion Graphics labels into your
molds quickly and easily. We also have strategic relationships with leading
robotics manufacturers, so we can help you find the most cost-effective
automation solution for your process.

Delivered
As Individual Labels Or On Rolls
Fusion Graphics will supply your images as individually cut shapes that
feed through a cassette, or in continuous rolls.

Compatible
With Virtually All Molding Materials
With the Fusion Graphics system there’s no need to carefully match
the material composition of the label to the molded material. We’ve
yet to find an incompatibility. Fusion Graphics sheets are proven in such
applications as: various polyolefins as well as ABS, polycarbonate, PVC,
PET, TPO, TPE, elastomers, vinyl, glass reinforced nylon and styrene.
It has also been molded into thermosetting polymers and into rubber during
vulcanization. And the image can be molded into non-rigid items because
the image will flex or stretch with the product.

Conforms
To product Shape & Texture
The graphic image in a Fusion Graphics application assumes the texture
and shape of the mold surface. The image actually molds around curves
and over steps to create a continuous graphic that enhances the quality
of the finished product. You can use the system in injection, gas assist,
structural foam, blow, compression, injection-compression and extrusion
applications, as well as some thermoforming and rotational molding applications.

Incredible
Durability And Fade Resistance
Fusion Graphics images actually fuse into the surface of a product during
molding and shrink with the product as it cools, without blistering, thus
becoming inseparable. This process plus the characteristics of the patented
Grafilm® material means the graphic image is highly fade-resistant
and virtually impervious to the effects of nature, dishwashers, autoclaves,
gamma radiation, rough handling, gasoline and other abuses. In customer
tests the Fusion Graphics system exceeded the performance of all other
in-mold and labeling alternatives.

Competitively
Priced
The cost of the Fusion Graphics system is competitive with pressure sensitive
labels, hot stamping, heat transfer and pad printing when the cost of
scrap is considered.

"Nine out of ten service calls for label
automation systems are a result of inferior quality labels. In my
experience, Fusion Graphics labels are the most reliable and have
the most consistent quality for molded parts. That’s why I
tell my customers, ‘If you buy your labels from Fusion Graphics
I know they’ll work flawlessly."
