Abstract
An in-mold decoration fabrication of injection molding is provided as follows. First, a plastic substrate is provided and a mask is disposed on the plastic substrate. A patterned metal film is formed on a surface of the plastic substrate without covering the mask. After the mask is removed, an ink pattern is formed selectively on the patterned metal film. Then, a plurality of forming units on the plastic substrate are preformed and separated to each other by trimming the plastic substrate. Finally, a step of resin injection is provided to cover the patterned metal film, ink pattern of each of the forming units and the exposed surface thereof.
