Whether you need hot stamping, digital printing, IMD and IML or more, Rosti has the facilities and expertise to provide turnkey solutions for your product needs.

Enhanced Aesthetics and Functionality

Surface finishing dramatically improves the visual appeal and tactile quality of plastic products and components. With an array of colour and texture options, Rosti can achieve your desired look and finish that aligns with your brand.

 Ease of Maintenance and Cleanliness

A polished surface is easier to clean and maintain, which is especially critical for products used in medical, food, and consumer goods industries. Surface finishes that resist stains and are simple to clean extend the lifespan of a product and are more visually appealing to end-users.

Introducing antimicrobial and antiviral additives into resins enables your product to reduce the risk of contamination, as well as providing a level of environmental protection which reduces the need for single use plastics or products.

Branding, Identification, and Compliance

Surface finishing enables you to introduce logos, branding, labelling or serial numbers directly onto the product, aiding in brand recognition. It also helps to meet industry standards and regulatory requirements, as many finishes are designed to comply with specific guidelines, essential for sectors like automotive, medical, and food industries.

Rosti offers a wide range of high-quality, in-house surface finishing processes for plastic injection molding. Our surface finishing options include multicolour tampo-printing on both flat and curved surfaces, glossy and metallic finishes, “soft touch” effects, metal printing, laser etching, and much more.

Integrating branding and labelling into the surface finishing process removes the need for additional processes and materials for labelling. Utilising this method of production makes your product easily recyclable by using a single material, helping you to achieve your sustainability objectives.

Streamlined Processes and Cost Reduction

Integrating surface finishing within the injection molding process eliminates the need for additional suppliers and logistics, streamlining the production process. This consolidation reduces lead times and minimises costs associated with transportation and handling, not to mention the associated energy and fuel consumption.

Choosing an injection molding partner with in-house surface finishing capabilities not only enhances the quality and appeal of your plastic products but also provides significant operational efficiencies and cost savings. This strategic advantage is vital for staying ahead in today’s fast-paced market, ensuring your products reach consumers faster and in impeccable condition.
