2026- New Mold Ideas (5 Viewers)

What I would love to see is a hybrid mold (with sticker recess), but with the option to be full face printed like the no mold/card molds.
What are your thoughts on that?

As far as I'm aware the hybrids do have marks from the ejector pins where later the stickers are placed. At least on one side of the chip.
So taking the same molds will not work for printing on the sticker area
The molds would have to be manufactured differently so that the sticker area doesn't have any ejector marks.
Remanufacturing the "old" molds just for this purpose is not really worth it. However one could think about that if a complete new mold is manufactured.

They do have injection marks under the label.
