Abstract: An injection molded article having an integral thermoplastic skin, and a method for making such an article. The article includes an injection molded substrate and a thermoplastic skin integrally bonded to the substrate during the injection molding process. The process includes the steps of opening the mold; placing the thermoplastic skin in the mold: closing the mold; injection molding the plastic substrate at a temperature, pressure, and fill rate that avoids thermal or mechanical damage to the skin; opening the mold; and removing the article from the mold. In a first refinement, the mold is pressurized prior to injection molding to force the skin into conformance with the mold. In a second refinement, the marginal edge of the skin is sandwiched between the mold halves so that the marginal edge remains free of the plastic substrate.
