Injection Mold Codes
Pez dispenser stems will usually also be embossed with several injection mold codes . Some, like those found on the bottom of the dispenser feet, will tell which mold position the specific piece came from. Another, found on the side of the stem, indicates the country of origin. The IMC code 4 is followed by a superscripted second number which identifies a specific facility within that country.
| IMC | Country |

| 3 | Austria/Hungary |
| 4 | Austria |
| 5 | Yugoslavia/Slovenia |
| 6 | Hong Kong/China |

Famous quotes containing the words mold and/or codes:
“O, what a noble mind is here o’erthrown!
The courtier’s, soldier’s, scholar’s,eye, tongue, sword,
Th’ expectancy and rose of the fair state,
The glass of fashion and the mold of form,
Th’ observed of all observers, quite, quite down!”

Large codes of fraud and woe; not understood
By all, but which the wise, and great, and good
Interpret, or make felt, or deeply feel.”
