I question the use of Injection Molded as a tag. If people find "Painted Labels" or "Paper Labels" useful, we can debate that.
And how do you explain, in a form with radio buttons, how to identify an injection molded product? "Single-sided" is obvious. "Injection molded" is not. Describing the appearance of the labels (Silver, Painted, Glued, Paper, whatever) might be.
Injection moulding (or molding for the Americans) is a manufacturing process distinct from vinyl pressing and should therefore be granted a dedicated Format tag. This will also help to adequately flag the releases, now using the FTF with various descriptions (silver labels, injection...
Injection molded relates to the process. If you want to distinguish based on visible features, create a tag describing the physical appearance of the labels, not a process used to create the records with those labels.

It is my understanding that injection molding is generally done with polystyrene. If "Injection Molded" is introduced as a tag, you will have some (most?) people saying "I don't know how it was made." Others will use the tag without understanding that multiple molding processes are used to...
Just read about the whole injection molding process. That's quite interesting. Thanks a ton for the heads up on it, dead_parrot!!
Are there any plants in the world that still manufacture records where they are able to create injection-molded center labels instead of paper?
