A method of forming a unitary housing element of an apparatus and incorporating an antenna is incorporated into the unitary housing element. The method includes the steps of printing onto a first surface of a carrier film, using conductive ink, the antenna, inserting the carrier film into a mold, and forming the unitary housing element by injecting a molding material onto the mold, thereby incorporating the antenna into the unitary housing element.
