What is IML label?
IML – in-mold labeling (IML labeling) is a pre-decorating technique used for blow molded bottles as well as injection molded and thermoformed containers or other plastic objects.
In-mold labeling (IML labeling) is very different from other labeling techniques because in-mold labels (IML labels) are ejected into the mold before the molds are closed; they are embedded into the wall of the container during the molding process.
What is In-mold label (IML label) film?
IML – in-mold labeling (IML labeling) film is a layer of paper or plastic that is used the in-mold labeling process. The in-mold labeling (IML labeling) film is placed inside the mold as the container itself is being formed.
Advantages of in-mold labels (IML labels)
● The material of the In-Mold labels (IML labels) and the container are similar. Recycling is easier, reducing the cost and improving the value of products.
● In-Mold labels (IML labels) improves the containers abrasion resistance, high temperature resistance.
● In-Mold labels (IML labels) can improve the barrier, water-proof, moisture-proof of containers.
● The conventional decorating labels for containers such as pressure-sensitive labels, shrinkage labels and self-adhesive label all have a next process.
The in-mold labels (IML labels) process eliminates the labeling step and all associated equipment and labor costs.
