manufacturing Plastic Containers
In-Mould Labelling (IML) is an advanced technology of packaging that integrates labelling into the moulding process of plastic containers with no visible edge on its surface and it joins with the label to form a package that is seamless, long lasting and eye-catching.
IML is being used widely in different industries, especially food packaging, personal care products, household items, and cosmetics designs. This method enables high-quality graphics such as photographs, illustrations and 3D images to be directly printed on packages.The labels used in IML are heat-activated thus creating permanent bonds with the container’s surfaces so as to avoid problems like peeling, curling or blistering. Moreover, it can work well with any type of container shape including intricate designs.
IML rigid packaging offers exceptional design flexibility, enabling manufacturers to create durable, high-resolution graphics and custom logos that stand out on store shelves, making it a preferred choice for product differentiation.
The seamless integration of the label with the packaging material prevents peeling or cracking and acts a barrier thereby extending
the product's shelf life and appealing to consumers focused on food safety and quality.
It eliminates the need for additional labelling, printing, and adhesive costs.
It reduces waste by eliminating separate labels and promotes sustainability by making the entire package easier to recycle.
It combines labelling and moulding into a single step, which streamlines the process and boosts productivity while reducing costs.
It’s water resistance and resistance to temperature fluctuations, impact, and scratches, making it a reliable and permanent labelling option that can withstand various environmental conditions and potential abrasion or chemical exposure.
