What is In Mold Labeling ( IML) ?

In-mold labeling is a pre-decorating technique used worldwide for blow molded bottles as well as injection molded and thermoformed containers or other plastic objects. Pre-decoration is the application of a label to a container before it is filled with product.

Labels for injection molded IML do not require an adhesive on the back side. The IML process eliminates the labeling step and all associated equipment and labor.

In the in-mold labeling process, a label or applique is placed in the open mold and held in the desired position by vacuum ports, electrostatic attraction or other appropriate means. The mold closes and molten plastic resin is extruded or injected into the mold where it conforms to the shape of the object.

Why is in mold labeling is so popular?

Because In mold labeled containers offer these advantages:

1.Lower costs than other pre-decorating methods.
2.No extra labeling step or equipment.
3.In-case product filling and capping.
4.Increased packaging line speeds.
5.Reduces in-house container inventory.
6.Reduced container weight.
7.Improved appearance.
8.Better stain resistance.
9.Improved sidewall strength.
10.Better squeeze resistance.
