Make the difference with IML
Want to take the appearance of your packaging to the next level? You can, with In Mould Labelling (IML). Packaging is produced and decorated in one step. Labelling afterwards is no longer required. An IML label consists of the same material as the packaging - together 100% recyclable.
What exactly is IML?
The term 'In Mould Labelling' is derived from the technique: a preprinted label made of polypropylene (PP) is placed in the mould. The mould has the shape of the end product and we inject the molten PP into it. It fuses with the label and, while curing, takes the shape of the mould. The result: label and packaging become one. Cool, isn’t it?
The pluses of In Mould Labelling:
- Exclusive appearance with excellent print quality: Your product stands out because of the professional high-resolution printing. Photos and details are beautifully shown.
- Shorter production time and lower production costs: During the in mould labelling process packaging is produced and decorated in a single step. No more need to store blank packaging, nor to apply labels afterwards.
