In-Mould Labelling (IML)

In-mould labelling (IML) describes a fully automated process in which the pre-printed IML film label is placed in the mould before the container is created. The label seamlessly fuses to the hot plastic material while it’s being moulded, combining the production and labelling processes and eliminating the need for post-mould labelling.

After curing, the container and the label become single water- and scratch-resistant piece. This process is more efficient than other labelling methods, leading to less waste and resulting in a product that is both durable and easily recyclable / regrindable.

Advantages of In-Mould Labelling

  • Lower cost than other other labeling methods.
  • No extra labeling step or post labeling, just ‘fill & seal’.
  • High quality print up to 6 colours, better than off-set or self-adhesive label print.
  • Eco-Friendly, 100% recyclable material, no extra labor like the self-adhesive label; need to remove the label before recycling.
  • Higher packaging line speed.
  • Better appearance and durability.
  • Significant reduction in label defects by application.
  • Resistant to product staining.
  • Improvement of side wall strength of a container up to 120%.
  • The label becomes a part of plastic buckets/tubs, therefore it allows buckets/tubs to flex and be squeezed without label separation.
  • Best performance of labeling, because IML is a part of a container wall. It cannot be peeled off as a self-adhesive label can.
