In Mould Label Films: Benefits and Applications
In Mould Labels (IML) are pre-printed Polypropylene labels, which takes the shape of the container post being directly injected into a mould. This process results in uniting the label and the mould together. There are three processes for moulding In Mould Labels, and the most widely used process is discussed below Inject Moulding IML- As the name suggests, it is a process where heated molten plastic is injected into the mould, which after cooling down takes the shape of the mould or container. In layman terms, it can be said that the decoration of the product takes place in the mould itself. The plastic polymers automatically fuse with the mould, making itself a part of the product container. In Mould Labelling is a miraculous technology that enables design flexibility and productivity advantages over traditional post-moulding labelling. The use of multiple colors, effects, and textures in a single operation makes it a highly versatile labelling option. Let us see some of the benefits provided by In Mould Labels. l Time and Cost Saviour- IML technique reduces one step as the printed label is directly moulded with the container. This saves a lot of time as a manufacturer. Another added merit is that this process wastes less amount of raw material, thus
