IMD AND IML: THE SUSTAINABLE, RECYCLABLE CHOICE

In-mold technologies used for the labeling and decoration of plastic products are a sustainable, recyclable alternative to other types of labels or decoration.

RECYCLABLE:

The substrate used for in-mold labeling (IML) and in-mold decorating (IMD) processes becomes a permanent part of the finished part or product, simplifying the automated sorting and washing that occurs at the recycling facility by eliminating the need for chemical removal of a paper or film label and adhesive. Instead, the in-mold label or decorative film is formed from the same or similar resin type as the finished part or product, allowing it to proceed through the recycling process to be reground into pellets that are suitable for use in future plastic manufacturing applications.

SUSTAINABLE:

In-mold technologies reduce the overall manufacturing carbon footprint required to decorate plastic parts by allowing processors to mold and decorate the product or part under one roof.

y Additional shipping and handling costs are eliminated because the product or part does not need to be shipped to another facility for labeling or decoration, which reduces employee labor, packaging material, transportation costs and vehicle emissions.

y Post-mold equipment, such as flame or plasma treaters, labeling machines, paint sprayers or drying ovens, are not needed, reducing additional capital investment costs and utility costs (no gas or electric required to operate the extra equipment).

y Chemical processes, such as painting, powder coating, chrome plating and adhesive application, are eliminated.

y The additional floor space and employee labor required to operate freestanding decorating and labeling equipment can be reallocated to other areas of the facility.

y Plastic parts or products decorated with IML/IMD are long-lasting, with superior weatherability, abrasion resistance, chemical resistance and durability. Since the in-mold label or decoration is a permanent part of the molded item and is durable enough to withstand the elements, brand identity is maintained throughout the life of the product or part and required identification or safety information cannot be removed or lost.

ABOUT THE IN-MOLD DECORATING ASSOCIATION

The In-Mold Decorating Association is an organization that includes molders, printers, material suppliers and equipment manufacturers who are committed to the development and growth of in-mold decorated products, technologies and markets.

IMDA enhances and supports your business by raising the level of awareness and acceptance of in-mold decorated durable products and in-mold labeled packaging by OEMs, brand owners and marketers. IMDA serves your business by integrating the interests of the entire IML and IMD supply chain through its promotional and educational programs.
