In-Mold Labeling method-injection molding
This process uses an injection molding machine and molds to injectheated and liquefied plastic or polymer into the mold.During the cooling process of the plastic,the labeling can be seamlessly integrated into the final product.Injection molding is widely used in the manufacture of plastic containers,butter or ice cream boxes,skin care product packaging,plastic paint buckets,etc

Blow molding is the second most common technology for in-molding labeling,especially for hollow plastic products.During the blow molding process,the manufacturer stretches or extrude the heated plastic block to fit the shape of the mold,ultimately producing a hollow plastic product with an in-mold label on the outer layer.This method is commonly used in the manufacture of liquid containers such as shampoo bottles,liquid soap containers,and ketchup and sauce containers.The schematic diagram is as follows:

Thermoforming is slightly different from injection molding and blow molding.In thermoforming,manufacturers use heated plastic sheets to form containers usingmolding tools.During the molding process,pre-printed labels are integrated into the plasticsheets to form a container with a label.The schematic diagram is as follows:
Our Technology-In-Mold Labeling
What is "In-Mold Labeling"?
In-Mold Labeling(IML) is a process in which a label(decorative film) pre-printed with a design or information is directly embedded in a mold during the manufacturing process,and then plastic is injected to from a complete packaging container.Unlike the traditional method of attaching a surface sticker after production,in-mold labeling allows the label to be integrated with the molten plastic on the surface of the container,making the color image of the label feel as if it is directly printed on the surface of the container,making the container beautiful,high-quality and durable.
Other Technologies
As containers for various beverages,our customers often require disposable cups with different characteristics according to different uses,usage environments and beverage types.Therefore,we have studied many technologies that can change product performance by improving production processes.For example:explosion-proof function,high temperature resistance,low temperature resistance,wear resistance,high transparency,etc.
Advantages of In-Mold Labeling
1.Enhance branding and highly customizable.
2.Reduce costs and improve efficiency.
3.Make the product more durable.
4.Excellent environmental performance.
IML provides high-quality images,pre-printed labels and full-color printed designs to ensure that products stand out on the shelf,making them more attractive and providing a competitive advantage in the market.In addition,labels provide design freedom,can be customized and mass-produced,making it convenient for customized products.
IML simplifies the process of labeling products,reduces production costs and saves time.The in-mold labeling system is integrated intothe injection molding process,reducing additional manual production steps,laborand material costs,etc.,improving production efficiency and ensuringconsistent high quality of products.
IML integrates labels with plastic products,making them resistant to peeling,crackin and fading.The products are durable even under challenging conditions such as moisture,temperature fluctuations or harsh environments.This durability ensures that the labels always maintain their appearance and functionality throughout the life of the product.
IML requires no adhesive and the container is fully recyclable,reducing environmental impact and making it eligible for post-consumer recycled(PCR) products.
