What is In Mould Labelling (IML)? 

With In Mould Labelling, a pre-printed label is fused with the plastic packaging during the injection moulding process. The pre-printed label is made of the same material as the plastic packaging (polypropylene) and has the same shape as the final product, for example the shape of a salad tub. The pre-printed label is placed in a mould, and then the molten PP is added to the mould. It fuses with the label and takes on the shape of the mould (in this case, the salad tub) during curing. The result is perfect: the label and packaging have been fused into one!

What are the benefits of IML? 

During the injection moulding process, an in-mould label becomes part of the product. This has the following advantages: 

Communication with customers 

The labels can be printed completely in your own design and house style. This way you can ensure that your customers know who they are buying from and what they are buying. Use the labels to communicate with your customers. 

High-quality printing 

In Mould Labels can be printed in very high resolution. The labels are scratch-resistant and can be applied to all sides of the plastic packaging. 

Environmentally friendly 

Both the plastic packaging and the plastic label are made of polypropylene (PP). This material is 100% recyclable and can be recycled through the regular plastic waste disposal system. 

Maximum hygiene 

Polypropylene (PP) is resistant to moisture and can withstand temperature fluctuations. This means that the in-mould label plastic packaging remains intact in both the freezer and microwave 

What is the minimum order quantity for IML? 

Because pack-store.co.uk is in direct contact with the manufacturer, it is possible to order relatively small quantities of plastic packaging with your own printing. Depending on the type of packaging, implementing your own design is already possible from 10,000 to 25,000 units (depending on the product).
