IN-MOULD LABELLING (IML)

Multiplas has extensive IML knowledge and capability with staff who have over 25 years’ experience in this area.

The option of IML brings many advantages for product and customer presentation. The container or lid can be covered with a design that is first printed onto a polypropylene film label shaped to fit the surface of the tub or lid. Clear areas can be left to allow product visibility if required. The label is inserted into the mould at the time the tub or lid is being made and becomes its outer surface. There is nothing to peel off or become detached and because there is only one material in use, there is no need for separation prior to recycling as there would be with, for example, a glued paper label.
