In Mold Labeling (IML) is a technology that embeds labels into the surface of plastic products during injection molding or blow molding processes. Compared to traditional stickers, it has significant advantages in multiple aspects:
1. Appearance and texture
Integrated molding: The in film labeling technology perfectly integrates the label with the surface of the plastic product, forming an integrated structure with a smoother and more even appearance. There are no traditional issues such as edge curling or wrinkling of stickers, which enhances the overall beauty and delicacy of the product.
Color and pattern expression: It can present more vivid and realistic colors and clear patterns, with good glossiness and three-dimensional sense, enhancing visual effects and helping to attract consumers’ attention.
2. Durability
Strong wear resistance: As the label is embedded inside the plastic and protected by the plastic layer, it is not easily damaged by friction or scratching, and can maintain the integrity of the label even during frequent use or transportation.
Chemical corrosion resistance: It has good resistance to various chemical substances such as acids, bases, solvents, etc., and will not fade or peel off due to contact with chemical substances. It is suitable for various harsh environments.
3. Environmental protection and hygiene
Environmentally friendly materials: Labels are usually made of environmentally friendly materials that meet environmental requirements, are recyclable and reusable, and reduce pollution to the environment.
Health and safety: In industries such as food and medicine that require high hygiene standards, membrane labeling technology can avoid direct contact between labels and products, prevent ink, glue, and other substances on labels from contaminating products, and ensure the health and safety of consumers.
4. Production efficiency and cost
Efficient production: The film pasting process is synchronized with the injection molding or blow molding process, reducing the subsequent labeling process, improving production efficiency, and reducing labor costs.
Reduce overall costs: Although the initial cost of film pasting may be relatively high, in the long run, due to its strong durability, it reduces the cost of label replacement and maintenance, and the overall cost may be lower.
5. Anti counterfeiting and brand protection
Difficult to imitate: The production process of the label inside the film is relatively complex and difficult to imitate, which can effectively prevent the occurrence of counterfeit and inferior products, protect brand image and consumer rights.
Enhance brand recognition: Unique appearance and texture help to enhance the brand recognition of products, making the brand stand out in market competition.
