Material and Printing Process
IML labels are manufactured using OPP (oriented polypropylene) raw material, which offers excellent printability, chemical resistance, and thermal stability during injection molding. The labels are printed by gravure printing machines, ensuring high-definition graphics, vivid colors, and consistent repeatability. This combination of OPP film and gravure printing produces a durable, scratch‑resistant, and visually appealing label that can withstand high temperatures and pressures inside the mold cavity.
Injection Molding Applications
These IML labels are widely applied in the plastic injection molding industry. During the molding cycle, the label is placed into the mold cavity and fuses seamlessly with the molten plastic, becoming an integral part of the finished product. Typical applications include:
- Paint buckets – providing permanent branding and chemical‑resistant decoration.
- Plastic table tops – offering durable, easy‑to‑clean surfaces with attractive designs.
- Lunch boxes and cups – creating dishwasher‑safe, peel‑proof labels that remain vibrant through repeated use.
By eliminating post‑molding labeling steps, IML labels improve production efficiency and product quality across these injection‑molded items.
