Nippon Paint brand use iml in mold label sticker for plastic paint bucket injection
Nippon Paint uses IML (In-Mold Label) technology for their plastic paint buckets. The paper-like IML sticker is placed inside the injection mold. When molten plastic is injected, it fuses permanently with the label, creating a durable, high-quality, and scratch-resistant decorated bucket in a single, efficient step.

IML in mold label FAQ
Q:What are the influencing factors of the cut size of the IML in mold label and how to measure it correctly?
1) Mainly shrinkage.The label material and the shrinkage ratio of the injection molding machine will all affect the effect after injection molding. It is necessary to measure and test about the product material, label thickness and the shrinkage of the injection molding machine itself, and finally achieve the perfect effect, which can be completely seamless.
2) Make the correct cut size according to the product. It is best if the customer can provide product samples, and then we can make the cut size based on the samples.
Q:The reason why the IML label cannot be attached to the mold/Reasons for insufficient static electricity of IML labels:
1) There is no static electricity added to the label when it leaves the factory. It is equipped with an static charger/electrostatic generator to add static electricity.
2) The environment is humid and static electricity will run away during shipping. Equipped with an electrostatic device/static charger.
3) If you cannot add static electricity using an electrostatic generator, it may be related to the material of the label. Contact us to confirm the reason.
4) If it is manual injection molding, try using a wet rag and adding water.
5) If it is a robot, it may be caused by static electricity removal at the factory.
Q:The color of the IML label becomes darker after injection molding:
1) The base color of the product is too dark, you can use two layers of white when designing.
2) Thicken and deepen the white ink, or use high-concentration white.
Q:The label color is different from the design file:
1) The customer provides an electronic draft or sample label. After the customer confirms the color and size, the maximum difference between the produced label and the design file is 5%.
2) Determine some spot color numbers according to the Pantone color card.
First, we lay out the design drafts based on the original design files provided by the client. We generally support AI, PDF, PSD, or CDR file formats.
After the client confirms artwork, we will manufacture cylinders needed for production (Note: Cylinders need to be made for the first order of a new design). The IML label uses gravure printing technology and is generally made of CMYK + white for the cylinder.
After the cylinder is manufactured, we adjust the colors according to the customer's design drawings, and then start printing the IML labels.
This is a display of IML labels that have been cut to the customer's size after processes such as printing, drying, and lamination.
Once the IML labels are produced, we will send photos to the customer for inspection. If everything is no problem, we will package and arrange shipment.
This is a demonstration of the final result after the customer receives the IML label and it is injection mold onto the bucket. This completes the entire production process of a bucket.

1.Are you a manufacturer?
3.How can we guarantee quality?
Always a pre-production sample before mass production;Always final Inspection before shipment.
4.What is "IML"?
IML labels are a kind of decorative material that uses OPP/BOPP raw materials and prints customized design artwork on the raw materials through gravure printing technology. After the customer receives the IML label, when injecting the product, the label is placed in the film cavity of the product. Through injection molding, the label attached to the product is integrally formed, which has a good decorative effect.
