In-Mould Labelling is used whenever the aim is to make maximum use of the display area for injection moulded containers and where there are a large number of motifs for each product. Combining blank and label in one process during the injection moulding enables basic, lower cost labels to be utilised. Avery type of printing technology is available today to give the labels an “eco look” or create a gloss finish, dependent only upon the market positioning required.

Other benefits of IML
• This is a single material product made from polystyrene or polypropylene; label and cup are made from the same material which is fully recyclable and therefore has an excellent life cycle assessment
• Injection moulded containers meet the strictest requirements in terms of stability and high system performance levels for the filling process.
