Custom In-Mold Label For Transparent Plastic Product Bottle IML

Q: What is "IML" ?

The in-mold labeling process combines the labeling operation with the blow molding or injection molding process, eliminating the need for the labeling process after the plastic product is formed. In the process of in-mold labeling, the previously printed and die-cut labels are stacked in single sheets and placed in the label box; as the mold is opened, the robot will pick up the labels one by one and place them in In the opened mold, the label printed side is facing inward, and the side coated with solid adhesive is facing out, and the label is firmly adsorbed on the mold wall by vacuum negative pressure or electrostatic adsorption; after the mold is closed, the molten plastic resin Entering the mold and forming, at this time the temperature in the entire mold is still relatively high, the solid adhesive close to the label of the prototype container begins to melt and integrate with the plastic container; when the mold is opened again, the plastic container is formed, the label and the The container is integrated and becomes part of the molded container.
