IML labeling, also known as in-mold labeling, has greatly improved the level of product customization for plastic merchants. Because it can produce extremely high-resolution patterns into IML labels and then inject them into plastic products, it can also form a seamless and beautiful appearance, which greatly improves the product's appeal.
With IML labels, the label is inserted into the mold cavity before the plastic material is injected. As the molten polymer cools and solidifies, it forms a permanent bond with the label surface and the effect is strong.
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.

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"?
The term "in mold labeling" is directly derived from the technique: a preprinted polypropylene (PP) label is placed in a mold.Then the molten PP is added to the mold. It fuses with the label, and while curing, takes the shape of the mold. Effect: label and injection product become one.
