In-mould labelling (IML) is a technique for permanent product labelling and decoration that is used in thermoforming and injection moulding. Pre-printed films, such as our stripcal® IML, are inserted into the injection mould and bond with the liquid plastic during injection. This enables a single-stage manufacturing process.
IML offers a wide range of visual and tactile effects using different films, such as smooth, rough, matt or glossy. IML films enable high-resolution images on your products.
In addition to films, decals are also used as a product labelling or decoration solution in the in-mould process. Decals such as our impressal®-IM are particularly suitable for foaming processes and are resistant to mechanical stress.
