IML (In Mould Labelling) labels are most often made of white or transparent PP (polypropylene) with a thickness of 50 to 60 microns. Applications also exist using paper, PS, or PET materials. Using a robotic system, the label is placed directly into the mold used to form the plastic part—whether by injection, blow molding, or thermoforming.

During the molding process, the label fuses with the container itself—be it a tray, lid, or bucket—becoming an integral part of the packaging.

This technique eliminates the risk of peeling, scratching, or label damage.

IML labels also offer enhanced resistance to moisture and temperature changes, making them ideal for refrigerated, frozen, or high-humidity applications.

Why choose IML?

Unlike direct-to-container printing, IML offers significantly higher print quality. With various finishes and textures available (satin, gloss, orange peel effect, etc.), IML provides excellent customization and attractive design, with a wide range of labeling and decorative options.

As part of our eco-friendly approach, we use mono-material substrates with low-migration inks that comply with European regulations CE10/2011 and CE1935/2004—ensuring the safety and quality of packaging, especially for food applications.

  • Ice cream containers
