IML Mold

The IML (In-Mold Labeling) Mold is a specialized injection mold designed to integrate labeling directly into the molding process, creating a seamless combination of label and product. Built with precision components and tailored to support automated systems, the mold allows for the efficient placement of pre-printed labels inside the mold cavity before plastic injection. The result is a finished product with a clean, durable, and visually appealing label bonded to its surface.

Application:
IML Molds are widely used in the production of packaging containers, such as food tubs, lids, buckets, and household storage items. This technology is especially popular in industries where product presentation, branding, and durability are important, including food packaging, cosmetics, chemical containers, and personal care products. The process is compatible with various plastic materials like PP and PS, and is suited for use with high-speed injection molding machines and robotic label placement systems.

Advantages:
The IML Mold offers several operational and branding advantages. First, it eliminates the need for secondary labeling or printing steps, saving time and reducing handling costs. The finished product has a scratch-resistant, moisture-proof label that does not peel or fade easily. Label alignment and positioning are highly accurate, enhancing brand consistency and visual appeal.

From a production standpoint, IML Molds are engineered to support fast cycle times, stable product quality, and integration with automated IML systems. The mold can be customized for different label shapes, product sizes, and multi-cavity configurations to meet varying production demands.
