Product description
In the field of food packaging, In Mold Label (IML) technology has become the preferred solution for packaging yogurt cups, dairy products, and pet food due to its high efficiency, environmental friendliness, and high aesthetic value. As an innovative process that synchronizes the formation of labels and containers, IML seamlessly integrates pre printed labels into PP, PE, or PET containers by embedding them directly into injection molds, achieving the integration of labels and packaging. This completely solves the problems of traditional labels being prone to detachment and curling, providing brands with packaging options that combine functionality and aesthetic value.
Label for Yogurt Cup: IML technology has demonstrated significant advantages in meeting the packaging needs of yogurt cups. The label is perfectly attached to the PP or PET cup during the injection molding process, with a smooth and seamless surface, effectively preventing damage to the label caused by liquid infiltration, while also withstanding refrigeration environments. High precision printing technology supports the delicate presentation of full-color patterns and brand logos, helping yogurt products stand out on shelves. In addition, IML labels do not require additional adhesive and are 100% compliant with food grade safety standards, providing consumers with peace of mind.

Possible reasons for IML label wrinkles during injection molding.
Analysis from the label:
1) The label punching size does not match the mold. If the label size is larger than the mold size, the label itself will have wrinkles when placed in the mold.
2) The label thickness is not enough. If the label is not thick enough, it is easy to wrinkle. Generally used for large products such as barrels, desktops, cabinets, etc., the recommended thickness is greater than 70 microns.
3) The label is not hard enough. Or the density of the material inside the film is not enough. Insufficient hardness or density of the label causes the label itself to be weak and prone to wrinkles.
4) The label and mold are not perfectly combined during the injection molding process. The label was not placed in the correct position causing wrinkles during the injection molding process.
Analysis from the injection molding process:
1) Improper temperature. If the temperature during the injection molding process is inappropriate, such as too high or too low, it will cause the label to wrinkle during the injection molding process.
2) Uneven pressure. If the pressure distribution of the injection molding machine is uneven, it will cause uneven pressure during label injection and produce wrinkles.
3) Injection molding process problems. The setting of injection molding process parameters will also affect the quality of label injection molding. If the injection speed is too fast or too slow, the pressure and temperature of the injection molding machine are inappropriate, etc., wrinkles may occur.

FAQ
1. What is IML technology?
IML (In Mold Label) is a process of embedding pre printed film labels into injection molds and integrating them with plastic products. The seamless combination of labels and product surfaces creates a wear-resistant, waterproof, and aesthetically pleasing decorative effect.
2. What is the thickness of IML?
18-100+microns, available in ordinary label and composite label
3.what can you buy from us?
heat transfer film,hot stamping foil,in mold label,silicone rubber roller,rubber roller
4.What plastic materials are IML labels suitable for?
1.PP (polypropylene): resistant to high temperatures (up to 120 ° C), suitable for hot filled foods (e.g. sauces, ready to eat meal boxes).
2.PET (polyester): high transparency and hardness, commonly used in beverage bottles and snack cans.
3.PE (polyethylene): With excellent flexibility, it is suitable for flexible packaging (such as jelly bags and sauce bags).
The label and container must be made of the same material (such as PP label+PP cup body) to ensure fusion and recyclability.
5. How durable are IML labels?
Wear resistance: The surface hardness can reach 3H or more, and the scratch resistance is excellent.
Weather resistance: Suitable for high temperature, low temperature, chemical corrosion and other environments.
Waterproof: The label is tightly integrated with the plastic, without gaps, to prevent moisture from entering.
