IML-Becher und andere IML-Verpackungen von Greiner Packaging

With in-mold labeling, the label is placed in the injection molding or thermoforming tool in which the product is shaped, therefore bonding it permanently to the finished product. This decoration method allows for efficient shaping and decorating in just a single step.

When it comes to sustainability, in-mold labeling stand out for a number of reasons: The label and product are ideally made from the same plastic, so they can be recycled together. If they need to be specially separated, „peelable labels“ can be used. Digital watermarks can also be integrated in the labels. These boost material detection in the sorting plant and can also display additional information when cash register systems are used. In the case of thermoformed plastic cups with in-mold labeling (T-IML), less material is needed, which has the added benefit of saving resources.
