In-mold labels (IML) represent the most efficient and sustainable labeling process to date. Aspasie masters the art of tattooing brands.
What is IML?
IML is the most efficient and sustainable labelling process to date: a molding technique during which the label and plastic bond together to form one piece, resulting in high quality, indelible and decorative packaging.
The technology allows the use of 4 color process images images at a low cost.
All the advantages
IML enhances product appearance and quality. It is the most sustainable labeling method.
IML saves costs. It enables faster label changeovers since all secondary labeling operations are eliminated, including equipment, labour, utilities and floor space. It eliminates transport needs for a second operation (label application). It also reduces scrap rate to near zero from faulty application or detachment.
IML saves plastic usage since wall thickness is reduced in the label area. It eliminates the use of glue since the label is chemically and mechanically fused to the plastic. Plastic is directly recyclable with no previous process of unsticking the label.
IML increases overall productivity and efficiency of the labeling process.
Ultimate key to success
What is the ultimate key to IML success?
Label quality.
Since label quality remains the major key to success in IML, Aspasie is strategically positioned in the run as it masters the art of producing and printing the highest quality images at the most competitive prices.
A few advantages
Label area opportunities are much greater with IML compared to other processes. Visual advantages lead to market advantages, which lead to increased market share.
Reduction in overall application costs is at least 50% compared to Pressure Sensitive.
IML has better resistance to abrasion, chemicals and wash cycles than alternative methods of labelling.
IML is much more difficult to counterfeit than traditional labeling methods.
