Types of Standard IML Containers from Honokage

In-Mould Labelling (IML), referred to as IML, involves placing pre-printed labels or decorations into a mold before injecting plastic, fusing the label with the product during the molding process.

IML containers are security and protected from anti-counterfeiting, as the label cannot peeled off.

No secondary processing is required, it can be produced in large quantities, achieves fast delivery, saves inventory space between molding and decoration, and is cost-effective.

IML containers are mainly used in the dairy and food industries, but with the development of technology, pet food storage containers or paint buckets are gradually starting to use IML storage containers.

1. The difference between IML containers and traditional containers:

IML (In-Mold Labeling) containers and traditional containers differ primarily in their labeling process and durability of the label.

IML containers have their labels applied during the molding process. A pre-printed label is placed in the mold, and then the molten plastic is injected into the mold, bonding the label directly to the container. This results in a seamless, durable, and scratch-resistant label that is an integral part of the container. IML containers often have high-quality graphics and a more aesthetically pleasing appearance compared to traditional containers.

On the other hand, traditional containers typically have labels applied after the molding process. Labels are usually adhered to the container's surface using adhesives. While traditional labeling methods are simpler and can accommodate various container shapes and sizes, the labels might be prone to wear and tear, peeling, or fading over time, especially when exposed to harsh conditions like moisture or frequent handling.

In summary, the main difference lies in how the labels are applied: IML containers integrate the label into the container during the molding process, offering durability and a seamless appearance, while traditional containers have labels applied externally, which may be less durable and more susceptible to damage.

2. Benifits of In Mould Labled Plastic Storage Containers:

In-Mold Labeled (IML) plastic storage containers offer several advantages:

Cost-effectiveness: IML technology reduces the need for additional labeling processes, streamlining production and potentially lowering overall costs.

Durability: The label is molded directly into the container, making it more resistant to wear and tear, ensuring the label stays intact even with repeated use or exposure to various conditions.

Sustainability and environmental friendliness: The integration of the label into the container eliminates the need for additional adhesive materials, making the packaging more recyclable and reducing environmental impact. In-Mold Labeling containers can be turned into plastic parts which are produced by recycled pp, because they are fully recyclable, which can help reduce carbon footprints and have a positive effect on the environment.

Lightweight: IML containers tend to be lighter than traditional labeled containers, which can be advantageous for transportation and handling while maintaining strength and durability.
