In-Mold Labeling
IML: Your brand builtYour brand on the packaging
Into the Packaging
Perfect fusion between design, functionality and durability.

In-Mold Labeling (IML) is a process in which the label is integrated directly into the container during molding, forming a single piece.
In-Mold Labeling (IML) integrates the label into the container during molding, creating a single piece without adhesives. The result: a premium finish, resistant and ready to stand out.

This removes additional adhesives and layers, offering a premium, durable finish. Ready to stand out in any market.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does IML represent an additional cost compared to a conventional label?

IML involves a different initial investment, but by eliminating labeling processes, reducing waste and improving durability, it can be more efficient in the medium term. In addition, its added value increases the perception of your product in the market.

Are there more finishes available besides those listed?

Yes. Depending on the design and application, special custom-made effects and finishes can be developed.

Does the IML require changes to my filling line or to existing molds?

Not in most cases, as IML containers are compatible with standard filling, sealing and packaging processes.

What if I need small print runs or pilot tests?

We can work with validation productions before scaling to larger volumes, facilitating design adjustments or market testing.

Does IML affect delivery times compared to other processes?

Not necessarily; by eliminating steps such as gluing labels, IML can even optimize production efficiency.
