PRODUCTS > IN-MOLDIn-Mold labeling has many cost cutting and value-added benefits. IML takes a separate label and places it inside the mold prior to the injection or resin. This creates a label which is chemically and mechanically bonded to the plastic product.Added Value * Better Resistance to abrasion, chemicals, and wash cycles. * Chemically and mechanically becomes part of your end products. * Multiple print technologies can be used with flexibility to form shapes and surfaces. Lower Costs * Reduces overall application costs...50% less than pressure sensitive. * Reduces scrap rate from faulty application or detachment. * Eliminates secondary operations and labor also allowing multiple molds with one injection tool. In-Mold labeling needs more attention than a pressure sensitive label. The main ingredients to a successful in-mold process are: label provider; robotic system company; a static or vacuum company; and strategic planning before a trial. The strategic plan involves choosing a proper label construction and a strong team (label provider & robotic company) to ensure success. EG has partnered with many companies across the country in order to help our customer's receive all the benefits of their in-mold process.
