Product type
In-mold labels are a type of label that is applied during the manufacturing process of plastic products. These labels are typically made from durable materials such as polypropylene or polyethylene, which allows them to withstand the conditions of the molding process. Once molded, the labels become an integral part of the product, providing a permanent decoration that is resistant to scratches, moisture, and UV light. They are commonly used in packaging applications, particularly for containers, bottles, and other plastic products.
| Material | Polypropylene or polyethylene |
| Adhesive type | No adhesive; integrated during molding |
| Print method | Flexographic or digital printing |
| Temperature resistance | Up to 120°C |
| Thickness range | 50 to 100 microns |
When selecting in-mold labels, buyers should consider the type of plastic being used in the molding process, as well as the specific application requirements such as exposure to moisture or UV light. It's important to specify the desired thickness, print quality, and any particular design features. Additionally, buyers should inquire about the manufacturer's capabilities regarding production quantities and lead times to ensure they meet their project deadlines.
