Q6: Which printing and material specifications do you favor on IML labels?
A6: We have PP, synthetic IML-grade, and PET materials that can be used in varied conditions of injection molding.
The printing alternatives are UV printing, metallic effects, gloss/matte finishes and anti-scratch finishes.
Favourite, please inform us your moulding material (PP/ABS/HDPE) to suit the right one IML substrate.
Q7: What is the information required to make an accurate IML quote?
A7: To make sure that the costs are accurate, please provide:
- Material in container and molding temperature
- Required IML material (PP/PET)
- Thickness, size, shape, and outline of cutting
- Surface effect (matte, gloss, metallic, transparent, frosted)
- High heat resistance, antiscratch coating, food-contact material, etc
The obtained details enable us to make the right IML film and printing technique.
Q8: How many days do you have as your average lead time of IML orders?
A8:
- Standard IML labels: 5–8 days
- Metallic influences / artwork of high-resolution / special die-cut forms: 7–12 days
- Large-volume orders: 10–15 days
Depending on the complexity of printing and stocking of materials, the lead time can be varied.
Custom Tips
In order to obtain your IML labels to have the ultimate adhesion, durability, and appearance during injection molding, please find the following tips prior to placing your order:
1. Select the Right IML Material on Your Type of Resin
Material compatibility is necessary at IML.
To ensure the highest possible bond strength, align IML substrate to your molding resin (e.g. PP IML to PP containers).
This eliminates warping, bubbling, or delamination since the molding.
2. Check Your Temperament of Injection Molding
The layers of ink and the stability of the film may be influenced by high molding temperatures.
Please tell us what is your molding temperature range we will prepare the appropriate heat-resistant film and ink system.
3. Give Specific Requirements in Cutting and Positioning
The labels of IML should be precise in their shape to fit into the mold.
Please specify:
- Cutting outline
- Positioning tolerance
- Alignment marks
Accurate sizing is important so that the label will not wrinkle or get out of place when being injected.
4. Take into Account Surface Finish According to Use of the Product
There are matte, gloss, textured, transparent, metallic and anti-scratch finishes, and none of them acts the same way when molded.
Tell me what you want it to look like in the end and we can recommend the appropriate finishing.
5. Do Not Use Too Thin or Complicated Shapes
Injection pressure may cause IML labels that are too small, too thin, or too detailed to shift.
Outlines and corners are slightly rounded and the simplicity will enhance stability within the mold.
6. Tell Us Whether You Require Food Grade Labels or Chemical Resistant Labels
IML is normally applied in food containers, cosmetics and household chemicals.
Please specify if you need:
- Food-contact safe material
- Chemical-resistant coating
- Outdoor product ink that is UV resistant
7. Request a Sample Before Mass Production
A sample helps you verify color, thickness, stiffness, and compatibility with your molding machine.
This reduces adjustment time and ensures a smooth production run.
