In-mold labels are constructed of filmic material, able to withstand the heat from the molding process. It is a labelling technique that is used in blow molded, injection molded and thermoformed containers. In the labelling process the label is placed in the mold and held in place by vacuum or other means. The mold is then closed and the molten plastic resin is poured or injected into the mould. The heat from the hot resin activates the adhesive, causing the label to adhere to the container compared to glue applied or pressure sensitive labels that appears above the surface of the container.In-mold labels are constructed of filmic material, able to withstand the heat from the molding process. In-mold labeling eliminates the need for a separate labeling process, which saves the cost of additional labelling equipment and additional labor to run it. In-mold labels are water, grease, weather and scuff resistant. The label appears as part of container and has great shelf appeal. They are used for labeling health and personal care products, toys, motor oil, beverages, chemicals and cleaning products.
