Double-Sided IML
Double-Sided IML (In-Mold Labeling) is a technology that allows labels to be applied to both the interior and exterior surfaces during the plastic injection molding process. This method is used to provide information, visuals, or protection on both sides of the packaging.
1 - Interior and Exterior Surface Printing:
- Exterior Surface: Prints are applied for branding, logos, product information, and aesthetic design purposes.
- Interior Surface: Used to enrich the product's internal appearance, provide safety information, or offer a special coating (e.g., barrier layer).
2 - Application in the Same Production Process:
- Labels are placed into the mold and become part of the plastic during injection.
- This allows double-sided printing without the need for separate printing or labeling processes.
3 - Aesthetic and Functional Benefits:
- Aesthetic: Allows for impressive designs and information on both the interior and exterior of the packaging.
- Protection: Special coatings (e.g., barrier layers) can be used on the interior surface to protect the product from external factors.
- Information Presentation: Details such as user instructions, promotional information, or product contents can be placed on the interior surface.
Applications
- Food Packaging: Used for designs that are suitable for contact with the product's interior.
- Cosmetic Products: Decorative designs or additional information are provided on the interior surface.
- Industrial Packaging: Interior layers can be created to provide chemical resistance and product protection.
Double Sided Design
Independent designs can be created on both sides of the packaging.
High Resistance
The prints are resistant to abrasion, scratching, and peeling.
High Efficiency
Simultaneous double-sided labeling accelerates the production processes.
Customer Experience
For consumers using the product, both the exterior appearance and the information provided inside are attention-grabbing.
