IMD
The IMD process requires more complex and more costly technology than does the IML process. It is intended for products that have a longer shelf life, such as cell phones and automotive instrument panels.
IML
The IML process is intended for products that have an average shelf life. It is less costly to operate and is better suited for high-run production.
It is mainly recommended for food product containers (ice creams, yogurts, sauces, etc.), cosmetic and personal care product containers (creams, foundations, blushes, dyes, shampoo bottles, shower gel bottles, deodorants, etc.), petrochemical and paint containers (solvents, paint, engine oil, etc.), household product containers (laundry detergents, fabric softeners, liquid cleaners, etc.), and other molded plastic parts.
In-mold labeling, or IML, is an innovative technology that opens new horizons in the labeling process used for all types of injection-molded, blow-molded, and thermoformed plastic containers or parts.
The IML process allows you to fuse in-mold labels (high-quality graphic images) to plastic in a single step when molding your plastic containers or parts.
Your brand image is permanently protected with durable plastic properties that resist the elements.
The key to the success of the IML process is the label! Aspasie has proven itself a wise choice since it has mastered the art of producing and printing high-quality in-mold labels at very competitive prices.
