| Interest
and applications for In-Mold Labeling (IML), which
is primarily used for packaging applications,
are rapidly increasingly in the U.S., although
it has been well established in Europe for many
years. There are several technical considerations
in terms of the label, mold, automation, and machine,
but the process can be quite cost-effective for
the small or large processor because of the flexibility
the technology offers. This presentation will
examine the various requirements and options for
IML for a range of molded products and will include
discussion about the key system components. Examples
of actual IML applications will be used to demonstrate
the ease-of-use and reliability today’s
technology offers.
