Details

Engineered IML solutions for durable, high-performance packaging.

Ag & Specialty Chemicals In-Mold Labels (IML) provide a robust labeling solution by integrating the label directly into the container during the molding process. This approach creates a pre-decorated package where the label becomes an integral part of the final product, supporting durability and consistent appearance across the supply chain.

CCL Label supports IML applications with technical expertise and global manufacturing capabilities, helping customers evaluate and implement the right decoration approach for their packaging requirements. The result is a label solution that supports operational efficiency while maintaining consistent quality in highly demanding environments.

Integrated construction

The label is applied during container manufacturing, becoming a permanent part of the package.

Durability for demanding use

IML solutions are designed to withstand rough handling and shipment-related wear.

Production efficiency

Combines container production and labeling into a single process, eliminating additional labeling steps.

Consistent high-quality graphics

Supports clear, durable decoration that remains intact throughout the product lifecycle.

Frequently Asked Questions about Ag & Specialty Chemicals In-Mold Label Solutions

What is an In-Mold Label (IML)?

An In-Mold Label is a label that is applied during the container manufacturing process, where it becomes an integral part of the final product.

How does IML support durability in chemical applications?

Because the label is fused into the container structure, it is designed to resist scuffing, handling damage, and environmental exposure throughout the product lifecycle.

What types of containers can use IML solutions?

IML can be applied to plastic containers produced through processes such as blow molding and injection molding, enabling use across a variety of formats.

How does IML improve operational efficiency?

IML integrates labeling directly into the manufacturing process, eliminating the need for a separate labeling step and supporting streamlined production.
