In-mold labeling realizes fully automated production, eliminating the traditional manual labeling process. The intervention of automation greatly improves the consistency, aesthetics, and durability of labeling. Since the manual labeling process is eliminated, it is effective Reduce labor costs and management costs. In addition to the above advantages, in-mold labeling also has the characteristics of simplifying the recycling process and taking into account environmental protection.
There are many types of label materials for in-mold labeling. The following will introduce the characteristics of several label materials for in-mold labeling. The cost comparison mentioned below is only a relative comparison of the costs of several materials and does not involve other costs. The overall cost of in-mold labeling is still very advantageous compared to manual labeling.
Paper label material
Paper label material is the most commonly used material for in-mold labeling. It is printed using an ordinary printer and can be easily torn off by hand. The advantages of paper label material are low cost, easy printing, and a variety of color options. However, the disadvantage is that it is easily damaged by water and sunlight, and is not suitable for use on products that have been placed for a long time.
Plastic label material
Plastic label materials are more durable than paper label materials, are not easily damaged, and are more suitable for products that are placed for a long time. In addition, plastic label materials can also provide a variety of color options, and are not prone to wrinkles during the labeling process. The printing effect of plastic label material is slightly inferior to that of paper label material.
Metal label material
For products that require high temperature processing, metal label materials are a very suitable choice. It can withstand high temperatures and chemical corrosion while also being extremely durable. Metal label materials can be provided in a variety of materials and colors such as galvanized and stainless steel, but the material cost is relatively high and it is not suitable for use on general products.
Other label materials
In addition to the above three main label materials, there are other materials that can be used for in-mold labeling, such as soft plastics, leather and other materials. However, these materials have their own characteristics and usage scenarios, and they need to be selected according to the needs of different products.
When in-mold labeling, the choice of label material is very important and should be selected according to the needs of different products. Paper label material is low-cost and easy to print, but it is not suitable for products that are placed for a long time; plastic label materials are more durable and suitable for products that are placed for a long time, but the printing effect is slightly inferior to paper; metal label materials are suitable for products processed at high temperatures. But the price is higher. You need to choose based on the usage scenarios and requirements of the product.
