Eye-catching in-mould labels

A COLLABORATION between Beauty Label and Packaging Sdn. Bhd and Taghleef Industries (Ti) has yielded an attractive yet cost-effective in-mould label (IML) solution for one of the leading margarine and speciality fats brands, ‘Naturel’ from Lam Soon Group. The label exceeded stringent design, processing and packaging requirements, according to the companies. The IML film grade used is LIL70 supplied from Ti’s plant in Australia, designed especially for markets in ANZ and the SEA regions.

Ti around the world

Headquartered in Dubai, Ti is one of the leading manufacturers of BOPP films worldwide with operations in the United Arab Emirates, Oman, Egypt, USA, Canada, Australia, Italy, Hungary and Spain; distribution centres in Germany, South Africa and El Salvador, and a sales office in China. The company is emerging as a global leader in all segments of label business with emphasis on IML.

Extensive range of BOPP films

Today, Ti offers a diverse portfolio of films both for injection moulded and thermoformed containers. The range of solid core films extends from ultra-clear to matt clear and white films. The voided white core films deliver a choice of high gloss to smooth to satin and even orange peel post mould finishes. Designers can choose many container finishes for a wide variety of uses, such as large containers like paint pails and buckets with high gloss finish or solid white films, to satin finish for margarine containers, to “orange peel” for stadium cups. There is also an ever-increasing demand and focus on the metallic IML look.

The superior graphics of injection IML labels are often perceived as more costly than other labeling technologies. However, as an example, I-IML containers have no release liner waste (as in PSL). In case of misprinted direct print container the whole container is rejected. This is also not forgetting that I-IML containers offer five side decoration capability (bar codes at the bottom) leaving design freedom (using highest quality graphics) for brand owners on the consumer facing sides and lids.
