IML Labels (In-Mold Labels)

Want labels that never peel, scratch, or fade — and look like part of the product itself? You’re in the right place. IML (In-Mold Labeling) fuses the label and container during the molding process, creating a seamless, permanent finish. At Custom Boxes Lab, we produce precision-cut, high-resolution IML labels that deliver unbeatable durability, vibrant branding, and a premium “no-label” look. So choose IML labels that mold with your product — because real branding should last a lifetime.

    IML Labels

    Formed to Fit, Built to Stay

    IML labels are not applied after production — they’re embedded into the container itself, giving you ultra-durable graphics that won’t scratch, wrinkle, or peel under any condition.

    Material Options

    We use only injection-mold-compatible films that meet the highest industry standards:

    • White PP Film – Opaque, vibrant base for full-color prints
    • Clear PP Film – Seamless, transparent finish for a clean, product-forward look
    • Metallic IML Film – Chrome or gold shine for premium or luxury lines
    • Recyclable PP – Sustainable, mono-material label compatible with eco-packaging

    Sizes & Shapes

    We tailor every IML label to your container’s mold:

    • Wraparound, front-panel, lid-top, or multi-panel IML designs
    • Cut-to-size with extreme precision for seamless container integration
    • Suitable for tubs, buckets, containers, jars, lids, and trays

    Printing & Finish Options

    All IML labels are printed in high definition using specialized, mold-ready techniques:

    • Full-color CMYK or PMS printing
    • Matte, gloss, or dual-texture finishes
    • Spot UV or metallic ink accents
    • Antistatic coating to ensure proper placement during molding

    Key Advantages of IML

    • No Peeling or Scratching – Label is fused into the surface
    • Moisture & Chemical Resistance – Ideal for harsh environments
    • High-Speed Automation Ready – Perfect for mass production
    • Sustainable – Container and label are a single material, aiding recyclability

    Best Applications for IML Labels

    IML is preferred in industries where longevity and shelf appeal go hand-in-hand:

    • Food & Dairy: yogurt cups, margarine tubs, ice cream containers
    • Household Products: cleaning product tubs, wipes, detergent containers
    • Industrial Use: paint buckets, lubricant pails, fertilizer containers
    • Beauty & Personal Care: creams, powders, lotion jars
