In-mold labels provide decoration as an integral part of the container, applied during molding and not added on at a later stage in the production process.

While this complicates the production and limits its flexibility, the result definitely makes up for it with an eye-catching no-label look that stands out on the shelves.

Digital printing of in-mold labels can overcome the issues of conventional technologies and will enable further growth of the in-mold label market.
