A closer look at in-mold labels
Explore the questions to ask when a label becomes part of a molded container.
Start with the molding process
An in-mold label is introduced during container molding. This makes coordination between label design, container resin and mold important.
Ask about compatibility
Share the mold geometry, resin and intended contents with the supplier. Do not infer food contact suitability from the label format alone.
Plan a sample test
Confirm placement, appearance and performance on actual samples before approving production.
