As a professional manufacturer of IML Label Injection Molding for PP Paint Bucket, Zhongyu has been deeply involved in this field for 14 years. Its BOPP base sheet has been optimized for injection molding processes and is suitable for high-quality, large-scale, and automated production requirements.



1. Zhongyu's IML film material usually selects biaxially oriented polypropylene base material, with a thickness of 0.05-0.1mm, which has excellent printing adaptability and ink firmness.
2. Its surface undergoes special coating treatment, which can match various visual effects such as matte, glossy, metallic, laser, and orange peel, achieving high-precision, multi-color printing.
3. The film material is homologous to the PP resin, and the entire packaging can be recycled as a whole, conforming to the trend of environmental protection recycling, and the fusion characteristic of the label naturally has anti-counterfeiting functions, which is conducive to brand protection.

For the injection molding process of PP paint buckets, Zhongyu's film material design has three key points:
1. Electrostatic adsorption process
2. Surface texture matching
3. Precise die-cutting and fusion
Traditional labeling is prone to damage and warping: Compared to self-adhesive labels, which are prone to scratches and warping, our IML Label Injection Molding for PP Paint Bucket is fused with the bucket body, resistant to friction, high temperature, and chemical corrosion, and can adapt to harsh environments over a long period.
High cost of secondary processes: By eliminating the separate labeling process, production efficiency is significantly improved, and the defective rate caused by incorrect labeling or contamination is reduced.
Visual and application defects: Solving the color difference problem caused by dark bucket bottoms. By adding a white ink layer or adjusting the ink concentration, high-saturation colors can be accurately presented with high precision.

A: The BOPP base material is of the same quality as PP resin, and it has good printing adaptability, allowing for perfect fusion and preventing the bucket from deforming.
A: By using rough surface or orange peel label designs, it is conducive to internal exhaust during injection molding, effectively avoiding bubbles and wrinkling.
A: No. The patterns are deeply embedded in the plastic, making them wear-resistant, scratch-resistant, and resistant to chemical corrosion.
A: The labels usually adopt electrostatic adsorption technology, combined with high-precision die-cutting to ensure accurate positioning in the mold.
A: If there is a dark bottom on the bucket, the color saturation can be ensured by adding a white ink layer or adjusting the ink concentration.
A: The regular order quantity is 3000 square meters. The production cycle is approximately 10-15 days, and we can support large-volume orders.
A: Yes. We provide a free designer team, which can cooperate to complete the development of multi-color and special visual effects.
