IML Label PP Coffee Cup by Injection Molding

Zhongyu's suppliers manufacture this IML Label PP Coffee Cup by Injection Molding to address the pain points of projects related to trendy cultural products and IP collaborations for limited-edition cups. They solve the problem of large-format gradient illustration output that is difficult to achieve with ordinary screen printing or self-adhesive materials. The label image is sealed in the plastic layer, and there will be no pattern wear or cup body warping when soaked in water.

Material advantages

1. Special film material suitable for high-saturation illustration printing

2. Food-contact grade composite substrate, preventing ink from leaking out

3. Excellent injection molding stretch adaptability

4. Environmentally resistant base material, suitable for the entire circulation chain

5. Can be recycled together, reducing packaging processing costs

Performance testing

1. Pattern Stretch Simulation Test

Simulate the high-temperature stretching condition during injection molding in advance, check the deformation of illustrations, text, and QR codes, and correct the manuscript in advance to prevent pattern stretching and deformation in the final product.

2. Cold and Hot Alternating Cycle Test

Simulate alternating high and low temperatures, simulate the storage in cold storage and the alternation of cold and hot beverages in stores, observe whether the label layer shows layering or bubbles, and verify the firmness of the interlayer bonding.

3. Water Vapor Immersion Resistance Test

Simulate the long-term water vapor immersion scenario of the store, inspect whether there are bubbles or delamination phenomena, and verify the firmness of the interlayer bonding.

4. Abrasion and Wiping Test

Repeatedly dry wipe and wet wipe the surface of the cup, ensuring that the illustration patterns do not become white or worn, meeting the usage scenarios of frequent water contact in the store and consumers holding and playing with.

5. Ink Migration Safety Test

Carry out migration detection according to food contact packaging standards, confirm that the ink will not be released, and ensure the safety of beverage use.

6. Batch Consistency Verification

Make multiple consecutive printing samples of the same pattern for comparison, control the color deviation between different batches, and ensure the visual uniformity of the large-scale IP collaboration cups in large quantities.

FAQ

Q1: Will there be color discontinuity when using IML Label PP Coffee Cup by Injection Molding?

A: The special film material is adapted for gradient images. The initial draft is optimized to ensure the complete restoration of the illustration layers.

Q2: Can the already used injection molding molds be directly used for the IP version IML labels?

A: Provide a cup sample for stretching assessment. Some parameters of the molds can be adjusted slightly to be put into production.

Q3: Will the QR code printing inside the IML label affect the scanning recognition?

A: With reasonable design parameters, the QR code can be stably recognized. The scanning test can be conducted during the initial sample production.

Q4: Can small-batch trial samples be made for IP collaboration orders?

A: Sample production is supported. After confirming the physical effect, large-scale production can be initiated.

Q5: Can the label material meet the compliance conditions for exporting overseas food packaging?

A: Raw materials are strictly selected. Corresponding batch test reports can be provided according to the order.

Q6: What supporting conditions does your company have for IP creative IML projects?

A: We have our own cleanroom and R&D laboratory. We have multiple sets of practical experience in IP packaging implementation.

Q7: Will the label switching of different SKU series products prolong the delivery cycle?

A: The entire production line can complete it independently. The label edition change can be scheduled flexibly, reducing the version switching cycle.
