Unlike conventional IML which only focuses on basic graphic formation, Zhongyu manufacturers fully consider the stress deformation brought by the special structure of the hand-held container. This IML Label PP Snack Container by Injection Molding also incorporates illustrations, artistic fonts, and multi-layer gradient designs, presenting a highly designed layout.


1. Gravure printing on PET/PP film and Lamination
2. Cutting into standard label sheets
3. Automatic robot places labels into injection mold cavity
4. Plastic melt injection, film and plastic melt into one piece
5. Demold finished IML plastic products directly
- Application container: Hand-held plastic injection molded snack bucket, suitable for limited edition occasions and gift packaging of casual snacks
- Compatible products: Solid-state casual foods such as chocolates, candies, and mixed snacks
- Sales channels: Supermarket gift sections, e-commerce gift boxes, festival promotional packages, and foreign trade food gift orders
- Production method: Can conduct small-batch sample production for new products to verify pattern effects, and also supports large-scale batch production during festival peak seasons
- Expansion compatibility: The same process can be used for PP packaging buckets with snap-on sealing covers to achieve unified output of bucket body theme patterns

Food-grade printing material |
Dedicated non-migration ink for snack packaging |
Ordinary adhesive may have overflow risk |
Use universal ink without snack-oriented screening |
|
Post-production process |
No secondary labeling, directly finished after injection molding |
Need extra labeling station & labor cost |
Only supply film without structure suggestion |
|
Batch traceability |
Complete raw-material & production archive for food customer audit |
Hard to trace adhesive batch |
No complete file for food-industry audit |
1. The complex holiday illustrations are prone to deformation: Analyze the force-bearing surface of the carrying bucket in advance, perform deformation compensation for the illustrations and gradients, and the pattern will not be stretched or distorted after injection molding.
2. Labeling at the handles and clasps creases: The IML graphics are embedded in the bucket wall without glue, and the special structural positions do not cracked edge or fold.
3. Scratches on stacking due to friction: The printing layer is sealed inside the plastic, and it does not fall off due to storage and transportation friction, maintaining the appearance of the gift.
4. Food customers review missing traceability materials: Complete the storage of raw materials and production batches, and provide supporting materials to meet internal audits and factory inspections.
5. Insufficient labeling capacity during peak season: The printing is completed simultaneously with injection molding, eliminating the need for a secondary labeling process, and alleviating the production line pressure of the festival orders.
6. High failure rate of mold trials due to general parameters: Combine 3D drawings for simulation and evaluation in the early stage, and intercept pattern defects at the sample stage.
7. Inaccurate multi-color layout printing: Controlled by a dust-free workshop to control the printing accuracy, restore the rich colors of the festival, and enhance the quality and appearance of the shelf gifts.

A: Compensation for the stress curves of the box body is made in the draft, and the complex layouts such as illustrations and gradients can be formed stably.
A: The stress areas are identified in advance, and the draft layout is optimized to avoid stretching and distortion of the core image.
A: The raw material and production records of each batch are archived, and supporting review materials can be provided.
A: The injection molding directly forms the graphic, and there is no need for secondary labeling, which is suitable for large-scale orders during festivals.
A: All are processed in the clean room of our factory, and no outsourcing or external collaboration is involved. The quality is controllable.
A: Prototyping of new products is supported. The pattern forming effect is verified first before starting the mass production.
A: The IML Label PP Snack Container by Injection Molding selects snack-specific non-migrating ink. The working conditions of the new project will undergo compatibility verification.
