IML Label PP Water Basin by Injection Molding

Unlike ordinary IML films, Zhongyu's high-quality China IML Label PP Water Basin by Injection Molding focuses on solving the problem of distortion in the formation of continuous wood grain patterns. The film material is delivered in roll form or die-cut sheet form, and after injection molding, it fully melts and integrates into the interior of the PP basin, sealing the simulated wood grain finish within the product layer.

Custom IML Waterproof In Mold Label for Household Product Specifications

Application scenario

Household wash basin, with wood grain embedded, resistant to detergent washing, preventing sticker detachment, enhancing home decoration quality.

Garden and landscaping flower pots, compatible with large-diameter PP basins, resistant to water vapor in short-term outdoor use, replacing solid wood to reduce costs.

Pet wash basin, resistant to washing and cleaning agents, anti-decomposition and resistant to scrubbing, delaying the aging and wear of decorative layers.

Export and supermarket water basins, with the same material as the source to meet recycling standards, suitable for large-scale overseas orders.

Gift set plastic basins, replicating the appearance of wood, eliminating the need for secondary stamping, simplifying production processes.

IML Label Injection Molding Production Process

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

Quality control guarantee

Wood-grain Texture Test:

Perform ring-shaped tensile simulation for every roll, check wood-grain joint & knot integrity, rule out rolls with splicing-fracture risks.

Ink Adhesion Test:

Simulate high-temperature injection molding for thermal composite test, confirm ink-base-film bonding strength, prevent ink migration and delamination.

Dust-free Workshop Production:

All printing and post-processing finished in dust-free workshop, lower white-spot defects caused by dust and crystal points.

Raw-material Batch Lock-in:

Adopt dedicated base film and ink for household basins, lock raw-material brands for traceability and stable batch-to-batch performance.

Full-roll Visual Inspection:

Full-width inspection for finished rolls, remove offset printing, missing print and scratches, guarantee stable die-cutting & injection molding.

Project implementation

1.We are skilled in continuous wood grain large-diameter round basin projects, handling multiple different diameter wood-like PP water basins for implementation, familiar with the extrusion deformation risks at the edge of the basin opening.

2.Receiving 3D models of customer water basins, conducting preliminary evaluations of basin wall thickness and edge structure, outputting membrane material selection and texture draft processing suggestions to reduce repeated prototyping.

3.On-site can complete simple simulation injection molding verification, replicating the circumferential tensile effect of large round basins in advance, intercepting the risk of wood grain misalignment at the sample stage.

4.Flexible switching between sample and mass production, new products can be tested with small rolls to verify the process, confirming the effect before seamlessly switching to mass production, ensuring stable delivery schedules.

5.For export projects, we can provide raw material brand names, material reports, and cooperate with customers to complete the material compliance review for overseas markets.

FAQ

Question: How to handle the situation where the wood grain pattern breaks at the joint position after the wood grain injection molding?

Answer: Make pre-compensation for the print based on 3D data, optimize the membrane material's extensibility, and improve the pattern breakage caused by circular stretching.

Question: Can we only purchase the roll material and complete the die-cutting processing by ourselves?

Answer: We support the supply of roll material, and also provide reference parameters for die-cutting tolerance.

Question: Can this IML Label PP Water Basin by Injection Molding be used for outdoor PP flower pots?

Answer: We can select weather-resistant compatible raw materials and provide corresponding material descriptions.

Question: Why does the membrane material tend to wrinkle at the edge of the pot opening?

Answer: It is related to the pot structure and the parameters of the membrane material. Early structural assessment can reduce the probability of wrinkle occurrence.

Question: What is the minimum sample order quantity for the IML membrane of this wood grain water basin by injection molding?

Answer: Small roll sample specifications can support new product development. The specific quantity will be calculated based on the pot body size.

Question: Are the printing and membrane post-processing processes outsourced for manufacturing?

Answer: All process steps are completed in the dust-free workshop of our factory. Production data for each batch is retained and archived.

Question: Will there be significant color differences in the wood grain pattern of different batches of finished products?

Answer: Implement raw material locking and color control, strictly control the color fluctuation between batches.
