PP Water Basin IML Label Injection Molding

Unlike the IML films for small containers, during the molding of large-diameter water basins, the film material undergoes radial stretching. Patterns such as marble textures and stone patterns are prone to texture misalignment and seam breaks.

The PP Water Basin IML Label Injection Molding produced by Zhongyu Supplier has undergone dual optimization of the base material and printing process for the entire circle extension characteristic of large-diameter basins. After injection molding, the film and the PP basin melt completely, sealing continuous marble and stone texture patterns between the inner and outer walls of the basin. The patterns are not directly exposed outside.

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

Why is it suitable for water basins?

Optimized for lateral extension, it adapts to the radial stretching of large-diameter basins, reducing the misalignment of stone texture splicing and texture breaks.

Resistant to water washing and friction, it is less likely to wear and bubble when in long-term contact with clean water and cleaning agents.

Resistant to alternating temperatures, able to withstand short-term hot water rinsing, reducing the risk of delamination and ink bleeding.

The PP Water Basin IML Label Injection Molding is of the same quality as the PP substrate and does not require the separation of the film material, complying with overseas recycling standards.

Compatible with wide-mouth thin-wall injection molding, regulating thermal shrinkage, improving wave and depression appearance defects.

Available in roll form or pre-cut sheet form, compatible with automatic and semi-automatic embedding production.

Industry endorsement

Practical project experience

Zhongyu has been deeply engaged in the research and manufacturing of IML films for home and daily-use products for many years, implementing numerous projects for large-diameter round containers, mastering the difficult process challenges of large-diameter basin injection molding with embedded labels, and specializing in the development of IML films with continuous seamless textures such as marble and wood grain.

Closed-loop production control

Printing and substrate processing are completed in the factory's dust-free workshop, without outsourcing; complete process detection records of each batch of IML films are retained to achieve full-link traceability.

Pre-risk verification capability

A daily-use IML simulation injection molding testing workstation is configured in the factory, and the 3D drawings of water basins can be received to simulate the stretching conditions of large-diameter basins, and potential texture misalignment hazards can be identified at the sample stage.

Compliance with foreign trade requirements

Standardized quality control is implemented, and oil and base film raw materials are selected specifically for home products, providing material testing data for foreign trade customers, meeting the entry conditions of multiple countries.

Flexible supply guarantee

Support for small-batch trial samples for new products, while also accepting large-batch foreign trade orders. With sufficient production lines of its own, it ensures continuous and stable supply of water basin projects.

FAQ

1. Q: How to improve the misalignment of the water basin with the engraved marble patterns after injection molding?

A: Based on the 3D data of the water basin, adjust the film material and printing process to alleviate the texture misalignment caused by radial stretching.

2. Q: Can we do die-cutting ourselves if we only purchase IML film rolls?

A: We support the supply of rolls, and will also provide reference parameters for die-cutting process.

3. Q: Can this PP Water Basin IML Label Injection Molding be used for PP water basins for washing and rinsing contact with clean water?

A: Home-grade materials can be selected, and corresponding material test data can be provided.

4. Q: Will the thin-walled structure of the water basin cause surface waves when using IML film?

A: Select corresponding film materials based on the wall thickness of the basin to reduce wave and depression defects during injection molding.

5. Q: What is the minimum sample order quantity for the new product water basin with IML film?

A: We have small roll sample specifications, and will provide specific order requirements based on the basin size and pattern.

6. Q: Are all the printing processing procedures outsourced?

A: All processes are completed in the dust-free workshop of our company, and production records of each batch are archived.

7. Q: Will the colors of the stone pattern and marble patterns be distorted after injection molding?

A: Color compensation is done during printing to offset the color deviation caused by high-temperature injection molding.
