What is InMold?

InMold (or In-Mold Labeling, IML) is a process where labels are integrated directly into plastic components during the injection molding process. The label is placed into the mold cavity and fuses with the plastic during production. This creates permanent, water- and chemical-resistant identification that remains precisely readable even under demanding conditions.

This process has proven especially valuable where precision and traceability are critical. Manufacturers in pharmaceutical, food, and electronics industries benefit from having essential information—such as batch numbers or expiration dates—permanently integrated into the product from the start. This keeps workflows automated, quality assured, and identification reliable from day one.

What Advantages Does InMold Offer?

• Integrated During Production: No secondary labeling required
• Superior Durability: Labels withstand moisture, chemicals, and mechanical stress
• Process Reliability: Supports automated workflows and ensures complete traceability

How Can InMold Be Deployed Even More Efficiently?

PMG Labels offers InMold labels in both traditional stack format and roll-fed processing (InMold onRoll).

Roll-fed processing makes the process particularly flexible and efficient: labels can be processed faster, cycle times increase, and integration into automated production lines becomes significantly easier. This allows manufacturers to benefit from enhanced process reliability, reduced changeover times, and maximum flexibility. Whether producing large series or smaller batch sizes.
