Online exhibitionCost and Lead time reduction by Yupo In-Mold Label (IM-L)
Characteristic and Advantages
No need to stick label. YUPO IM-L process achieves molding and labeling at one time.
No wastage from release liner
Stronger label bonding strength to the bottle.
Yupo IM-L is applied in various industries.
Conventional
Pressure Sensitive Label
IM-L-Blow
Our proposal
In-Mold Label
IM-L-Injection
*"YUPO" is a registered trademark of Yupo Corporation
Applicable components
Caution label for "TOYOTA, PRIUS & AQUA" reservoir tank
Product label for hair care bottles and for cup/lid of food containers.
Proposal for the future
Since Yupo IM-L can be fused with bottle during molding process, it eliminates post-labeling
process such as Pressure Sensitive label and Shrink sleeves. This enables to achieve shorter
lead-time and cost reduction in total production process of commercial products.
Yupo IM-L is more environmental friendly because it does not require a release-liner unlike PS label.
IM-L can contribute to reduce resin consumption for bottle as the label becomes a part of bottle.
Example: Caution Label for "Prius/Aqua" reservoir tank ⇒60mm×37mm(label size)×0.14mm(label thickness)×0.9g/㎡(label density)×Sales amount(220,000/year) = 62kg reduction per year
IM-L can contribute to reduce CO2 emissions because it does not require such post-labeling
process emitting certain amount of CO2.
