In-mold label printing method

Introduction of the dazzling "In-Mold Label Printing" using inline UV hologram foil.

By selecting holographic foil for in-mold labels, not only does the design range expand, but the eye-catching effect also increases. UV offset printing allows for a reproduction of halftone quality that is closer to the actual image, but it has disadvantages such as a thinner ink film compared to gravure or flexo, resulting in less three-dimensionality. However, if you have a machine equipped with a foiler, foil printing is possible, and it can accommodate complex designs that surpass flexo. 【Features】 ■ Holographic foil with a three-dimensional shine ■ Expanded design possibilities ■ Design development that takes advantage of curves enhances the effect of holographic foil ■ Differentiation based on label design and bottle shape ■ More effective presentations are also possible *For more details, please refer to the PDF materials or feel free to contact us.

basic information

【Printing Methods for In-Mold Labels】 ■ Gravure - The plates are durable, allowing for high-speed printing on web with high printing accuracy. - Suitable for large lot printing, but the unit price is high for small lots. - Foil printing is not possible. ■ UV Flexo - An ideal method for label stickers, offering flexibility and high versatility. - It is difficult to control the marginal zone due to printing pressure, and there are slight concerns about registration accuracy, making it unsuitable for applications requiring high precision. ■ UV Offset - The ink film thickness is thin, resulting in less three-dimensionality compared to gravure and flexo. - Good reproducibility of halftone dot conditions allows for expressions close to the actual image. - If equipped with a foiler, foil printing is possible, and it can handle complex designs that surpass flexo. *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.
