The in-mold labeling machine is a kind of robot that can realize intelligent control, put the label into the mold cavity and adsorb it, complete the fusion of the label and the plastic container, and realize and complete this process.
First of all, you need to understand the difference between in-mold labeling and self-adhesive labeling:
Self-adhesive labels have a special adhesive on the non-printed side of the trademark and can be affixed manually or mechanically. When it comes to products, it has a wide range of applications and is suitable for various industries. The disadvantage is that the trademark will fall off, and the trademark and sticking effect will one-sidedly affect the value of the product.
In-mold labeling is to heat-melt the trademark and the product into one. For example: the plastic bottles we often use for shampoo have labels on them that are self-adhesive, screen-printed, etc. If you use your own trademark method, the self-adhesive trademark will fall off and wrinkle over time, and the screen-printed one will also fall off easily, and will lose the expected effect after friction. In-mold labels are generally two-layered, and there are also multi-layered ones. One is for printing The first layer is the adhesive layer. The material used in the adhesive layer can be melted with the raw materials used in the shampoo bottle. The in-mold label is sent into the mold cavity of the working hollow bottle blowing machine through the manipulator of the in-mold labeling machine. And through the negative pressure suction hole on the inner wall of the mold cavity, the in-mold label is adsorbed into the mold cavity through negative pressure. Since the blank is in a molten state, the temperature is relatively high, and is close to the melting temperature of the adhesive layer of the in-mold label. , during the blow molding process of the plastic bottle, the bottle wall and the adhesive layer of the label are fused into one. After blow molding, the label and the bottle are integrated. The trademark is smooth and neat, with the same texture as the bottle. There is no difference between the trademark and the bottle. With obvious edges and excellent texture and feel, it is mostly used in high-end product lines for multiple anti-counterfeiting purposes. The label will not fall off or wrinkle, and the bottle will maintain its advertising effect for a long time without damaging the label.
According to market demand, the use of in-mold labeling will become more and more widespread.
