IIC HANDELSAKTIENGESELLSCHAFT (HANDELS-AG)

IIC is your specialist for In-Mould Labelling (IML)
The IML Technology is suitable for a multitude of container geometries i. e almost any shape from round to polygonal.
Advantages of using IML Technology:
IML convinces by the outstanding quality of decoration which cannot be achieved by either offset or gravure printing
With the IML Process it is possible to decorate all five outer surfaces of the container in one single operation
No contamination of the product due static charging
IML enables the production of decorated and packed containers in one operation. Internal transport and intermediate storage are eliminated
Cost savings achieved because of IML have made the process even more economically attractive when compared to conventional decoration processes.
Subject to appropriate lot sizes, complete automation solutions with placement of the labels in the mold and removal of the decorated products, including packing, will become firmly established.
In the future, producers with existing printing equipment will increasingly and selectively apply the IML process.
The share of decorated packaging is expected to continue its growth, especially for "premium products".
The need for more design freedom, as well as rationalization and automation measures, continue to advance the development of the IML injection molding process permanently and open up new markets for it.
