CUP CONCEPT IML Photo Printing
How in-mould labelling works:
In the first stage of the highly specialised manufacturing process optimised by CUP CONCEPT for returnable cups, the print design is laid flat on top of a plastic sheet. This sheet is then inserted into the injection mould for the cup and then binds with the injected plastic. The result is a smooth, rimless surface which prevents any build-up of contamination behind the design. Thus, this process meets the stringent standards of hygiene required in the catering industry.
IML is a sophisticated process that produces brilliant, richly coloured, high-gloss, faithfully reproduced printed images whose excellent photo quality is a match for paper prints. The IML technique can be used to print the entire exterior surface of a cup.
The IML technique is particularly suitable for:
- Photographs
- Designs with a wide variety of colours
- Printing the entire exterior surface of a cup.
