Inland Label launches Opti-Clear IML

US-based converter Inland Label has unveiled its Opti-Clear IML in-mold labeling option.

When paired with optical grade resins, these super-transparent labels allow the user to create a ‘no label look’ on a clear plastic container. This is achieved by not printing or applying a top coat on sections of the label, so when it is molded to the container the product becomes visible through it.

Opti-Clear IML gives brand owners the flexibility to change their art or have several variations of one label for a product without the added expenses of reprogramming automation or purchasing new dies, says the company.

Using a label the size of the entire container and only printing on certain sections of it allows for several different label shapes, sizes and designs to be accomplished by simply changing the label art.

Existing dies and automation can continue to be used which leads to cost savings, faster changeover and turnaround on new labels. As with all of Inland Label’s in-mold labels, Opti-Clear IML provides a 100 percent recyclable container.

Inland Label is featuring this new IML technology, along with other developments including anti-piracy features, 1-Seal Lids and oxygen barrier in-mold labels, at Pack Expo, October 28-31, at McCormick Place in Chicago, Illinois.
