Inland Label to show Roll-Fed IML capabilities at NPE Show

US converter Inland Label, alongside CBW Automation, will demonstrate its roll-fed injection in-mold labeling capabilities and their potential anti-counterfeit properties for use in the pharmaceutical market at this year’s NPE show in CBW’s booth 3169.

By combining its IML expertise with CBW Automation’s knowledge, Inland Label has created a new label technology perfect for high volume, low SKU products. According to the company, Roll-Fed IML provides the same photo quality graphics and ultimate durability as traditional IML, but can offer up to 30 percent in cost savings for the right application.

These cost savings comes from the fact that Roll-Fed IML is supplied to the molder in roll form. Unlike traditional cut and stack IML, these labels are cut in place on the production line prior to being placed in the mold. Thinner gauge films can be therefore be used, which reduces the amount of raw materials needed; because the labels aren’t cut prior to being sent to the molder, manufacturing costs are also reduced. Additionally, providing these labels in roll form allows IML to be used for very large and very small products that traditionally couldn’t utilize IML technology.

Through the collaboration of TechMold, a designer and manufacturer of high-cavitation molds, CBW Automation and Inland label, the unique features of in-mold labeling are being offered as an effective anti-counterfeiting solution for prefillable syringe barrels in the pharmaceutical industry.
