3D Embossing IML | HARDVOGUE

Introduction to 3D Embossing IML

BOPP 3D Embossing IML is an in-mold label with a three-dimensional embossing effect. It feels concave and convex when touched and looks more textured. It uses BOPP film (a kind of high-strength plastic) as the material, creates 3D textures through a special embossing process, and combines in-mold labeling technology (IML) to make the label and plastic packaging fit perfectly, which is both beautiful and durable.

Features:

🔹 Three-dimensional feel - The label has a textured surface, which feels better and looks more upscale.

🔹 WATER and oil repellent - suitable for food, cosmetic and other packaging that requires moisture.

🔹 High production efficiency - direct in-mold forming, eliminating post-labeling, suitable for mass production.

Food packaging (high-end ice cream boxes, chocolate trays
