Sheetfed Offset Inks & Coatings for In-Mould Labelling

Flint Group offers advanced sheetfed offset ink solutions for in-mould labelling (IML), supporting high-quality, durable packaging for a wide range of applications.

In-mould labelling is a highly efficient decoration process in which the printed label is placed inside the mould during container production. The label becomes an integral part of the final product, eliminating the need for post-labelling and enabling a seamless, high-impact finish.

IML is widely used across food, beverage, and consumer packaging, where strong visual appeal and durability are essential. It allows for excellent design flexibility, vibrant colours, and consistent branding, helping products stand out in competitive retail environments.

To meet the specific demands of IML applications, Flint Group’s sheetfed inks are developed to deliver:

  • High colour strength and excellent printability

  • Sharp dot reproduction for detailed graphics

  • Fast drying or curing performance

  • Very good adhesion & scratch resistance

  • No curling effect (no shrinkage)

  • Stability across a wide range of temperatures, including deep freeze conditions

  • Low migration performance for sensitive packaging applications

With a focus on performance, consistency, and compliance, Flint Group supports converters in achieving reliable production and high-quality results in in-mould labelling.
