Our Products

01 / 07

Matt

Subtle Appearance, Strong Expression

Matte IML labels give packaging a refined and understated look. Instead of reflecting light, the surface diffuses it softly, allowing graphics and colors to appear more balanced and controlled.

This results in a calm, modern aesthetic that emphasizes design clarity rather than shine.

Super Clear

Minimal Design, Maximum Impact

The invisible hero of packaging, transparent IML labels offer a minimalist yet powerful presentation that brings the product itself to the forefront. The transparent in-mould labelling solutions we offer are ideal, especially for brands that embrace a clean and minimalist design philosophy.

Ultra Gloss

A Surface That Captures Light, An Effect That Elevates the Brand

Ultra-gloss IML labels provide high reflectivity and vibrancy on the packaging surface. This specialized solution we offer has been developed for brands looking to enhance shelf visibility and make their design more energetic and eye-catching.

The gloss level makes colors appear more powerful while enhancing the clarity of graphic details. Especially on highly competitive shelves, it ensures the packaging is noticed at first glance.

Barrier

Where Protection Meets Visual Performance

Food safety and product shelf life are more critical than ever in today’s packaging industry. Barrier in mould labelling solutions create an effective protective layer between the product and the external environment, offering a packaging experience that is both aesthetic and functional. Especially for food products, they preserve freshness by preventing flavor loss and minimize the risk of contamination caused by external factors. In this way, they provide a holistic solution that not only delivers an eye-catching appearance but also extends the product’s shelf life and enhances its safety.

PET

High Clarity, Strong Protection, Responsible Choice

PET (Polyethylene Terephthalate) based IML labels deliver ultra-high transparency and gloss, significantly enhancing the shelf appeal of the product. By integrating seamlessly with the package during the injection molding process, the label achieves a glass-like clarity and a perfectly smooth surface, maximizing the visual impact of the packaging. This creates a more refined, clear, and trustworthy appearance on the shelf.

Beyond aesthetics, PET labels also offer outstanding protection. Their high impact resistance forms a strong bond with injection-molded containers, while their excellent resistance to moisture and heat provides a surface that is even more durable and stable than many barrier IML solutions. This ensures product integrity is maintained throughout logistics and end-use.

Metalized

High Shelf Impact, Premium Visual Quality

Metalized IML surfaces add a strong visual accent that attracts attention and elevates brand perception. They are often used when plastic packaging needs to achieve the same visual presence as metal.

BML

Integrated Production, Permanent Visuals

BML (Blow Mold Labeling) is a labeling method where the label is placed inside the mold during the production of plastic packaging and permanently integrated into the product surface through the blow molding process.

The process begins by blowing molten PE (polyethylene) material into the mold. The label is precisely positioned inside the mold prior to production. The material blown into the mold shapes both the form and the label simultaneously, making the label an integral part of the packaging.

This method ensures that the label fits perfectly onto the surface, especially for packaging with conical, curved, or asymmetric shapes.

This approach is driven by the ambition to shape not only today’s performance, but also the long-term future of the brand and the industry.

Global Language Capability

02. Global Language Capability

Our team’s strong foreign-language proficiency enables clear, accurate and efficient communication with partners across different countries. This ensures that technical requirements in IML projects are conveyed precisely and that production flows smoothly without disruption.

Each project is managed end-to-end by a dedicated customer representative. From initial design data to serial production, every stage is monitored and coordinated in a structured and transparent manner.

Experience in IML goes beyond simply executing incoming requests. Label structure, surface properties, in-mold behavior and production efficiency are evaluated for each project. This approach ensures that IML labels are produced with both visual and technical stability throughout the entire process.

Design Assurance

03. Design Assurance

Ensuring quality from the very beginning of the prepress stage is an integral part of the production process. For this purpose, advanced preparation software such as ArtPro is used to evaluate the technical accuracy and production suitability of design files.

With ArtPro’s analytical tools, files are checked against critical parameters such as dimensions, color values, cutting paths and material compatibility. Detecting potential technical inconsistencies at an early stage allows the process to remain controlled and predictable.

This structure creates a reliable data flow between design and production teams, ensuring that all details are verified systematically before printing begins. As a result, production starts from a more stable and secure foundation.

Color Reliability

04. Color Reliability

Color consistency is one of the key elements that protects a brand’s credibility. For this reason, all printing processes are managed using the EFI Fiery color management system in full compliance with FOGRA international color standards.

EFI Fiery provides integrated control from prepress through to production. This ensures that colors remain consistent across different devices, substrates and production conditions — from the first print to final delivery.

Wherever products are produced or delivered, corporate colors are maintained with accuracy and stability. Upon request, FOGRA certification can also be provided, documenting color accuracy through internationally recognized standards.

Reliable Packaging

05. Reliable Packaging

Product safety is a fundamental element of the delivery process. For this reason, durable outer cartons and protective inner packaging solutions are integrated into the production workflow.

From material selection to internal layout, strength and protection are considered at every stage to reduce the impact of vibration, pressure and environmental exposure during transport. In addition, packaging methods are adapted to the climate and weather conditions of the destination region, taking into account factors such as humidity, temperature variation and transit time.

This approach supports the preservation of both structural integrity and visual quality throughout distribution and helps maintain controlled delivery conditions.

Printing Technology

06. Printing Technology

Offset printing operations are built on high-precision production platforms and digitally integrated control systems. Machine configurations supporting both conventional and LED UV offset printing, with up to 8-color capability, allow flexible and stable production across a wide range of materials and applications.

This enables high-resolution printing not only on white BOPP substrates, but also on transparent and metalized surfaces. LED UV technology provides instant ink curing, enhancing surface stability while also improving energy efficiency.

In-press measurement, color monitoring and automatic optimization systems continuously track ink density, color balance and register accuracy during production. Ink settings are adjusted in real time, keeping color values within defined tolerances.

Through continuous monitoring and closed-loop feedback, color balance, register precision and surface quality remain consistent from the first sheet to the last — even in high-volume runs. High resolution, fast curing and process stability together deliver repeatable, standardized print quality across multiple markets and production batches.

Color Performance

07. Color Performance

Color is one of the most powerful visual elements shaping global brand perception. For this reason, color performance is managed not only as an aesthetic choice, but as a standardized and controlled production discipline.

In offset printing, color is managed from design to production based on defined reference values and measurable criteria. All jobs are prepared according to international color profiles and target values. During printing, colors are monitored using spectrophotometric methods at defined control points to maintain stability throughout the process.

This ensures consistent color characteristics across different machines, substrates and production locations, providing brands with a reliable, repeatable and globally aligned color experience.

Advanced Technology and Quality Management

08. Advanced Technology and Quality Management

Quality is treated as a system that governs the entire operation. This system is based on defined processes, risk anticipation, performance measurement and continuous improvement applied as a structured discipline. Quality is therefore embedded not only in outputs, but also in decision-making, planning and production management.

All workflows are designed to be fully traceable. Through a proprietary digital infrastructure, each job is tracked from prepress to shipment together with its process data. This allows materials, machines, conditions and parameters to be transparently recorded and verified.

As a result, production is not only executed, but also technically validated and retrospectively analyzable — enabling consistent reliability across different teams, timeframes and markets.

Climate Control

09. Climate Control

The quality and performance of IML labels depend not only on the printing process, but also on environmental conditions during production. For this reason, a dedicated climate-control system is used to maintain label stability and curing behavior.

Within this system, humidity is kept at approximately 50% and temperature is maintained at 24°C. This controlled environment reduces the risk of deformation, waviness and moisture-related changes after printing, helping preserve the physical integrity of the labels.

This balanced climate ensures that IML labels maintain consistent adhesion performance and surface quality from production through to application.

Our Markets
