When selecting a plastic ice cream container manufacturer, what should be considered?

1. Understand the IML container


With advancements in injection molding automation, in-mold labeling (IML) technology has gained popularity worldwide. The industry favors IML products for their numerous advantages, including high definition, three-dimensional effect, scratch resistance, enhanced packaging aesthetics, improved economic benefits, environmental protection, and enhanced anti-counterfeiting measures.

IML technology has been developed and maturely applied in various products for many years in Europe, the United States, and Japan. In European and American container labels, the proportion of in-mold labels used is about 12%. Thin-walled plastic containers with IML can be divided into two main systems globally. In North America, blow molding technology is primarily used for liquid detergent, fabric softener, personal care, and hair care products. In contrast, injection molding technology is mainly used in Europe for ice cream, margarine, and butter, and in-mold labeling (IML) paint cans are also prevalent in Europe.


2.What are the main attributes that potential Chinese In-Mold Labeling (IML) thin-walled ice cream container manufacturers need to consider?


  1. Response Time: It is essential to consider the response or delivery time. Choose a manufacturer who can deliver the final product to your doorstep within the shortest possible lead time, regardless of seasonal demand.

  2. Technology: The best Chinese manufacturers possess the latest and most updated technology. Determine if the manufacturer has in-house injection molding IML, blow molding IML, and thermoforming IML capabilities.

  3. Printing Quality and Price: The best Chinese IML thin-wall plastic ice cream container manufacturer pays close attention to the printing quality and offers the most reasonable price for its final products. The container should also be scratch-resistant, less prone to cracking, highly attractive in decoration, and of great scope.

  4. Eco-friendly Materials: The raw materials used by the Chinese manufacturer should be 100% environmentally friendly. The recyclability of the ice cream container should be the most important attribute when identifying any Chinese manufacturer of IML thin-walled plastic packaging for ice cream.

  5. Temperature Resistance: The final IML thin-walled plastic container should be able to withstand temperature changes, particularly for frozen products like ice cream.

  6. Design Flexibility: The best IML thin-wall plastic ice cream container manufacturers will carry the most advanced technology, allowing their customers (ice cream producers) to change the entire design without any waste and additional costs.
