Europe: RPC Bebo Plastik presents in-mold label thermoforming system at interpack 2014

RPC Bebo Plastik will introduce its in-mold label thermoforming system, an enhanced decoration process, at interpack from May 8 to 14 at Dusseldorf, Germany.

The process applies pre-printed labels to the container during the thermoforming process, enabling high quality intricate designs in up to eight colors to be incorporated to achieve a better level of finish and greater coverage of the container than direct printing.

The flexible process enables labels to be applied to round or rectangular containers, including the recently-launched Bebo Swing and Bebo Twist variants, and multi-compartment versions.

It can also handle containers at various weight, as well as barrier and non-barrier, and bi-color packs.

Manufacturers can apply a special lacquer to the labels for barrier containers to enable them to withstand the autoclave process.

The label options include five-sided, three sided, banderole with or without bottom label, two half banderoles with separate bottom label and bottom only, allowing manufacturers to tailor the pack design to their precise product and branding requirements.
