There is disclosed a method of manufacturing an in-mold labelled article, the method comprising the steps of: placing a label comprising a film having a core comprising polypropylene/polyethylene random copolymer as its principal polymeric constituent into a mold for injection molding, thermoforming, or blow molding; holding the label in position; injecting a polymeric melt into, or thermoforming or blowing a polymeric preform in said mold so as to bind with the label; and removing the article from the mold. A process of in-mold labelling using such a label is also disclosed.

A label for in-mold molding, which comprises a laminate film comprising a substrate layer (A) and a heat-sealable resin layer (B), wherein the substrate layer (A) comprises a thermoplastic resin in an amount of from 40 to 90% by weight and at least one of an inorganic fine powder and an organic filler in an amount of from 10 to 60% by weight, the heat-sealable resin layer (B) comprises a thermoplastic resin in an amount of from 50 to 100% by weight, the laminate film is at least uniaxially stretched, the porosity of the laminate film is from 10% to 45%, the thermal conductivity of the label is from 0.04 to 0.11 W/mK, and the bonding strength of the label stuck to an adherend formed of a propylene-based resin at 200 C. and 60 MPa is from 250 to 1500 g/15 mm.

A tool and method for forming a container from a construct. The tool comprising a cavity for receiving a construct, a core operatively associated with the cavity and being operable to move into the cavity, an injection cavity for receiving injection-molding material and directing injection-molding material around at least a portion of the perimeter of the construct, and a clamping feature. The clamping feature is operatively connected to at least one of the cavity and the core and is for clamping a peripheral portion of the construct as the core moves into the cavity to form the construct into the container.

A packaging article for containing and holding food products includes a barrier layer for limiting permeability of oxygen through and into the article and an oxygen scavenging layer, which oxygen scavenging layer together with a second plastic material is contained within a cavity in a first plastic material forming walls, bottom(s) and lid(s) of the packaging article, which first plastic material is suitable for contact with food products. A method of manufacturing a packaging finished in one injection molding cycle includes placing the barrier layer in a mold, injecting the first plastic material suitable for contact with food products into the mold, and injecting the second plastic material with the oxygen scavenger into the mold.

A packaging embodiment with a RFID/NFC label containing various information about the product (production place, production date, logistics history, departure date from the dealer etc.). Whereon the end user sees the information by placing a RFID/NFC label between a IML/BML label in any package (can, plastic can, cap, bucket, bottle etc.) where the IML (In mould Labelling) and the BML (Blow Moulding Labelling) labels contain the package container, in-moulding label, and RFID/NFC label.

Provided is a decorated molding article includes a workpiece and a molded film attached to an outer surface of the workpiece or an inner surface of the workpiece. Compared with the printing layer in the conventional In Mold Label (IML) and InSert molding (INS) that is made by a plurality of anti-impact and bonding processes, a plurality of stacked decorative layers of the embodiment not only provide various color effects, but also directly combined with injection molding material to form part products and have both a protection effect and an adhesive effect. Further, the present disclosure can effectively simplify the manufacturing steps of the composite layer structure and reduce the manufacturing cost.

A method of providing an electrically conductive layer to a plastic splice housing for electromagnetically shielded cable harnesses includes providing an electrically conductive film and a mold, inserting the film into the mold, and injecting plastic into the mold so that the plastic bonds with the electrically conductive film, thereby forming an integrated conductive layer on the plastic housing suitable for electromagnetic shielding.
