IML(Beverage Cup)

Yangbo Industry, leveraging its leading In-Mold Labeling (IML) technology and advanced automation capabilities, delivers comprehensive transformation solutions for global brands — from production efficiency to end-user aesthetics.

Features of IML Beverage Cups

Traditional labeling often faces challenges in cold-chain environments, such as peeling corners or moisture damage. Yangbo’s IML technology fuses the label and cup body during injection molding, completely eliminating these commercial pain points:

  • Visual Excellence: Supports 360° full-color printing with high saturation, plus special effects such as partial transparency, matte finishes, and metallic textures — ensuring maximum shelf appeal.

  • Physical Durability: Offers outstanding resistance to scratches, abrasion, low-temperature refrigeration, and high-temperature hot filling. Labels remain permanently bonded, safeguarding brand integrity.

  • Security & Anti-Counterfeiting: With the label and container integrated as one inseparable unit, the packaging provides inherent anti-counterfeit protection, ensuring consumer trust.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Yangbo Industry is dedicated to yield optimization and reliable supply, ensuring that every production batch meets the most rigorous international standards through its intelligent manufacturing systems and advanced laboratories.

  • Precision Heat-Sealing Technology: Automated monitoring guarantees consistent sealing temperatures, which is critical for the stability of automated filling and sealing lines, effectively enhancing customer production efficiency.

  • Exclusive Automated Stamping Equipment: Our self-developed slicing and stamping processes minimize the risk of foreign particle contamination, meeting the stringent purity requirements of medical-grade and premium food-grade applications.

  • Stable Mold Development and Production Capacity: With high-precision mold development capabilities and multi-cavity automated injection machines, we deliver consistent batch quality and support large-volume orders.

  • Comprehensive International Food Safety Certifications: The entire facility is certified under ISO 22000, FSSC 22000, and HACCP, and we provide complete Declarations of Conformity (DoC) and SGS inspection reports to help food manufacturers easily pass audits and customs clearance.

  • 100% Cleanroom Production: Molding and labeling processes are carried out in strictly controlled cleanroom environments, effectively managing particulates and microorganisms to meet sterile food-grade packaging standards.

  • Customized Visual and Textural Effects: Offering 360° full-wrap printing with options such as gloss, matte, metallic (Metallic IML), and localized orange-peel embossing, we create differentiated products with distinctive aesthetics.

Dairy & Yogurt Processing

Applications: Greek yogurt cups, fresh milk cups, probiotic drink bottles, dual-compartment fruit cups, cheese/butter containers. Factory Requirements: In refrigerated environments (2–4°C), condensation easily forms. With IML packaging, the label and cup body are seamlessly integrated, ensuring 100% waterproof and moisture resistance — labels never peel or mold. High-barrier materials effectively block light and oxygen, extending the shelf life of dairy products.

 Ice Cream & Frozen Desserts

Applications: Family-size ice cream tubs, single-serve ice cream cups, sorbet cups, frozen pudding containers. Factory Requirements: Able to withstand ultra-low temperatures from -18°C to -40°C during blast freezing. IML labels remain flawless and smooth even under extreme cold-chain logistics and frost, overcoming the peeling or tearing issues common with traditional labels.

 Retort & Ready-to-Eat Meals

Applications: Microwave-ready meal trays, retort soup bowls, baby food containers, sauce cups. Factory Requirements: Resistant to pasteurization and high-temperature, high-pressure sterilization (Retort, 121°C). Labels do not deform, fade, or release harmful substances. Containers support direct microwave heating, meeting consumer convenience demands.

 Beverages & RTD Coffee

Applications: On-the-go cups, cold brew coffee cups, premium cups for chain tea shops, juice bottles. Factory Requirements: Compatible with high-speed automated filling and sealing machines (e.g., aluminum foil or PP film sealing). Cup rims remain precise and stable, ensuring 100% leak-proof sealing. At the same time, 360° high-resolution visuals maximize shelf appeal.

US & EU Food Processing Plants – ESG & Food Safety

  • Mono-Material Eco Design: Both cup body and IML label use PP (polypropylene), enabling full-cup recycling without separation. Perfectly aligned with EU and US regulations on PP recycling and ESG carbon reduction.

  • Solvent-Free Printing & Low-Migration Inks: Food-grade inks comply with FDA (21 CFR) and EU No. 10/2011 food-contact regulations. Free of benzene, ketones, and solvent residues, ensuring no ink migration into food.

APAC & Chain Packaging – Automation & Cost Efficiency

  • High-Speed Denesting & Stacking: Containers feature anti-jamming and automatic release structures, compatible with denesting machines. Smooth feeding at hundreds of cups per minute reduces downtime significantly.

  • High Strength & Impact Resistance: Optimized wall thickness and structural rigidity ensure durability during automated filling, capping, boxing, and long-distance cold-chain transport, reducing packaging waste and breakage rates.
