Our customised in-mould solutions enable permanent and tamper-proof labelling of plastic pallets, containers and trays in reusable applications. The label you choose is firmly integrated into the material during the injection moulding process, providing optimum protection against mechanical and chemical influences.

Whether as a barcode or RFID variant, the markings remain reliably legible even with intensive use. Regardless of exposure to abrasion, UV radiation, cleaning agents, weak acids or other chemicals. Our labels thus form the basis for secure identification, automated recording processes and complete traceability in demanding industrial and logistics environments.

Always individual. Always secure. Always inotec!

Curious? Let's talk!

I would be happy to advise you individually and accompany your project from development and testing through to production. Give me a call and arrange a no-obligation consultation appointment today.

Applications & examples

In-mould markings in a concrete environment

Our in-mould solutions are always manufactured to meet specific requirements. From research and development to manufacturing and installation, training and long-term service, we take care of everything and can therefore serve numerous industries.

Our in-mould labels are designed for use in food containers: they offer high-resolution printing, meet the strictest hygiene standards and remain durable even in humid or refrigerated environments.

Our in-mould labels ensure precise and permanent product identification. Firmly integrated into the plastic, they resist impact, UV radiation and chemicals, and remain legible even after intensive washing and reuse cycles on containers, bins and pallets.

Our in-mould labels provide aesthetic and informative labelling. On packaging such as jars, cans or buckets, they showcase brands in a high-quality manner and give products a premium look.
