Premium Packaging

YUPO In-Mold-Label (IML) grades are synthetic label substrates that give you the freedom of being able to create blow-molded bottles of any design or shape. YUPO IML is a fully recyclable decoration solution that has no liner or liner waste and does not use any adhesive glue. Available in opaque, clear and metallic, YUPO IML substrates allow you to work with recessed panels, inclines, asymmetrical features and applications like hot foil and fluorescent and metallic inks.
