Color-changing ink

Using temperature-activated inks supplied by LCR Hallcrest, the co. is able to produce in-mold labels that change color when activated by hot, cold or “touch” through body heat. These labels have been shown to effectively withstand the high temperatures of the in-mold process. Thermochromic ink, used in place of standard ink on-press, changes from white to a designated color once activated. This technology can be used for both novelty/marketing purposes and practical/safety purposes. Custom colors are available. However, the standard color-change options are black, blue, red, orange, green, magenta, purple and turquoise. Metallic labels and rollfed labels for injection in-mold products are also available to allow customers to create graphics that have a highly reflective metallic look for eye-catching graphics on many injection in-mold products or parts.
