Topline IML tubes

Production-ready, in-mold-labeled (IML) tubes for personal care and beauty products feature enhanced graphics for outstanding shelf presence. The package is the result of a partnership between cosmetics packaging supplier Topline Products and Viva Healthcare, an injection-molded tube specialist. The process combines the decorating and molding of polypropylene tubes into one simple procedure, eliminating any post-mold printing or labeling operations and costs. It embeds photographic-quality artwork into the wall of the tube, with total surface decoration even into the crimp area, for true-to-life, eye-catching graphics that are durable and resistant to fading or scuffing. From a sustainable standpoint, the new IML tubes have a recycling code of #5 and use less resin compared to traditional tubes.
