Barrier IML is the most efficient and sustainable technique for producing plastic packaging with a barrier function.
As the name suggests, the IML barrier forms a barrier between the contents of the packaging and (potentially) harmful external environmental factors.
In a single operation, thanks to the use of a multi-layer IML film, combine the advantages ofhigh-quality IML decoration with a barrier function.
Barrier IML significantly simplifies the production process:
The packaging is produced and decorated in a single operation.
Supply chain optimization: Warehousing and transportation costs are now a thing of the past.
This leads to a reduction in energy consumption and CO₂ emissions.
You can thus transform your existing packaging into packaging with active barrier IML with minimal investment.
MCC Verstraete offers two main types of IML barrier labels: IML labels with oxygen barrier and the IML labels with light barrier.

An IML label with an oxygen barrier reduces the oxygen transmission rate of IML packaging thanks to the EVOH layer of the IML film. The OTR (Oxygen Transmission Rate) value of packaging with an IML label with an oxygen barrier can be up to a hundred times lower than packaging with a standard IML label.
Some food products are sensitive to light. With IML light barrier labels, the contents of your packaging are protected from daylight and/or UV rays. There are two types of IML light barrier labels:
IML labels with barrier and Ella Cappuccino: coffee with a lastingly preserved taste
Extended shelf life for Naturcrem creamy soups thanks to barrier IML packaging
Stunning: The Oxygen Barrier IML label seals in the taste and freshness of Scarpetta sauces
