Metallic IMLINK

In addition to metallic IML labels based on cold foil, MCC Verstraete now also produces IML labels printed with UV metallic ink (Metallic IML^INK). The metallic effect is no longer achieved by the type of foil used, but by using silver ink. By printing traditional IML labels with metallic silver ink, MCC Verstraete offers a less expensive alternative for packaging for which the premium solution of metallic IML labels is not an option.

By using metallic silver ink, MCC Verstraete achieves a final result that is very similar to rotogravure and flexography, but at a significantly lower price and with all the advantages of sheet-fed offset printing. Unilever was the first customer to choose our new solution for margarine packaging. On the shelves, our IML labels with metallic silver ink make a real difference.
