In-mould labelling process

摘要

There is disclosed an in-mould (61) labelling process for the manufacture of a labelled article comprising the steps of: feeding a labelstock web (2) into a mould; forming an article in the mould such that the formed article contacts and effectively adheres to a label of the labelstock web; detaching the adhered label from the labelstock web; and removing the formed and labelled article from the mould. At least one of the mould parts comprises a slit or tunnel (63) which intersects the mould cavity.
