Basics of in-mold labeling to be presented.

The "ABCs of IML: A Basic Course" will be presented Thursday, March 27, 2008, at the DoubleTree Hotel & Conference Center Chicago North Shore, Skokie, IL, USA.

Offered annually since 1989, this seminar is an introductory in-mold labeling (IML) course designed for those considering entry into the IML market as well as a refresher course for more experienced current participants in the field. The seminar, updated yearly, provides a basic grounding in in-mold labeling as well as the fundamentals of extrusion blow molding, injection IML, the in-mold process, production of in-mold labels, current markets, functions across the IML value chain, and future growth opportunities. The seminar was recently expanded beyond packaging to include in-mold decoration of durable products.

The seminar is presented by RBS Technologies Inc., a consulting firm serving the flexible packaging, labeling and converting industries and their suppliers.
