The developers have taken care to preserve the good, sharpen the existing technology and incorporate the new. This innovative application can be produced on ILLIG IML-T\u00ae systems.<\/p>\n<p>The Heilbronn-based system supplier of machines and moulds for thermoforming, ILLIG Maschinenbau GmbH &amp; Co. KG (Heilbronn), has added IML-T\u00ae Cardboard to its range of applications with <strong>In-mould labelling in thermoforming<\/strong>. IML-T\u00ae means that the packaging is decorated during thermoforming.<\/p>\n<p>The IML label, which is precisely inserted into the thermoforming tool before the moulding process, bonds perfectly with the plastic film as it is formed into the finished packaging. The end result is packaging that is decorated in a single operation. The IML-T\u00ae technology developed by ILLIG enables <strong>Individual all-round decoration options<\/strong> with labels made of plastic, paper and now cardboard.<\/p><div class=\"packa-in-post-alle\" style=\"text-align: center;\" id=\"packa-3973225244\"><div id=\"packa-4260962786\"><a data-no-instant=\"1\" href=\"https:\/\/packaging-journal.de\/en\/newsletter\/\" rel=\"noopener\" class=\"a2t-link\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"PJ Self-promotion English 03\"><!--noptimize--><img src=\"https:\/\/packaging-journal.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/PJ-Eigenwerbung-English-03.png\" alt=\"\"  srcset=\"https:\/\/packaging-journal.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/PJ-Eigenwerbung-English-03.png 840w, https:\/\/packaging-journal.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/PJ-Eigenwerbung-English-03-300x75.png 300w, https:\/\/packaging-journal.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/PJ-Eigenwerbung-English-03-768x192.png 768w, https:\/\/packaging-journal.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/PJ-Eigenwerbung-English-03-18x5.png 18w, https:\/\/packaging-journal.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/PJ-Eigenwerbung-English-03-332x83.png 332w, https:\/\/packaging-journal.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/PJ-Eigenwerbung-English-03-664x166.png 664w, https:\/\/packaging-journal.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/PJ-Eigenwerbung-English-03-688x172.png 688w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 840px) 100vw, 840px\" width=\"840\" height=\"210\"  style=\" max-width: 100%; height: auto;\" \/><!--\/noptimize--><\/a><\/div><\/div>\n<figure id=\"attachment_25216\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-25216\" style=\"width: 920px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-25216\" title=\"Good!
