Decorating Capabilities
Poly-Tone™ High-Definition Printing (PT-HD)
Polytainers developed Poly-ToneTM HD (PT-HD) in 2012, a proprietary and cost-effective dry offset process. PT-HD produces TruToneTM high-resolution photographic images with the decorating quality of in-mold labeling and shrink sleeving by digitally exposing images directly onto plates resulting in superior quality and productivity.
Both our Lee’s Summit and Toronto facilities are equipped with high-speed PT-HD printers capable of process printing up to 8 colors on both cups and lids.

In-Mold Labeling (IML)
The IML process involves robotically placing a pre-printed die-cut polypropylene label into a mold prior to polypropylene being injected thereby fusing the label to the container or lid. The result is a durable, scratch-resistant package decorated with high-quality graphics. Combined with a distinctive opaque or transparent container or lid, the process produces a broad range of appealing design combinations to draw attention to your product.
Polytainers also provides an in-house IML label management program.
