Grafiche Lama was established in 1973.
Located in Piacenza (Italy) - at only one hour drive from Milan airports - it specializes in the production and export of IML labels for the permanent decoration of plastic containers and various items. Such labels are made of the same material as the item to be decorated. They are applied during the manufacturing process - by injection molding, blow molding or thermoforming - in order to obtain an eye-catching and very resistant, indelible and long-lasting decoration.
Since all job steps are carried out internally - consultancy and graphic design, pre-printing, printing and die-cutting -, high quality of service, flexibility and speed in delivery are guaranteed.
The Customer Experience is enhanced by the direct contact with company experts for an extremely fast and effective decision-making process.
"A job well done requires the knowledge of the entire downstream production process in order to support the customer in selecting the most suitable equipment for a specific production, such as robots, presses, moulds ..."
Customers are supported in identifying and implementing a solution to any problem that may arise during the start-up step, especially when the IML is faced for the first time.
Grafiche Lama produces IML labels in PP, PET, PC, PE, HDPE, PMMA, PS, SAN, NYLON.
In-Mould labelling is obtained by inserting the label into the mould used to produce the item to be decorated. Since they are both made of the same plastic material, the blending of the label with the component results into a smooth surface with indelible decorations, resistant to wear, temperature changes, humidity and adverse weather conditions. Such properties make this technology ideal for the decoration of a variety of products, such as food and frozen food containers as well as for durable goods, outdoor furniture and countless other applications.
In addition to reducing time and costs of the production cycle, this technology ensures complete recyclability of containers and manufactured products since labels don’t need to be separated from the surface on which they are glued.
The services offered by Grafiche Lama In-Mould Labels include those that made the company grow over time:
