Container Printing Services
Bring your brand to life with our bespoke container printing service, now available on select plastic buckets and tubs. Whether you’re packaging food products, industrial materials, or household goods, our In-Mould Labelling (IML) service ensures a high-quality, professional finish that lasts.
In-Mould Labelling (IML) on Buckets & Tubs
At Patrico, we know that packaging is more than just a container, it’s an extension of your brand. That’s why we offer custom IML printing on a range of our plastic packaging. It’s the ideal solution for customers looking to apply durable, eye-catching branding directly into the mould of the container itself.
Why Choose In-Mould Labelling (IML)?
Unlike traditional stick-on labels, IML fuses the label into the container during the manufacturing process. This not only enhances the look and feel of your product but offers a range of practical benefits:
- Permanent branding – The label becomes part of the container, meaning no peeling, scratching or fading.
- Waterproof & durable – Ideal for food-grade and industrial applications where moisture or handling is a concern.
- Resistant to wear & tear – Perfect for products that need to stay looking good through storage, transport, and use.
- Cost-effective at scale – Save time and reduce labour costs by removing the need for separate labelling.
Please note: IML printing is available for high volume orders only and is subject to minimum order quantities (MOQs). Get in touch with us to discuss your requirements.

If your product needs to look great, last long, and comply with labelling regulations, IML printing could be the ideal solution.
How it works
In-mould labelling involves placing a pre-printed label inside the mould before the plastic is injected. The result? A seamless, tamper-resistant label that’s part of the container itself.
