Paint Bucket

YZY has extensive experience in implementing long-term projects for Paint Bucket manufacturing and is familiar with the actual working conditions in the coatings industry, such as storage and transportation in warehouses, outdoor storage, solvent contact, and long-distance logistics. Relying on its own laboratory and a complete certification system, it provides stable in-mold label solutions for domestic and foreign coatings brands, meeting the requirements of large-capacity industrial plastic bucket batch production.

Why is it suitable for the paint industry?

Paint and waterproof coatings belong to heavy-duty chemical products, and the packaging buckets need to face multiple complex real-world environments.

After the paint buckets are filled in the factory, they will be stacked and stored in multiple layers, transported by container ships on long-distance voyages, and stored outdoors in the building materials market.

The bucket body will come into contact with paint volatile solvents, rainwater, and ultraviolet sunlight. Ordinary self-adhesive labels are prone to arched up, bubbling, edge detachment, and label fading. Once the color code and safety warning information becomes blurred, it can directly cause incorrect shipment of goods and terminal misuse, leading to brand compliance risks.

The Paint Bucket is integrated with the bucket body and has no glue layer. It is not eroded by solvents or water vapor, and the warning instructions and product parameters can be clearly retained for a long time.

The distribution chain of building materials is long, from the coating factory to distributors and construction site terminals. The integrity of the packaging appearance directly affects the professional image of the brand. The IML in-mold label precisely addresses the industry pain points of label failure in the packaging circulation chain of paint packaging.

At the same time, it can achieve large-area full-tank printing, with high color reproduction accuracy, and help coating brands achieve differentiated display on the building materials shelves.

Notes for Attention

1. The in-mold labels are compatible with PP plastic paint buckets and are not applicable to containers made of other materials. During the project's early stage, the raw material formula of the bucket body needs to be confirmed.

2. UV resistance is an optional customized configuration. If the product is to be stored outdoors for a long time, the anti-UV film material needs to be specified in advance. Ordinary labels do not have strong resistance to ultraviolet rays.

3. Although the labels are resistant to solvents, the bucket body itself cannot be soaked in strong corrosive chemicals for a long time. It is a decorative label for the container and does not equate to the container's anti-corrosion performance.

4. The design draft must follow the chemical packaging layout standards. Warning text and parameter fonts should reserve injection stretch allowance to avoid font compression and blurring after molding. We can provide design review suggestions.

5. The storage of label raw materials requires protection from light and constant temperature to prevent the film material from aging prematurely and ensure the good printing machine operation rate.

FAQ

Q1: Will the paint bucket bubble off or fall off if the paint solvent evaporates?

A: The label is fused with the bucket body without a glue layer. It can withstand the regular solvent of the paint and is suitable for the paint bucket application.

Q2: Can the IML label be directly used on the old injection-molded paint bucket?

A: Sample of the bucket and mold parameters need to be provided to assess the stretch and demolding compatibility of the label.

Q3: Can all the safety warnings, color codes, and QR codes be printed on the in-mold label?

A: Yes, we support it. We can integrate all packaging information to reduce the post-labelling process.

Q4: Will the label fade quickly when placed in an open construction materials market?

A: An anti-UV special film material can be selected. Ordinary labels are not suitable for long-term exposure to the sun.

Q5: Can you provide relevant qualification documents for chemical packaging?

A: The company has BRC and ISO system certifications and can provide batch detection data for the film material.

Q6: Do different formulations of water-based paints and waterproof coatings require label adjustments?

A: For some high-volatile products, we will adjust the label material selection based on the initial working conditions assessment.

Q7: What technical expertise does your company have in in-mold labels for industrial containers?

A: We have 48 patents, a research and development laboratory, and have been serving multiple domestic and international coating brands for a long time.
