So, you should always keep your brand goals and objectives in mind while designing the in-mould label. This is also true in the case of the container. The design of the package should be in sync with the sort of idea that you have about your brand. If you have a quirky image for your brand, then the packaging should also be bright and colourful but if it is a mundane and simple branding that you want, then you should opt for a more professional packaging.
2. Understand the Type of Container You Need
Next, the most important thing that you have to keep in mind while considering your in-mould labels is the type of container you have. Do you want it to be a round or a 5 sided container? Do you want it smooth or textured? What kind of finish do you prefer- glossy, clear, or white? Or what kind of a resin do you want to use? Make sure you answer these questions before deciding on the product packaging. All these answers will have a close relation to your brand ideals and how your brand is reflected in the product through these small nuances. So, you should look at the type of container while designing the in-mould labels. Understand that the container you choose might not be flat but the label will be. So, how will you apply the label on this kind of a container which is not flat? You need to resort to some kind of warping while trying to make such a thing look good.
