Precision engineering: our injection molds are manufactured in-house using high-speed CNC machining centers and wire-EDM equipment. Mold cavitation ranges from 2-cavity (for large containers) to 16-cavity (for small cups), with cycle times of 4-8 seconds per shot depending on container geometry and wall thickness. This high-speed production capability enables competitive per-unit pricing even at modest order volumes.

Globale Standards
Material science: all containers are injection-molded from food-grade polypropylene (PP) conforming to EU Regulation 10/2011 and FDA 21 CFR Part 177. Our PP formulations deliver exceptional clarity, i...
Our IML automation cells use Fanuc and ABB robotic systems for label placement, container extraction, and quality inspection. Vision systems verify label position accuracy, color consistency, and container dimensional compliance at line speed — 100% inline inspection with zero sampling dependency. Reject rates across all IML products average 0.15%, making Brosan one of the highest-yield IML producers in the Eastern Mediterranean region.
Lid programs: every container in our portfolio has a matching injection-molded lid with a precision snap-fit mechanism engineered for secure closure and easy opening. Lid options include flat press-on, tamper-evident with tear-band, and re-closable flip-top configurations. All lids are available with IML decoration to create a unified brand presentation on shelf.
“Supply chain excellence: we maintain 6-week rolling production schedules aligned to customer forecasts, with finished goods buffer stock covering 2-4 weeks of demand. Our logistics network delivers door-to-door to any European destination within 5-7 business days of dispatch. For high-volume customers, we offer dedicated production slots and vendor-managed inventory (VMI) programs.”
Cross-platform synergy: our IML injection containers complement our Thermoform Containers for non-IML applications, Plastic Lids range for universal closure solutions, and Deli Containers for clear-view foodservice packaging. Together, these product families create a complete plastic food packaging portfolio from a single certified source.
Technical specifications: wall thickness 0.4-1.2mm depending on application, PP melt flow index 25-45 g/10min (optimized for thin-wall injection), container weight range 5g (small cups) to 85g (5L buckets), IML label material 50-70 micron biaxially-oriented PP film, print resolution up to 175 lpi (photographic quality). All containers are stackable with 1:8 taper ratio for efficient logistics.
Custom mold development: our in-house tooling facility operates 5-axis CNC machining centers, wire-EDM machines, and mirror-polish finishing equipment. Mold steel grades include P20, H13, and S136 depending on expected production volumes. We offer mold lifecycle management including preventive maintenance, refurbishment, and multi-generation design evolution.
“Regulatory compliance: every container we produce carries full material traceability documentation including PP resin batch certificates, IML ink migration testing reports (per EU Regulation 10/2011 Annex III), and overall migration testing results. We maintain a dedicated regulatory affairs specialist on staff to support customer compliance requirements.”

Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: What is In-Mold Labeling (IML) and why is it superior?
A: IML fuses a pre-printed PP label directly into the container wall during injection molding, creating a permanent, photorealistic decoration. Unlike adhesive labels, IML cannot peel, wrinkle, or fade. It provides 360-degree brand coverage with premium retail shelf impact.
Q2: What container shapes and sizes do you offer?
A: We produce cylindrical (200ml-5L), round bowls (100ml-2L), rectangular (250ml-3L), and oval-rectangular (300ml-2.5L) containers. Each shape is available with matching snap-fit lids in flat, tamper-evident, and re-closable configurations.
Q3: What is the production lead time for IML containers?
A: For existing mold geometries with new IML artwork, lead time is 3-4 weeks. For custom container geometries requiring new mold manufacturing, lead time is 8-12 weeks including tooling, sampling, and production ramp-up.
