Trexel, Inc is pleased to make the global introduction of their MuCell� 3D in mold labeling (IML) process for packaging applications. This unique and award winning process creates the look of embossed labeling on the package without any need for additional tooling costs. Instead the "embossed" look comes from the enablement of 3D labels.
