At Safelylock, In-Mold Labeling (IML) cannabis packaging delivers cost-effective, precise, and long-lasting branding for pre-roll tubes and cylindrical packaging. In a highly regulated industry where labeling failures create compliance risks, operational inefficiencies, and brand damage, IML eliminates common issues like peeling, creasing, and label misalignment. By molding the label directly into the packaging, IML pre-roll tubes provide durable, accurate, and sustainable cannabis packaging that protects product integrity while reducing long-term labeling costs.
That’s why leading brands are adopting IML cannabis packaging as a smarter, more durable solution.
Lower Total Cost of Ownership with IML Cannabis Packaging
While traditional labels may appear less expensive upfront, they often introduce hidden costs over the life of a product. IML cannabis packaging reduces total packaging costs by eliminating several inefficiencies.
With IML:
Labeling and molding occur in a single automated process
Secondary labeling steps are eliminated
Labor, handling, and production errors are reduced
Relabeling and rejected units are virtually eliminated
For cannabis brands running medium- to high-volume packaging programs, these efficiencies result in lower cost per unit over time, making IML one of the most cost-effective labeling solutions available.
Biodegradable & Sustainable IML Packaging Options
Sustainability is increasingly important in cannabis packaging decisions. IML packaging supports environmentally responsible design by reducing material waste and improving recyclability.
IML labels are typically made from the same material as the container, which:
Eliminates adhesive contamination
Improves recyclability
Reduces mixed-material waste
Safelylock also offers biodegradable cannabis packaging options that can be paired with IML, allowing brands to combine durability, accuracy, and sustainability in a single packaging solution.
Built-In Compliance Information That Stays Intact
Cannabis packaging must remain compliant throughout its entire lifecycle. With IML:
Compliance information is permanently embedded
Required text stays legible and undamaged
Packaging integrity is maintained from production to retail
This reduces the risk of compliance issues caused by damaged or unreadable labels—a common problem with traditional labeling methods.
Precision & Accuracy Built into Every Container
Accuracy is critical in cannabis packaging—especially for brand consistency and compliance information. Unlike pressure-sensitive labels that can shift or misalign, In-Mold Labeling cannabis packaging delivers repeatable precision.
IML ensures:
Exact label placement on every unit
Consistent branding across production runs
Clean, high-resolution graphics
Permanent alignment on cylindrical containers
This level of accuracy is especially important for pre-roll tubes, where curved surfaces make traditional labeling unreliable.
Because the label is fused directly into the container during molding:
There are no label edges
No adhesives to fail
No bubbling, peeling, or creasing
This makes IML cannabis packaging ideal for pre-roll tubes that must withstand shipping, storage, and daily handling in dispensary environments.
No Peeling, No Creasing — Ideal for Pre-Roll Tubes
One of the biggest advantages of IML pre-roll tubes is durability.
Traditional labels on cannabis packaging often fail due to:
Creasing during application
Edge lift on curved surfaces
Peeling from handling, cleaning, or temperature changes
IML eliminates these issues completely.
Because the label is fused directly into the container during molding:
There are no label edges
No adhesives to fail
No bubbling, peeling, or creasing
This makes IML cannabis packaging ideal for pre-roll tubes that must withstand shipping, storage, and daily handling in dispensary environments.
