Why IML is Perfectly Poised for Men’s Grooming Products When it comes to men’s products, presentation is just as crucial as performance. Our IML technology allows brands to craft visually appealing packaging that effortlessly enhances the shelf appeal. Unlike traditional stickers, IML labels provide high-definition imagery and a smooth, seamless finish that elevates the product’s overall aesthetic. For men’s grooming items, especially hair styling products, a significant amount of shelf space is typically given to the lid-forward display. With IML, brands can make use of the full lid surface, incorporating custom designs and vibrant colors that command attention on the shelf. This approach not only attracts new customers but also aligns with the inclusive and aspirational values today’s male consumers seek in their products.

Men's Beauty Packaging Trends

Meeting the Demand for Diverse and Inclusive Packaging Modern men’s grooming products must appeal to a broad spectrum of individuals across ages and backgrounds. As men explore new products—from anti-aging serums to high-performance moisturizers—they’re drawn to brands that champion inclusivity and authenticity. IML makes it easier to incorporate visually inclusive designs on both jars and caps, which allows brands to echo their message of diversity and sophistication, making each product universally appealing while maintaining a distinctive aesthetic.

Supporting New Product Innovations, Such as All-Over Deodorants In men’s grooming, the trend toward all-over deodorants is rapidly gaining momentum. Products in this segment are designed to offer full-body protection, making them a popular choice for the modern, active man. IML’s advanced labeling technology ensures that packaging for these products remains durable, vibrant, and resilient under various conditions—whether in a gym bag, at the office, or on the go.

Transforming Hair Styling Products with IML Jars for pomades, waxes, and styling creams benefit immensely from IML’s full-lid coverage, enabling intricate designs that resonate with men who value style as much as function. As men continue to experiment with their looks and invest in hair styling products, brands can leverage IML’s versatile and durable finishes to meet and exceed their expectations or to educate men on product application techniques right on the cap.
