Abstract
The invention provides novel processes for producing in-mold labeled containers and the containers produced using such processes. The processes involve setting a multilayered label having an oxygen barrier layer into a mold and injecting a melted resin suitable for forming a container into the mold. The process forms a container with an oxygen barrier layer. In preferred embodiments, the multilayered label has at least an oxygen absorbing resin layer containing ethylene-vinyl alcohol copolymer and an oxygen absorbent and the container is retortable.
