Abstract
It is provided a container having at least in one part a textured surface (12), wherein the container (10) has an in-mold label (14) on the textured surface (12). An in-mold label (14) on a textured surface (12) dispenses with the need to provide a smooth area on an otherwise textured container (10) for attaching the label thereto. This facilitates the fabrication of containers (10) with textured surface (12). An in-mold label (14) on a textured surface (12) further provides a visually and/or haptically appealing labeling which provides a good durability on the surface.
