Coatings
Special coatings are integral to enhancing the functionality, appearance, and protection of packaging materials. By offering a variety of formulations—solvent-based, water-based, and UV-curable—these coatings provide solutions for printability, durability, and barrier protection.
Water-Based Coatings:
- Water Repellent OPV: A water-resistant varnish ideal for paper substrates, enhancing durability and water repellency.
- High Rub OPV: Designed to deliver superior abrasion resistance, perfect for applications requiring high surface durability.
- General Purpose OPV: Versatile overprint varnish suitable for a wide range of substrates, providing balanced gloss and protection.
- Roller Coating Varnish: Optimized for roller coating applications, offering uniform coverage, quick drying, and a smooth finish.
- Matte Coating: A premium coating that delivers a soft, non-glossy finish, enhancing the tactile feel and visual appeal of printed surfaces.
- Ink Duct Coating: A specialized varnish designed for direct application through the ink duct system, ensuring smooth transfer, consistent film thickness, and excellent finish quality.
Barrier Coatings:
- Anchor Coat: A specialized coating for both absorbent and non-absorbent substrates, improving ink adhesion and surface preparation.
Why Barrier Coatings Matter:
- Shelf Life: Protect products from moisture and oxygen, extending freshness and preventing spoilage.
- Sustainability Foster eco-friendly, recyclable packaging solutions, reducing reliance on multi-layer laminates.
- Cost-Effectiveness Replaces complex, expensive multi-layer structures with efficient, recyclable alternatives.
Barrier coatings are driving innovations in the flexible packaging industry, providing essential protection while supporting sustainability and enhancing product performance.
