The Specialty Types of Coating
Montebello Container Company has many options when it comes to coating corrugated sheets to meet a multitude of packaging needs. These options include:
1. Esthetic Coating
Flood coated color
A solid color coating involves the application of GCMI, PMS or PMS Color Matched ink to the outside liner at the corrugator. The process allows the brand’s packaging to stand out in cluttered displays and to appeal to new market audiences. The coating can be done on white, Kemilite clay coated white, or Kraft paper.
2. Functional Coating
Functional coating is used to protect and provide additional resistance to the corrugated product like moisture, grease, and abrasive resistance properties.
Michelmann Coatings
Michelmann coatings are the most popular and provide high durability within challenging environments, including for food services process, medical products, and other sensitive materials. The coatings are designed for lasting performance and have been specifically environmentally-tested. They are FDA-approved and provide a great solution for grease and oil barriers on the inside or outside of the sheet.
Barrier Coatings
Barrier coating products provide water, grease and oil resistance and are FDA-approved for use in the pharmaceuticals and food services industry. The coatings can be used on the outside of the sheet, providing an extra layer of protection.
Waxed Impregnated Medium (WIM) Coatings
One of the main challenges associated with shipping perishable items overseas is that these goods can be subject to damage by air and moisture. Using waxed coatings on packaging helps to protect goods and ensure they arrive at the customer in the ideal condition. This is mainly used in the agricultural sector.
