Aqueous Folding Carton Coatings

Cork’s Aqueous Folding Carton Coatings are formulated to achieve the functional qualities required such as slip resistance, print protection, and rub resistance, as well as a host of other important qualities needed for today’s folding cartons. Cork’s superior grease and water resistance is perfect for cartons requiring FDA approval for direct or indirect food contact.

Cork designs coatings from the cost effective functional coatings to the high gloss appearance coatings. Various Coefficients of Friction (CoFs) can be supplied depending upon your packaging requirements. Cork’s high gloss and high slip coatings are formulated to actually dry on customer’s existing equipment. Cork offers multiple formulations of folding carton coatings in a range of CoFs and glosses, from High Gloss to Satin to Matte based upon your needs and existing equipment.
