Coatings for corrugated board
If your sheet plant would like to upsell to existing customers or win new business, coated cardboard material can add significant value to the packaging you manufacture.
Coatings for corrugated board can provide water resistance, Pantone-matched colours, and protection against static, corrosion, and abrasion. Sheet plants can easily convert coated boards to produce corrugated packaging with these specialist properties.
At GWP Coatings, our specialist in-house equipment coats corrugated boards from 200 square meters of material, with a 48-hour lead time. Working to ISO quality standards ensures consistent, high-quality coverage and performance. We can also coat boards that you supply, or provide pre-coated materials in a wide range of grades, as part of a confidential trade service.

FAQs
What are the maximum and minimum sizes of coated board?
GWP Coatings offers a wide variety of board sizes tailored to your specific application or requirements. However, the minimum board size is 250 x 600 mm, while the absolute maximum is 1500 x 4000 mm.
Can you coat material supplied by sheet plants?
GWP Coatings is happy to coat materials supplied to us. Please note, however, that some coatings may only work with specific board liners or grades. Alternatively, GWP can cost-effectively supply suitable corrugated cardboard material for coating.
Is it possible to purchase the coatings separately?
The coatings that GWP uses are formulated to work with specialist equipment, including our bespoke coating machines. The coatings, therefore, do not typically work well with more common application methods such as sprayers.
Can you provide conversion information on the coatings?
You can easily convert all of the coated board GWP supplies using standard box-making equipment. However, we can provide detailed data sheets and advise on any specialist considerations that you should take into account when converting the coated material.
Can these coatings be applied to carton board?
Due to the equipment we use to coat material at GWP Coatings, it is not currently possible to offer carton board packaging coatings.
