Barrier paper and board, ready to convert

We supply papers and boards with water-based barrier coatings, designed to be recycled and repulped, in sheets or rolls for your converting process.

  • Water and grease barrier
  • Designed for recycling and repulping
  • Food-contact grades (FDA)
Food packaging made from coated board

Built for converters

We deliver the material already coated, tested and ready to produce.

Fits your line

Coated materials run on standard printing, die-cutting and heat-sealing processes; we confirm it with a trial.

Sheets or rolls

We deliver in the format your machinery requires: sheets up to 70×100 cm or wide rolls up to 1.6 m.

Staged development

Samples and prototypes to validate the material before ordering volume.

What changes in your structure

The same protection, with a material recyclers can actually recover.

A single fiber material, designed to repulp.

Two ways to work

Choose based on who supplies the substrate.

Toll coating

You supply the substrate (paper or board), we apply the coating technology, and return it ready to convert. Seamless integration with your current inventory.

  • No need to change substrate supplier

Turnkey solution

We handle the entire process: substrate validation, coating, and delivery of the finished material. A single source for your sustainable packaging supply.

  • From formulation to delivery

Available formats

Sheets of coated board

Sheets

For box converters, single packs and mid-size runs with many SKUs.

  • Standard sizes up to 70 × 100 cm
  • Ideal for folding cartons and food wrapping
  • Compatible with offset printing and die-cutting
  • Lower minimum order quantities
Rolls of coated paper

Rolls

For continuous converting lines with high volumes.

  • Width up to 1.6 m for industrial lines
  • Continuous production without frequent stops
  • Flexible packaging and paper bags
  • Higher efficiency and lower cost per meter

Barriers for real-world use

Grease Barrier

Grease resistance (Kit test) for fatty food packaging.

Water resistance

Water and moisture resistance for cold chain and wet foods.

Recyclable and repulpable

Formulations designed for fiber recycling streams. Repulpability is confirmed for each grade.

Alternative to plastic laminates

Coated paper where a PE or BOPP laminate currently makes recycling difficult.

Why work with us

Documented recyclability

We share the recyclability and repulpability documentation available for each grade.

One platform, multiple barriers

From basic grease resistance to water + grease + heat-seal combinations. Scalable based on your application.

Fewer layers, simpler supply chain

Without a plastic laminate, the structure and supply chain get simpler. Cost is compared case by case.

Food contact

Grades compliant with FDA 21 CFR for contact with dry, fatty and aqueous foods, depending on the product.

Frequently asked questions

In what formats do you supply the coated material?

In sheets up to 70 × 100 cm or rolls up to 1.6 m wide, depending on what your equipment needs.

Can I use my own paper?

Yes. With toll coating you supply the substrate and we return it coated, ready to convert.

Is the material suitable for food contact?

There are grades compliant with FDA 21 CFR for dry, fatty and aqueous foods, depending on the product.
