Aqueous Coated Boxes and Aqueous Folding Boxes protects the folding box and packaging from scuffing during transit and distribution. Aqueous coatings on folding boxes preserve the packaging for when it on display in the retail environment. Consumers often avoid buying products with scuffed packaging. In short, aqueous coatings on folding boxes protects your investment in your product by protecting your branding and image at the point of sale.
Regardless of your project specifications, whether price is more important than graphical perfection, we can provision aqueous coatings on all of your packaging needs. |

Aqueous Coated Boxes never yellows. Oil based inks and varnishes will yellow over time, therefore is risky for packaged products with longer shelf lives. Aqueous Coated Boxes are more environmentally friendly, more recyclable, because aqueous coatings are water based inks/coatings instead of oil based or grease based inks and coatings.
While most of today’s commercial printers have more modern machinery, some printers for packages use older equipment that is not compatible with Aqueous Coated Boxes. An Aqueous Coated Boxes speciation does limit the market somewhat, however if you want aqueous finishing we can source it for you and there is really no additional capital expenditure required. |

Aqueous Coated Boxes are glueable, so the Aqueous Coated Boxes don’t have to have spot varnished finishing. Regular varnish finishes repel the glue needed to seal the box whereas the aqueous coated boxes are water based, so the glue penetrates; aqueous coated boxes allow the glue to bite the cardboard. Most varnishes will not allow the glue to penetrate, typical water based glue will not stick to most varnishes. Non-aqueous coated boxes would require special varnish and it makes it harder to guarantee that the glue will be effective for enough of the boxes for quality control purposes.
Printers blanket the whole sheet when applying aqueous coatings on boxes; covering everything, because the printers do not have to account for spot varnishing and glue penetration defects. This process is also known as flooding the packaging with the aqueous coating, eliminating the additional resources required for spot varnishing with regular greased based varnish finishing for paperboard boxes. |
