Coated Cardboard

Your business / sheet plant can source a wide range of specialist board coatings – effectively coated cardboard – for almost any application or requirement.

Being the leading independent coaters of corrugated material in the UK, you can source ready coated board, supply your own material to be coated, or even choose from a range of prefabricated packaging products manufactured with these specialist properties. All of which can be supplied as part of a confidential trade agreement if required.

Please use the links below to view the full range specialist corrugated cardboard coatings you can source for use at your sheet plant / conversion facility.

Besides the range of coated cardboard sheets you can source from GWP, there are a number of other products you can take advantage of.

This makes GWP’s offering more readily accessible to end users / businesses, whilst also being available to UK sheet plants for resale.

Besides the range of coated material that GWP can supply direct to UK sheet plants, the levels of service that you can benefit from can make a tangible difference to your business.

For starters, whilst holding large stocks of specialist coatings, inks and corrugated board allows you to source low volumes competitively, it also allows you to take delivery of coated cardboard on exceptionally short lead times.

Whether coating the wide selection of corrugated cardboard available / held in stock by GWP, or supplied to us by you (the method favoured by a large number of sheet plants), efficient manufacturing techniques and highly trained staff ensure that both high and low volumes can be completed and supplied on exceptionally short lead times.

Another benefit of using in house coating machines, operated by skilled technicians with vast experience, is that you are guaranteed both exceptional quality, performance, and consistency of colour (where applicable).

Operating more than a single coating machine allows further reductions in lead times too. It also means you can source material with multiple coatings – for example a flood colour overlaid with a waterproof coating – just as effectively.

GWP Coatings also have a dedicated coater used only for Corstat® ESD cardboard – ensuring that critical performance levels are never compromised on the finished conductive material.

As the UK leaders in applying specialist coatings to corrugated cardboard, you may think that GWP can only help with large orders and high volumes.

However, you are able to specify all of the specialist coatings available from runs starting as low as just 200 square metres. This makes it an exceptionally cost-effective service for practically any sheet plant or converter.

And, as GWP Coatings keep an extensive stock holding of all coatings / inks, it allows for flexibility in providing both short runs – or indeed very large volumes – whilst maintaining very competitive prices.

GWP are also pleased to be able to provide the corrugated material for coating or are happy to coat material provided by yourself (although please note that not all coatings are compatible / recommended with all board grades / liners).

Should you wish to source the corrugated cardboard material from GWP, you are guaranteed quality, short lead times and very competitive pricing across a wide range of board grades / options.
