Services

However, all of the coatings, material and products that you can source through GWP are complimented by a wide range of supporting services to further maximise the benefits to you.

If you are a sheet plant or packaging manufacturer, GWP Coatings’ offering is simple. Get high quality, coated board delivered when you need it as part of a completely confidential trade service.

By keeping all trade board coating in house at GWP’s production facility just outside of Swindon, it allows you to be certain that stringent quality checks are applied at every stage of the process.

This can be the checking of colours for pantone matching. The longevity of your Liquigard water and oil resistant coating. Or even the conductive performance of the exclusive Corstat® anti-static coating. This combination of equipment, services and experience effectively ensures your coated board will be of the highest standard.

Besides this, trade board coating comes with the promise of complete confidentiality. This gives you peace of mind that you can increase your product offering to your clients with no concerns of losing their business.

Besides allowing you to offer your customers a wider range of corrugated packaging products, the confidential agreements you can undertake with GWP allow you to source a much wider range of products as well.

For example, Correx® corrugated plastic can be notoriously difficult to convert on standard machinery. However, if your customers are looking for this type of product, GWP Coatings can supply this as a trade service. The same applies engineered foam, anti-static products, handling supplies and even specialist corrugated products such as crash lock boxes or spools.

This is in addition to managing a stock holding of your commonly used products which you can call off on a “Just in Time” basis.

Please see below for further details of these services.

GWP Coatings, previously trading under the Corstat® name, is now a key part of the GWP Group, focusing specifically on specialist coatings onto corrugated cardboard. This is predominantly offered as a trade service to other sheet plants and packaging manufacturers.

However, as with the other areas of GWP Group, a key focus is your complete satisfaction. This is achieved, in part, through minimal lead times, just in time supply and a focus on consistent high quality and flexibility

As well as sharing this knowledge and product range with you, the long-term aim will always be to strengthen the relationships with your business through the level of service offered as standard.

At GWP Coatings we strive to provide you with innovative and cost-effective packaging solutions where there is a need for an additional surface coating. Whether this is to protect from water, oil, abrasion, or to simply add branding or instructions, you can benefit from a solution tailored to your specific requirements.

Besides this, and in contrast to the vast majority of other material coaters, you can specify finished board from as little as 200 sq. metres.

This is in addition to matching any pantone colour, meaning that expensive silk screen printing can be avoided. This provides a perfect solution to short run pre-print liners and low volume / high quality packaging products.

As a business, we are certain the solutions provided offer you the optimum performance and flexibility, regardless of the environment or application they will be used for.

Please watch the video to the below for an overview of GWP Coatings operations, manufacturing process and team.

Due to the nature of GWP Coatings’ business, the vast majority of coated board is supplied direct to UK sheet plants. This, in turn, has seen GWP become heavily involved with the Sheet Plant Association.

The “SPA” effectively provides a forum for the owners and managers of Corrugated Sheet Plants – and their associated suppliers – to meet and discuss matters of common interest.

It is also heavily involved in matters affecting the corrugated packaging industry as well as the sheet plant sector specifically, promotes the sector to potential new customers, and encourages best practice amongst members.

Training, relating to industry specific skills, knowledge, and personal development for the employees of member companies is also a key objective, as is the promoting of co-operative working between member companies.
